Choklits Early Learning Centre and Kindergarten in Ringwood
At Choklits, we believe learning is everywhere and we are committed to learning from everyone. When children attend Choklits they get the opportunity to learn and to flourish, regardless of their background. Children get to meet new friends, have fun and ready themselves for school.
Service Director Jodi McVea leads our team of consistent educators at Choklits Ringwood and has been at our Ringwood Service for over 10 years!
Early childhood is a critical development period. We’re committed to ‘sparking the fire’ for lifelong learning in a safe, supportive and secure environment.
Choklits Child Care in Ringwood occupies a converted traditional old homestead and boasts one of the biggest natural outdoor playgrounds in Melbourne…
Our huge backyard and outside areas incorporate dedicated play areas and equipment, vegetable gardens where the children grow their own crops as part of our ‘Plant to Plate’ program, a separate nursery play yard for our babies and kindergarten specific areas for big item creative play.
It’s our aim at Choklits to help each child develop a spirit of independence appropriate to their age and capabilities, and encourage curiosity about life. We assist children to develop high self-esteem and to learn how to initiate their own forms of learning. Jodi is well known for providing practical support, information and assistance to parents on childhood development and aims to build mutual trust between everyone in the Choklits community which includes our children, team members, families and all those who visit Choklits.
In addition to the basic standard curriculum that every Child Care Centre must provide, we also include many additional incursions and excursion experiences. With age tailored sports programs, music lessons, a library excursion for our kindergarten children and yoga tuition all delivered every week, and many more incursions and excursions throughout the year you can be sure all our early learners have fun as they begin their first stages of formal education and development.

From the Choklits Community...
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.

Choklits Surrey Hills has been such a wonderful, positive place for my 2 year old. The staff always have a smile on their face and are so welcoming and the rooms and grounds are so clean. The educators are fabulous and are always trying to find new ways to educate and keep the kids engaged and learning. I highly recommend.

Both our kids go to Choklits and love it there. I love how all the educators seem to know all the kids even when they’re in different rooms. Feels like family! The extra curricular activities like yoga and music are awesome too.
