We offer nurturing care and quality early education for children from 6 weeks to 6 years, with flexible hours (9, 10, 11, and 12-hour sessions) to suit busy families.
Our Learning Environments
Our children benefit from familiar faces as they grow, creating a sense of continuity:
- Nursery (0-2 years): A safe, nurturing environment for babies to explore with tailored sensory and social experiences.
- Toddler (2-3 years): Play-based learning encourages curiosity, confidence, and social skills.
- Kindergarten (3-6 years): A stimulating learning environment that prepares our children for school through our Enhanced Learning Program.
We’re proud to have qualified teachers and educators, supported by a team of national education experts, ensuring the highest quality childcare and early education.
Innovative Early Learning Programs
Our teachers deliver the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF or the national curriculum) through play-based learning that covers language, literacy, numeracy, STEM, social, and emotional development. Our program also includes:
- Rhythm and Movement for Self-Regulation (RAMSR), an evidence-based program developed by Queensland University of Technology to support children’s executive function and self-regulation.
- Environmental and social sustainability learning experiences.
- Personalised learning plans for each child.
- Local school connections.
We focus on strong family partnerships through regular learning and development conversations with your child’s lead educator, learning showcases, and in-centre family events. Our Xplor app provides real-time updates and learning summaries daily to keep you informed on your child’s journey.

Our daughter has been attending First Grammar Wantirna South for the last 18 months and we could not be happier with the educators, curated syllabus and her overall progression since starting.

Sara, Pun and Rhonda came very highly recommended from 2 other families and we are so glad we listened to them. We have been sending our son to First Grammar since he was 6 months old and I could not have asked for better careers. They are kind, warm, friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Pun and Rhonda have a lot of experience and has given me so much guidance from creams for his cradle cap to what solids to feed him. Everyone here truly cares for your child like their own. My son has really thrived here and is hitting his milestones thanks to the care and attention he receives. He is always happy and laughing when I come and pick him up. You could not ask for better place to care for you little one than First Grammar.
