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.

We highly recommend Great Beginnings. The continuity of staff, their devotion to each individual child and the level of inclusion they provide is truly something else.<br><br>We have sent all of our children to Great Beginnings, and they have always supported not only our children but us as a family as well. From the educators to management, everyone has always been approachable, caring, supportive and genuinely invested in our children.<br><br>Our daughter, who is now a past student, has Level 3 ASD, and the love, care and understanding shown towards her during her time at the centre was incredible. The staff went above and beyond to understand her individual needs, support her goals and make sure she was included, valued and celebrated for who she is.<br><br>The dedication shown to her development and wellbeing meant so much to us as parents. We always felt that she was genuinely cared for and that the staff wanted the very best for her. After the experience we had with our daughter, sending our other children to Great Beginnings was a no-brainer. We knew they would be in the best possible hands.<br><br>Great staff, great management and an amazing centre. We couldn't recommend Great Beginnings highly enough.

Response from the owner

HHi Victoria,<br><br>Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt review. It's been special to care for all of your children over the years and to support your whole family along the way.<br><br>We're proud of our longstanding team, and it's lovely to hear that continuity has made such a difference for you. Getting to know each child as an individual and making sure they feel included, valued and celebrated for who they are is so important to us.<br><br>Knowing your daughter's time with us left such a positive impression, and that it gave you confidence to enrol your other children, is wonderful to hear. Thank you for your trust. ❤️<br><br>Kind regards,<br>The Great Beginnings Cranbourne North team
