About Great Beginnings Boronia

We are conveniently located for families in or commuting through Boronia, Bayswater, Bayswater North, The Basin, Kilsyth South, Wantirna and Ferntree Gully. 

Many of our Children go on to attend local schools such as Boronia Heights Primary school and Basin Primary 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.

    We have been at Great Beginnings Boronia since 2022. This centre has been nothing than amazing! Going above and beyond to ensure that we as parents are kept in the loop with our children's day to day. I can't thank the educators enough for creating such a warm and welcoming environment for our children to learn and grow in!

    My little girl is loving it here so far! Communication and kindness from all the carers too makes me feel so much more comfortable and at ease being a first time mum dropping her off and leaving her in care. Very happy, recommend 100%!

  • Lisa Beilharz5 months ago

    I was nervous about sending our child to daycare but Karrina and the team made it as easy as possible. The educators in the rooms are so lovely, knowledgeable, and supportive and made the whole process seamless. They have listened to our wishes about routines and requests and made such an effort to build a strong relationship with our child including when transitioning rooms. Highly recommend and will be sending out second child there when the time comes.
