Welcome to Little Grasshoppers Early Learning Centre - Mornington Main St

Welcome to Main St Childcare Centre, where every child's journey begins with a flourish! Nestled at the prestigious top end of Mornington's bustling Main Street, our centre offers unparalleled convenience with easy access and on-site parking, ensuring a stress-free drop-off and pick-up experience for busy parents.

Step into our purpose-built haven designed to cater to the developmental needs of children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. With 73 placements available, we pride ourselves on providing a nurturing environment that fosters growth and exploration. Our vibrant facility features dedicated rooms for bubs, toddlers, and kinder, each equipped with state-of-the-art amenities including a spacious dining area and a captivating library.

But what truly sets us apart is our expansive outdoor oasis. Here, children embark on adventures amidst separate and sizable play areas tailored to their age groups. From the joyous clucking of chickens in our charming coop to the aromatic delights of our herb garden, every corner is a treasure trove of discovery. And when the sun beats down, there's no better place to cool off than our exhilarating water play area, sparking giggles and laughter in equal measure.

At Main St, we understand the importance of nourishing growing minds and bodies. That's why our dedicated on-site cook crafts four delectable meals daily, from hearty breakfasts to wholesome lunches, ensuring every child receives the fuel they need to thrive. Snack times are equally nutritious, with fresh fruit and vegetable plates making regular appearances, all meticulously curated to meet national dietary standards.

Our commitment to excellence extends beyond mere childcare; it's about laying the groundwork for a lifetime of learning. Led by qualified teachers, our Funded Kindergarten program embraces the Early Years Learning Framework, enriching young minds through a diverse curriculum that encompasses everything from visual and performing arts to sustainability practices and cultural appreciation. But the learning doesn't stop there. Through our innovative Community Explore and Intergenerational Programs, children forge connections beyond the classroom, fostering empathy, understanding, and a sense of belonging.

And let's not forget our feathered friends! Our Kinder groups are delighted to interact with our friendly chickens, fostering a love for nature and responsibility as they care for their new companions.

At Main St Childcare Centre, we're not just shaping futures; we're creating magical moments that will be treasured for a lifetime. Join us on this extraordinary journey, where every day is an adventure waiting to unfold.

Title: Little Grasshoppers' Educational Philosophy: Nurturing Growth and Community

At Little Grasshoppers, we're driven by a core belief: every child deserves not just education, but an environment steeped in love, care, and quality. Our philosophy centers on fostering an atmosphere where each child's uniqueness is celebrated, their growth nurtured, and their safety ensured.

We recognize that children are sponges, soaking up knowledge from every interaction, whether it's with family, educators, peers, or the wider community. As educators, we understand the weight of our role in shaping young minds and strive to leave a positive, lasting impact.

Our curriculum, deeply rooted in the Early Years Learning Framework, forms the bedrock of our educational approach. Through play-based learning, we provide children the freedom to explore, question, and discover, tailored to their individual interests and developmental needs.

We celebrate diversity, understanding that each child brings a rich tapestry of abilities, skills, and experiences to our learning environment. Our educators, committed to fostering warm, reciprocal relationships, respect each child's journey, building on their strengths and interests.

But our philosophy extends beyond the classroom walls. We believe in a collaborative partnership with families, recognizing their invaluable role in a child's life. Together, we craft an emergent curriculum that resonates with each child's interests, ensuring meaningful learning experiences.

Environmental consciousness is woven into our ethos, with sustainable practices guiding our daily operations. Clear communication with parents ensures transparency, while regular reflection ensures our practices align with the highest standards.

As we evolve and grow, our philosophy remains a living document, open to annual review and input from educators, families, and management. At Little Grasshoppers, we're not just shaping minds; we're nurturing a community of curious, capable learners, ready to explore the world around them.
