EARLY Learning Victoria Shepparton (interim name) is looking for passionate early childhood professionals, administration staff and centre cooks to help local children get the best start in life in 2026.
The centre, one of 14 government-owned early learning and childcare centres opening across the state in 2026, will offer long day care and integrated kinder programs.
“Our approach is to meet each child’s learning needs and preferences in individual ways, while ensuring that children have access to nutritious food, rest and relaxation and the opportunity for uninterrupted periods of play throughout the day,” said Early Learning Victoria Chief Executive Officer, Darren Youngs.

Community is a big part of the culture at Early Learning Victoria, with centres rapidly becoming local hubs for child and family services, often conveniently co-located with local schools. This gives young Victorians the best start in life and means families can go back to work if and when they choose.
“Staff at our centres have access to ongoing professional learning opportunities, including coaching and mentoring, career-development opportunities and upskilling,” said Mr Youngs.
“If you are not yet qualified, please reach out to the Early Learning Victoria workforce team who can advise you on your first steps. Everyone starts somewhere.”
Early Learning Victoria is a child-safe organisation with a positive work culture supported by strong values.
