We know that the first years of a child’s life are an important time, which is why we're committed to high quality three and four-year-old kindergarten programs. With 30 kindergartens throughout Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula and Colac, we’re one of the biggest and most experienced providers in the region.

Community Support Services

Everyone faces challenges and we’re here to lend compassionate help, and to take a preventative and early response approach, no matter how big or small the problem. Find out how we can help you across all stages of life.

Early Childhood (NDIS)

Lifelong support for our community begins in the early years – because at Meli we know that the first years of a child’s life are an important time. We provide family-focused services for children aged zero to eight years across the Barwon region, including the early childhood approach (NDIS).
