Child Care Centre – 13 Rouke Street, Lilydale
Positioned within a leafy residential setting, the proposed child care centre at 13 Rouke Street, Lilydale presents a high-quality early learning facility designed to meet the needs of modern families, educators and investors alike.
The contemporary architectural form is defined by clean lines, generous glazing and a warm, welcoming streetscape presence. Thoughtfully landscaped setbacks and terraced gardens soften the building’s scale, creating a calm, child-friendly arrival while integrating seamlessly with the surrounding neighbourhood.
Internally, the centre offers a series of purpose-designed learning rooms catering for nursery, toddler and kindergarten age groups. Each space is flooded with natural light and enjoys direct access to secure outdoor play areas, supporting a strong indoor-outdoor learning philosophy. Flexible layouts allow for adaptable teaching environments, quiet learning zones and collaborative play.
A standout feature of the design is the extensive outdoor play provision, with landscaped areas carefully zoned to suit different age groups. Open lawns, shaded play spaces and natural planting elements create engaging and stimulating environments that encourage exploration, creativity and physical development throughout the day.
Safety and functionality are prioritised, with clear sightlines, a welcoming reception area and efficient on-site parking including accessible spaces. Staff amenities and service areas are discreetly integrated to ensure smooth daily operations and a calm learning atmosphere.
Sustainability is embedded throughout the design, incorporating strong solar orientation, shaded glazing, energy-efficient systems and water-sensitive landscape design. The centre has been carefully planned to respect neighbouring properties, minimising overlooking and ensuring a harmonious residential interface.
This thoughtfully designed early learning centre represents a premium childcare opportunity in a growing family-oriented location, offering long-term operational appeal and strong investment potential.
