Grasshoppers Early Learning Centre - Hoppers 153-161 Gordon Road, Redland Bay, Queensland 4166

Welcome to Grasshoppers Early Learning Centre - Hoppers, located at 153-161 Gordon Road in Redland Bay, Australia. Our establishment is a point of interest and school that provides high-quality child care and early education services for families in the surrounding areas of Mount Cotton, Russell Island, Thornlands, and Victoria Point.

At Grasshoppers Early Learning Centre, we specialize in caring for children from birth to 6 years old. We are proud to have received the Exceeding the National Quality Standard recognition, which highlights our commitment to providing excellent outcomes for children's learning and development.

As soon as you step foot into our centre, you will be immersed in a world where children are encouraged to explore, learn, and have fun. Our adventure-filled playgrounds feature sandpits, natural gardens, climbing forts, swings, vegetable gardens, a bicycle track, and various play equipment that engage all the senses. We believe in providing children with ample time and space for uninterrupted play, allowing them to test their limits, develop strength, balance, and self-confidence. Being outdoors also promotes overall health and wellbeing.

Inside our centre, children have access to quality resources and learning experiences that inspire exploration and creativity. Our experienced educators plan play-based learning experiences tailored to each child's interests and learning goals. Literacy and numeracy concepts are seamlessly integrated into these experiences, allowing children to engage as architects, storytellers, scientists, artists, and designers.

In addition to our regular programs, we offer Before School Care and Vacation Care programs that focus on fun and learning. These programs include a mix of in-centre activities, indoor and outdoor play, and visits to the community.

When it comes to meals, we've got you covered. Our in-house cook prepares nutritious meals daily, catering to all dietary requirements. Shared mealtimes between children and educators foster strong relationships and provide opportunities to share stories, experiences, and model healthy eating practices.

Your child will have access to new experiences every day at our centre. We offer engaging specialized programs, including our Bush Kindy program, as well as optional sport, music, and movement programs for an additional fee. These programs enhance the daily program and provide enriching opportunities for growth and development.

We believe in connecting with our local community, and our educators and children regularly venture out on excursions to nearby places such as the library, aged care centre, Redland Bay State School, and parks. We also welcome special guests and community members to the centre based on the children's interests, such as responsible pet owners, animal encounters, speech therapists, occupational therapists, dentists, and emergency services.

Cultural events are an important part of our centre, and we celebrate regular occasions such as Mother's Day, Father's Day, Grandparent's Day, and more. These events reflect the diversity in our local community and provide opportunities for children to learn about different cultures and traditions.

Neighbourhood connections are also important to us, as they support a sense of community and belonging for children. They provide opportunities to develop social and observational skills by interacting with different people, places, and environments.
