At Great Beginnings Epsom, we believe that every child deserves a great start in life. As soon as you step into our centre, you'll witness a nurturing and stimulating environment where children are encouraged to explore, learn, and grow. Our spacious outdoor areas feature sandpits, water play areas, and play equipment that engage all the senses. Here, children have ample time and space for uninterrupted play, enabling them to test their limits, develop strength, balance, and self-confidence. Being outdoors also promotes their overall health and well-being.

Inside our centre, children are invited to explore and learn in our well-equipped indoor spaces. We provide them with quality resources and purposeful play spaces that encourage wonder, creativity, and the testing of ideas. Our experienced educators plan play-based learning experiences tailored to children's interests and learning goals. Literacy and numeracy concepts are seamlessly embedded in these activities, allowing children to engage as architects, storytellers, scientists, artists, and designers.

Mealtimes are a delightful and educational experience at Great Beginnings Epsom. Our in-house cook prepares nutritious meals and snacks daily, catering to all dietary requirements. Shared mealtimes between children and educators strengthen relationships, offering opportunities to share stories and experiences, while modeling healthy eating practices.

To foster life skills from an early age, we offer various programs at our centre. Our children actively participate in the cooking process, thanks to our vegetable garden. They get to watch the garden grow, pick vegetables, and taste them in their food. Additionally, we provide engaging specialized programs such as yoga, sport, bush kinder, and a music and movement program. Our kindergarten program, led by passionate Early Childhood Teachers, offers an active and exciting curriculum that supports your child's school readiness.

As a member of our Great Beginnings community, we are committed to partnering with you to provide information, support, and high-quality education and care during your child's formative years.
