Totom House early childhood centre provides quality care for children ranging in age from 6 weeks to school age. Totom House is a community based non profit centre. It is managed by the centre Director and a committee made up primarily of parents.
At Totom House we actively promote Australia’s multicultural society by sharing with the children aspects of the diverse cultures and backgrounds of the various ethnic groups.
We encourage parents and friends of the children from different backgrounds to bring their experiences, songs, stories and games into the centre so these can be shared with the children.
We are accredited with the National Childcare Accreditation Council Inc.
We are located at:
Corner Georgina & Maribyrnong Cres
Kaleen ACT 2617

Our Philosophy
- To provide a high quality, secure and caring environment.
- To treat all children fairly and with sensitivity with respect to culture, race religion, family structure, gender and disability.
- To encourage all children to learn through experience, questioning, experimenting and to think for themselves.
- To develop self esteem and independence.
In July our Preschool room children went to Giralang Primary School to visit the school and see their art which is part of their celebrations for Naidoc Week. The children caught a bus to Giralang and back, unfortunately, the inclement weather meant they did not have the planned picnic but the excitement of being on a bus made up for this.
Our next planned experience is an Incursion when Little Fox visits the Centre on the 9th August 2011.
After over 12 years of wonderful and rewarding service, Suzanne has left Totom House and is looking forward to retirement. The staff and families of Totom House would like to pass on a heartfelt thank you to Suzanne for all her hard work.
We’d also like to welcome Robyn who has taken over as director. Robyn is from Orange and comes to Totom House with lots of experience. Robyn has previously worked as a TAFE Teacher in NSW, Preschool Teacher and Preschool Director at Yeoval in NSW.
