I would like to thank all the staffs of this Choklits Surrey Hill, especially the Director Qing and Manager Dee, for their support during this tough time for my child and I. I just moved to Box Hill, and I have had multiple tours around all the childcare in Box Hill. But there was not any make me feel satisfied with. As a result, I finally came across Choklits on a strong recommendation from a friend who has worked in the education industry for more than ten years. The environment inside is the cleanest childcare I have ever visited. And the teachers and children in this childcare are very kind. And the apps used for communication between families and educators is also very convenient for parents to know their children’s daily situation at any time. Teachers and the diretor will also communicate with each parent in a timely and patient manner. And they were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about my child in a short time. So my child adapted to this new environment with their help in few days. Also, the distribution ratio between children and teachers is appropriate. Almost every child receives timely care and attention. Especially children with allergies are also highly concerned and cared by Choklits. The Choklits’s food is very good and the facilities here are also very good. Parents are strongly recommended to send their children to this childcare. This is undoubtedly a great support for parents.

The educators are fabulous and are always trying to find new ways to educate and keep the kids engaged and learning. I highly recommend.

FAQs

What Parents Ask Us Most About Enrolments

Everything you need to know about enrolment at Choklits

How do I enrol my child at Choklits?

The best way to start is to book a tour or make an enquiry with your nearest Choklits centre. We will show you the rooms, outdoor spaces, daily routines, meals, learning program and everything included in your fee. We will also take time to learn about your child, your family and what matters most to you.

After your tour, our team can guide you through the enrolment steps, answer fee and Child Care Subsidy questions, and help you get ready for your child’s first day. We want enrolment to feel simple, warm and stress free.

Choklits offers long day care, early learning and Victorian Government-funded kindergarten for children from 6 weeks to 6 years. This includes nursery care for babies, toddler rooms, pre-kinder, three-year-old kinder and four-year-old kinder.

Our centres are designed to support every stage of early childhood. Your child can grow with familiar educators, caring routines and rich learning experiences from their first days in care through to school readiness.

Choklits uses an all-inclusive daily fee model, so families do not need to worry about lots of extra charges. Your daily fee includes fresh meals, nappies, bedding, sunscreen, daily essentials, learning experiences, incursions, excursions and our CHOKLITS+ programs.

This means children can join in fully. We do not want children to miss out because a special activity costs more. At Choklits, the extra value is built into the day.

No. Many child care centres charge extra for added programs, but at Choklits they are included in your daily fee. Through CHOKLITS+, children enjoy rich experiences such as music and movement, yoga, sport, language classes, cooking, messy play, library visits, bush kinder, incursions and excursions.

These programs help children build confidence, creativity, movement skills, social skills and a love of learning. They also give families great value, because the cost is already included.

Your out-of-pocket cost will depend on your family’s Child Care Subsidy. In most cases, eligible families do not pay the full daily fee. You pay the gap between the Choklits daily fee and the amount the government pays toward your care.

Your subsidy can depend on your family income, how many children you have in care, your child’s age, your activity level and the type of care you use. You will need to apply through myGov, and our team can help explain how it works and guide you through a fee estimate.

Yes. Choklits offers funded three-year-old and four-year-old kindergarten programs with the Kinder Tick. Our kindergarten programs are led by qualified early childhood teachers and are built into our long day care model.

This is helpful for busy families because children can take part in a funded kinder program while still enjoying long day care hours, meals, rest time, play-based learning and care during school holidays.

We know the first day of child care is a big moment for children and families. Before your child starts, we take time to learn about their routines, comfort needs, sleep, meals, interests and personality. This helps us make their first days feel safe and familiar.

Our educators build warm, trusting relationships with children. We use calm routines, gentle support and clear communication with families. You will also receive updates through our communication app, so you can see how your child is settling and what they are enjoying.

Child safety is at the heart of everything we do. Choklits meets all 11 Victorian Child Safe Standards and operates as a Child Safe Organisation. We are also guided by the National Quality Framework, Education and Care Services National Law and National Regulations.

Safety at Choklits includes strong policies, safe environments, child-focused practices, family communication and ongoing team training. Our goal is for every child to feel safe, seen, respected and cared for every day.

At Choklits, children learn through play, discovery, relationships and real-life experiences. Our curriculum is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework and Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework. This means your child is learning while they build, sing, climb, cook, garden, talk, move, create, solve problems and make friends.

Play-based learning helps children grow social skills, language, early maths and literacy, confidence, independence and school readiness. We believe learning is everywhere, and our educators help children notice it, explore it and build on it each day.

Families choose Choklits because we offer more than child care. We offer a warm community, trusted educators, strong safety practices, fresh meals, large learning spaces, funded kinder, all-inclusive fees and the added value of CHOKLITS+.

We have cared for families in Melbourne’s east for more than 26 years at our Ringwood and Croydon centres, and we now also welcome families at Surrey Hills. Across our centres, our team includes more than 120 educators, teachers, chefs, allied health professionals and specialist program leaders. We would love to welcome your family too.
