Birches ELC Frankston South is a family owned childcare centre and kindergarten. Our new early learning centre is surrounded by abundant and natural play spaces that offer a truly organic learning environment. 

Birches provides both care and education within a long day care setting and caters for the littlest of enrolees in the Nursery through to the 4 Year Old Kindergarten group who develop their school readiness skills under the supportive wing of our Early Childhood Teacher.

Our Philosophy

Birches has a commitment to “raising the bar” in early education and we work tirelessly to deliver exceptional quality care and education for every child, every day. Our educational philosophies are under-pinned by the widely respected Reggio Emilia approach to learning which supports enquiry and play-based learning experiences in natural and responsive environments. Our learning programs are designed to be emergent in nature and, through reflective practices, are guided by the children’s interests and needs.

Qualified, Experienced and Dedicated Staff

At Birches we believe our team of Early Childhood educators are our most valuable assets and we could not achieve our goals or honour our philosophies without their knowledge, support and hard work. Our team understand the responsibility that comes with the role of an educator and are committed to ensuring that every child not only enjoys their time with us, but has been exposed to every available developmental and learning opportunity.

Our team approach ensures the individual and collective needs of the children are met in a harmonious and friendly environment with familiarity and continuality.
