About Grasshoppers Early Learning Centre - Hoppers
We are conveniently located for families in or commuting through Redland Bay, Mount Cotton, Russell Island, Thornlands, and Victoria Point.
Many of our Children go on to attend local schools such as Redland Bay State School, supporting a smooth transition to school.
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.

Since 2011 Grasshoppers has been a very special part of our family with my two children attending the service. The service is welcoming, thoughtful and caring and I can personally say I have been met with all of the beautiful traits of Grasshoppers. Today, my daughter and friends went on a little excursion and I heard a knock at the door. I went out and I was met by my daughter running to me to give me a hug and then waved me off to continue her exciting venture with her educators and friends. As a parent, this gave me an abundance of happiness knowing Grasshoppers has values above what I’ve known within the industry and really sets them apart from most. Thank you to the team at Grasshoppers! It’s a tough job but you do it well and the smile on my daughter’s face everyday proves it, so thank you!

My 9 month old started at Grasshoppers a couple months ago. It is nerve racking as a first time mum and your baby going to day care but I am so glad I found Grasshoppers early learning. All the educators have been amazing but a shout out to the nursery team especially, at welcoming us into the centre and creating such a warm and happy environment for my baby as this has helped her settle in very quickly and make strong bonds with her educators already. Julie and Tam have been the best and supportive management team and I highly recommend Grasshoppers because of them. Everyone is very positive, ready to welcome us with a smile every day and go out of their way to make our life as a parent easier with drop offs and pick ups. I am very happy to know my baby is getting amazing care and an educational experience while I'm at work. Thank you Grasshoppers team for making my transition back to work a smooth and happy experience.

Our daughter has grown up at this centre and she has formed close bonds with her teachers in every single room she's been in. Grasshoppers have been here for years so while it's not as new and shiny as some brand new centers, the care for your kids is second to none. Our daughter runs off happily to her 'other mums' every day. Highly recommend as long as it doesn't get so busy that we can't get the days we want 🤣
