Former local resident David Castles recounts his time at kinder. Ada Mary A’Beckett was the founder of the Free Kindergarten Union of Victoria, which began in 1908, and helped establish the Kindergarten Training College in Kew. A’Beckett initiated a fundraising appeal to start this Children’s centre, which was initially on Batman road, but moved to Cumberland Road in 1949. The centre was destroyed by fire in 1975, and operated briefly out of the Mission to Seamen building, before being rebuilt.
