About First Steps Early Learning Journey

Welcome to First Steps Early Learning Journey

We are a family owned centre and unlike other childcare centres, which are owned by a corporation or investment firm, we’re not focused on profits. Our goal is to develop a relationship with each child and family and provide a personal touch to support each family. 

We provide the children with fundamental skills for life through an urban farming approach. Each day the children tend to the vegetable garden, care for the rabbits, stick insects, turtles and give their food scraps to the chickens. The children often help make pizza dough or pesto pasta using basil from the garden.

We have an expansive outdoor yard with vegetable and herb gardens, water play, sandpits, boat and much more.

We have studios that cater for children from 6 weeks to school age, with a qualified kindergarten teacher for our 3 and 4 year old children. 

We value children's learning and have a separate art studio & garden classroom, cooking classroom and family library to support literacy at home. We support children's wellbeing with little sports hero's every fortnight.

Xia Mei16 days ago

We moved our son to First Steps from another care provider a year ago. He has been so much happier, and we wish we had joined First Steps from the beginning. The staff are patient, professional, and genuinely caring. The children are happy and are taught to be kind and looking after each other. The environment is clean and welcoming. There are plenty of excursions: all of the kids just participated in the Christmas concert, and they are now preparing for a trip to Werribee in two weeks. Lucky children. We will be enrolling our younger son at First Steps soon without any hesitation.
