What to Expect from a Green Leaves Early Learning Centre
Choosing an early learning centre is one of the most important decisions a family can make. It’s not just about finding childcare for your family, it’s about discovering a place where they’ll feel safe, supported, and inspired to grow.
We believe in creating a nurturing environment filled with wonder, joy, and education that grows with your child. Whether you’re exploring options for a newborn or preparing for the transition to Kindergarten, here’s what you can expect when you walk through the doors of one of our Centres.
A warm welcome, every day
The first thing you’ll notice when you walk into a Green Leaves Centre is the calm, welcoming atmosphere. From our beautiful foyer to our smiling team, everything is designed to make families feel comfortable and supported. We understand that starting at a new childcare centre can be a big transition. That’s why our team is always ready with a friendly hello, a helping hand, and time for a proper chat.
For families who want to stay a little longer after drop-off, our Parents Lounge is the perfect space to pause for a moment, enjoy a barista-made coffee, fill up on fresh fruit or a freshly baked treat, and recharge before the day ahead. And all of this is available to you for free. If you’re rushed for time, you can take it to go!
Beautiful play spaces that spark curiosity
Our purpose-built childcare centres are designed to support your child’s learning and development in a safe, engaging environment. Our nursery, toddler, pre-kindy, and kindergarten learning environments have been carefully designed to inspire curiosity and confidence.
There’s no bright plastic overload here. You’ll find natural materials, cosy corners, open-ended play stations, and calming colours. Outdoors, there’s room to run, explore, and imagine, with gardens, bike tracks, water play, sandpits, and shaded spaces to suit every age and stage.
Looking for childcare with a focus on nature play? You’ll love our leafy outdoor areas where children connect with the natural world and learn through hands-on discovery.
Learning through play, every day
Our early learning programs are based on the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and are led by passionate, qualified Educators who truly care.
Every day, your child will experience a balance of play-based learning, structured experiences, extracurricular activities, and time to explore at their own pace. Whether it’s painting, reading, sensory play, science experiments, or imaginative games, every activity is designed to support your child’s development across all areas: social, emotional, physical, and cognitive.
If you have a child heading into their final years before school, our government-funded kindergarten program (aligned with your state’s curriculum) offers a strong focus on school readiness. Think early literacy and numeracy, routines, problem-solving, and self-help skills.
Nourishing meals prepared by on-site chefs
Good food fuels growing minds. That’s why every Green Leaves Early Learning Centre has an on-site chef who prepares fresh, seasonal, nutritious meals and snacks each day.
We serve a variety of child-friendly meals that are healthy, balanced, and delicious. Children are encouraged to try new flavours, explore different textures, and build positive relationships with food. You’ll often see our little learners helping out in the kitchen garden or getting involved in food education activities as part of our Inside Out Program.
We work with you, every step of the way
We know how important it is to feel connected to your child’s world, especially in those early years. That’s why we keep you in the loop with regular updates, photos, and learning stories through Storypark, our secure family app.
Have a question about your child’s day? Need help settling in? We’re here to help. Our Educators are always happy to chat and work closely with families to create a consistent, supportive experience because we believe that great childcare is a true partnership.
