About Little Lane Early Learning Centre - Glen Iris

Welcome to Little Lane Early Learning – Glen Iris!

At Little Lane, we believe in creating more than just a childcare centre. We’re crafting a magical early learning oasis that’s designed to inspire and delight your little ones, right here in Glen Iris. Our new, multi-level centre is almost ready, and we can’t wait to welcome you and your family to our dream space!

Our centre stands out from the ordinary, breaking away from the traditional single-storey childcare centre model. Instead, we’re embracing the unique potential of our corner site with a striking multi-storey design. Our highly articulated façade, with its layered screens and lush greenery, not only enhances the visual appeal but also provides a natural acoustic and privacy buffer for our occupants.

We’ve designed every aspect of our centre with your child’s development in mind. The sinuous, flowing architecture eliminates hard edges, promoting a seamless and engaging experience. A central void, open to the north, ensures that natural light and fresh air permeate every classroom, creating a bright and comfortable environment. The spiral ramp around this void serves as both an access route and a dynamic play structure, offering children exciting vertical play opportunities.

Our design philosophy ensures that our outdoor space feels like a continuous, unified area, encouraging exploration and play in a cohesive environment.

Ready to give your child a head start in a space that makes their heart sing? Enrol now and be part of our early learning community!

For more information or to enquire about enrolments, please use our online form or reach out to us via email or phone. We’re here to help and look forward to hearing from you!

Dear Parents,
My name is Kristie, I am the Centre Manager of Little Lane – Glen Iris. I have 9 years working experience in the childcare sector and have worked with all age groups in early learning.
I began my journey as a kindergarten co-educator before sequentially moving into room leader, educational leader and assistant director positions in the ELC space.
I was a regional manager for Outside School Hour Care (OSHC) prior to joining Little Lane. Within the role, I oversaw 21 education and care locations in the South- East and Gippsland Regions.
I believe parents are children’s first educators and as early childhood professionals, we are here to foster strong partnerships with families to support each child’s growth and development following their individual interest and needs. I am passionate in creating positive impact in our next generation of children through guidance and on-going mentoring of our educators to implement high quality educational learning experiences for children.
I have always valued the importance of family support, and how this fosters a strong sense of belonging for a child where, in turn they will feel safe and secure. For this reason, I strive to create and set-up with our team of educators, a home away from home within our service.
I truly look forward to meeting everyone and showing you our incredible service.

-Kristie Crichton.

In just a few months with my little one at LL ELC we've been happy with the exceptional care and practices at this centre. The staff are always helpful , attentive and interested in all the children that attend there, as well as parents. The activities that children are vast , interesting , imclusive and lots of fun ! The educators always go above and beyond , keep families well informed about anything related to the care of our children and the upkeep of the faciltiy itself.Its a beautifully clean and modern centre and its obvious to see that my little one absolutely enjoys his days there with live updates and daily snapshots of his activities for his day. The in house Chef is popular with kids and parents and the food is healthy , varied and cooked in a very clean and well presented kitchen . The best choice I made for my child's early learning and it continues to get better. Thank you LL staff for all you do , it doesn't go unnoticed and is much appreciated.
