About Great Beginnings Brookfield

We are conveniently located for families in or commuting through Melton South, Melton West, Hopetoun Park, Exford, Kurunjang and Atherstone. 

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.

Great Beginnings has been the best choice I made for my child. The staff/educators are amazing. They go above and beyond with caring and nurturing the children. Great communication! Excellent and nutritious meals provided with other snacks readily available during the day. Beautiful learning spaces both inside and out giving all children a great chance to explore and learn how they want to along with great educational programs which has absolutely helped my child’s development. I honestly cannot fault them in any way! I will definitely be a returning parent 100% love your work Great Beginnings Melton!
