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.

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 couldn’t be happier with the care and attention our little one receives at Great Beginnings. The staff are incredibly nurturing and professional, creating a warm and welcoming environment for all the children. Our child has thrived in their care, enjoying a variety of engaging activities that support both learning and development. The communication from the centre is excellent, keeping us well-informed about our child’s progress and daily experiences. We highly recommend Great Beginnings to any parent looking for a safe, supportive, and enriching child care experience.”

This centre is absolutely fantastic. From the manager to all the staff on the floor with the kids, they make you feel welcomed. They listen, and create an indivialised learning plan and goals for each child. Our son has created great friends and had learnt heaps. The variety of activities is phenomenal. Very safe and reliable centre.

Cannot fault Great Beginnings Epsom at all, they make my little boy feel so welcome and safe and he loves all of the educators! They ease all your anxiety about leaving your child in their care and don’t make you feel silly for checking in! Alana and Briony are absolutely amazing and their engagement and communication with the families is unmatched, couldn’t recommend them highly enough!

As two very nervous parents who left their baby in the hands of the Great Beginnings team 10 months ago we could not be happier with the choice of daycare centres. The staff genuinely care for the children from the educators all the way up to management and are always happy to assist with working towards any developmental goals our daughter is working on. The updates received throughout the day via the app are a highlight and most importantly our daughter is happy when we drop her off which says to us she is happy to spend her day at the centre.
