At Little Grasshoppers Mornington Parwan Crescent, everything we do is built on trust, safety, communication and integrity. Families can feel confident knowing their child is supported in a safe, caring and nurturing environment where each day is thoughtfully planned and personally guided. We have been established on the Peninsula for over 35 years and centre manager Jodi Gray has worked for Little Grasshoppers for over 13 years

Located in a quiet residential pocket of Mornington, our Parwan Crescent centre offers a calm and welcoming setting for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. Designed to feel warm, familiar and secure, the centre provides dedicated learning spaces that support children through every stage of early development.

Our Parent Promise is simple: confident parents and thriving children.

We provide consistent, reliable care that allows families to confidently go about their day, supported by calm transitions and predictable routines that help children feel safe and settled. Learning through play is embedded in everyday experiences, with educators tailoring learning to each child’s interests, development and personality while building genuine relationships with families.

Children enjoy spacious outdoor environments that encourage exploration, creativity and connection with nature. Outdoor play supports confidence, independence and social development through age-appropriate experiences designed for discovery and movement.

Healthy meals are freshly prepared onsite each day by our dedicated cook, ensuring children receive nutritious seasonal food that supports growth, wellbeing and energy for learning.

Our funded Kindergarten program, led by qualified teachers and guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, prepares children for school through play-based learning, creativity, social confidence and community connection.

At Parwan Crescent, we create a calm, supportive environment where children feel secure, families feel connected and strong foundations for lifelong learning begin.
