Our team of highly-qualified and passionate early childhood teachers and educators are dedicated to ensuring every child feels safe, nurtured, and inspired throughout their early years' education journey.

Our centre is designed to be a home away from home, encouraging every child's exploration and curiosity. The learning environments at Great Beginnings Southern River have been carefully decorated to immerse your child in a world of exploration and learning. Each learning space extends onto our beautiful outdoor environment, which includes a vegetable garden, a bike track, and a workbench for sensory activities. These resources are designed to promote play-based learning and help children develop their strength, balance, and self-confidence.

Play is essential to every child's learning and development, and our experienced educators plan play-based learning activities in line with national standards. We follow the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), engaging in your child's interests and supporting their learning in preparation for primary school.

Nutrition is also a priority at Great Beginnings Southern River. We provide children with nutrient-rich, fresh, and seasonal whole foods that cater to their unique dietary requirements. Our menu rotates every four weeks, ensuring variety and catering to even the fussiest of eaters. We believe in encouraging children's active participation in food preparation, teaching them the importance of healthy eating through growing, harvesting, and cooking their own meals.

In addition to our educational programs and nutritious meals, Great Beginnings Southern River offers a range of experiences tailored to each age group. From individual and small group play in our nursery rooms to supporting young children in becoming curious and creative problem solvers in our toddler rooms, we ensure each child's strengths and needs are catered to in our preschool program. This program prepares them for a smooth and successful transition to school.

We understand that navigating child care subsidies can be confusing, which is why our team of experts is always available to guide you through the process.
