About Ballarat East:
We are excited to announce that Journey Early Learning Ballarat East is coming in early 2023! Our newest centre is a place where children aged from six weeks to six years of age can make a positive start to a life of learning, development, growth, and opportunity. Our purpose-built centre is located on Victoria Street, Ballarat East.
Want to be a part of Victoria’s history? Journey Early Learning has a unique opportunity to join our team in helping bring a vision to life in Ballarat. This site holds important history that dates back to the 1860s and is a vital part of the Ballarat community. The City of Ballarat Council has spent time restoring the historical sight in consultation with the Stolen Generations Officer and Aboriginal Cooperative. Connection is one of Journey’s values and creating links and ties with our local community is of utmost importance; Our Centre Leadership Team will be involved in not only day to day operations of the service but also in acknowledging, supporting and bringing the vision of 200 Victoria Street to life. If you feel you could contribute to doing something really special whilst exploring the heritage respectfully then reach out today.
