C&K Dixon St Early Years Centre is research childcare centre offering an intensive Early Childhood Education and Care program. It aims to address a critical gap in Australia’s early childhood education and care system, which is currently not set up to adequately support children living with severe levels of family stress and social disadvantage.

The objective of the intensive early childhood education and care program is that children living with significant adversity will experience a stable and enriching early learning and care program and enter school as confident and successful learners who are developmentally equal to their peers.

It is an exemplar model which aligns with C&K’s strategic priorities and the standards and values that are most dear to us as an organisation. The C&K Dixon Street Early Years Centre is one of three research sites in Australia and will be supported through coaching, mentoring and professional development from the Parkville Institute.

Working with team of qualified teachers, educators, and an infant mental health consultant you will contribute to an early learning environment that is safe, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of children, families, and educators.
