Great Beginnings Lyndhurst
Spacious areas designed to inspire
From the moment your child enters our Lyndhurst child care centre, they will be immersed in a world where children are encouraged to learn and explore. Our spacious outdoor environments feature a large yard, sandpits, and water play area to engage all the senses. Our center offers individual yards for our nursery, toddler rooms and a large community yard for three to five-year-old children. Children are provided time and space for uninterrupted play as they explore the outdoors to test their limits and develop strength, balance, and self-confidence. Being outside supports children’s overall health and wellbeing.
Our indoor spaces invite exploration with quality resources and learning experiences. Children wonder, create, and test out their ideas as they play with a range of materials in purposeful play spaces. Our experienced educators plan play-based learning experiences around children’s interests and learning goals.
Healthy meals freshly prepared in-house
You don't need to worry about packing lunches or snacks. We provide healthy, freshly made meals created daily by our in-house chef, catering for all dietary requirements. Shared mealtimes between children and educators strengthen relationships, with opportunities to share stories and experiences, and model healthy eating practices.
High-quality early learning programs
No two days are ever the same at our Lyndhurst child care centre. Your child will have access to a rotating schedule of engaging specialised programs, including music and movement, story, and sport program.
Educators and children explore our local community with excursions out on our bus or walking out into the community. Our bus offers our three to five-year-old experiences such as visiting Cranbourne Botanical Gardens, our local aged-care homes for musical sessions and any experiences based on the children interests each year. Our Lyndhurst centre engages regularly with our community through visits to the local lake, park, football oval, Woolworths, local shops, and our local school Lyndhurst Primary School.
We also welcome special guests and community members to the centre based on the children's interests. Such as our responsible pet ownership program, dental hygiene clinic bus and our professional photography week yearly. Neighbourhood connections support a sense of community and belonging for children and provide opportunities to develop social and observational skills with different people, places, and environments.
As members of our Great Beginnings community, we look forward to partnering with you to provide information, support, and high-quality education and care in your child’s formative years.
