Surrey Hills Baptist Early Learning Centre

At SHBELC, we are your child’s “home away from home”! Known and loved within our local community for decades (yes, since the 1930s!), we totally get what babies, toddlers, and kindergarten children need to blossom and grow. Our playful environment supports parents in giving their little ones a fabulous and positive kick-start during those oh-so-important early years.

Here at SHBELC, we’re all about Community Connection, offering inclusive programs that make everyone feel like part of the family. Our Christian values are the heart and soul of everything we do, ensuring every child’s needs are front and centre and the importance of family is truly honored.

With open arms, we welcome children from six months to school age, and we believe early learning is an exciting adventure—not just plain old childcare!

Our goal? To consistently surpass national quality standards in care and education, giving your little ones a nurturing environment where they can thrive – not just for the next step in their learning adventure, but for life itself!

In our safe and nurturing space, curiosity runs wild, concepts are explored, and discoveries are celebrated. We’re committed to helping your child achieve incredible learning outcomes that set them on the path to success. Plus, our seamless transition from the Early Years Learning Hub to our funded three and four-year-old Kindergarten Programs ensures a smooth journey for every child. Come join us in crafting beautiful memories together!

At SHBELC, we believe that children are at the heart of our community, and our commitment to their care reflects our dedication to the bigger picture. Together, let's celebrate the amazing uniqueness of every child and strive for excellence in both care and education!
