About Macedon Early Learning Centre
Nestled in the foothills of the Macedon Ranges, Macedon Early Learning Centre offers an idyllic country setting, delivering exceptional quality care and education for children aged six weeks to six years and includes a fully accredited kindergarten program.
Our dedicated team of educators deliver play-based learning programs that foster a love of learning in a safe and welcoming environment. Our programs are designed to be emergent in nature and are guided by the children’s interests.
Our learning programs are further extended by our events calendar which includes a range of excursions, incursions, community events, and cultural celebrations throughout the year to facilitate an inclusive and holistic understanding of the wider world.
Children’s learning and daily routines are documented and delivered via a safe and secure electronic platform to ensure families are informed and involved in their child’s day.
Along with our purpose built facilities that have been thoughtfully designed to create positive and enriched learning experiences, we provide healthy and nutritious meals every day and our talented cook can cater for any dietary requirement.

The educators at MELC are warm, caring, and so engaged with the kids. Our toddler has truly thrived here—she's become more confident, social, and always comes home with little stories The outdoor play area is fantastic—spacious, safe, and filled with activities that encourage creativity and movement. She especially loves the sandpit and all the ride-on toys. We’re so grateful to have found wonderful care in our community. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a nurturing, fun, and educational environment for their little one.

We find Macedon elc authentic. The inside can be a little cosy but outside area is amazing and spacious. The kids have a fantastic connection with the educators. The people make this place fun and comforting.

Both of my daughters have joined MELC. The support in the baby room has been so wonderful - we never get tears from my 1 year old on drop off and I think it’s because she genuinely feels loved and happy to be there. The team have also been flexible to add additional days from time to time which has been a huge help particularly in school holidays.

The Team at MELC have been amazing with my child who suffers from Anaphylaxis. All the staff are highly trained in this area and have been proactive and extremely diligent in their care. I feel extremely comfortable leaving my child in their care. The center is a warm and inviting place with great staff and exciting schedule of activities for the little ones.
