About Great Beginnings Cranbourne North

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

Many of our Children go on to attend local schools such as Tulliallan 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.

Ashleigh Reynolds5 months ago

Our daughter has been attending the centre since she was 6 months old, and over the past 8 months we’ve been absolutely thrilled with the care, love, and support the entire team has shown her. She has formed wonderful relationships with the educators and is always so happy and excited to go to daycare each day, which, as a parent, is the best reassurance you could ask for. Sam and Tarn are incredibly hands-on and present in the rooms, and their leadership sets the tone for the nurturing environment. The low staff turnover speaks volumes and the educators really get to know each child individually, and it shows in the consistently exceptional care they provide. Communication is another standout. Updates through the app are clear and timely, and at pickup, the team always takes the time to share how her day has been. Even when I check in frequently (which I do!), they’re always kind, responsive, and never make me feel like I’m a bother. We’re so grateful to have found such a perfect centre for our daughter, and we can’t recommend them highly enough.
