Murdoch University Kindergarten

Murdoch University Kindergarten and Child Care is an independent early childhood education facility located on the Perth campus creating engaging play and educational environments for children from six months to six years.

The centre is run by experienced and dedicated staff committed to providing nurturing experiences. Children are encouraged to explore the natural world and build imagination and creativity with a diverse range of materials.

Murdoch University contributes a daily subsidy for eligible students who use the service. Australian Government child care fee subsidies are also available to most Australian residents and students on Australian scholarships.

With limited places available, there may be a waiting list for some age groups.
