Partnerships

Helping children and families through strong community connections

Why partnerships matter

Children thrive when the people around them work together.
That is why BPA Children’s Services partners with trusted organisations, councils and experts who support children, families, educators and communities in Melbourne’s west.

These partnerships help us create safe, inclusive and high-quality early learning across all our centres.

Our key partnerships

Local Councils

BPA is an approved Early Years Manager (EYM).
This means we work closely with the councils in the communities we serve. Together we plan services, support families, maintain centres and make sure local children have access to quality early learning.

These partnerships ensure:

  • strong enrolment processes
  • well-maintained buildings
  • local programs that reflect each community

Victorian Department of Education

We work in partnership with the Department of Education to:

  • meet all Child Safe Standards
  • deliver funded kindergarten programs
  • follow the National Quality Framework
  • support children with additional needs
  • stay aligned with the Victorian Early Years Learning Framework


This ensures every BPA service meets the highest safety and quality requirements.

Abacus Learning Centre

BPA partners with Abacus to support children with developmental needs, including autism.
This partnership helps us:

  • give children individual support
  • guide educators with expert advice
  • work closely with families to build strong learning plans

Brotherhood of St Laurence

Through this partnership, we connect families to:

  • support programs
  • financial wellbeing services
