At The Green Elephant, we believe children thrive in environments where they feel safe, valued, and deeply connected. A nurturing approach grounded in care, trust, and respect for each child’s journey. We see early childhood as a time of wonder and possibility.

Through play-based learning, we support children to explore, imagine, and grow at their own pace. Every child is unique, and we honour their individuality with thoughtful, responsive care. Our educators build strong, authentic relationships with children and families, learning alongside them and supporting not only academic growth but emotional wellbeing.

We partner with families to create a sense of belonging that extends beyond our centre walls — a community where everyone feels heard and supported. Each day at The Green Elephant is filled with joyful moments, quiet reflection, and meaningful connection. This is how we help children flourish — gently, intentionally, and with heart.

This is The Green Elephant Way.

I searched for a long time to find the right childcare for my daughter and I honestly cannot praise the team at The Green Elephant enough! People that genuinely care. Thank you!

A LOVE OF LEARNING
At The Green Elephant, we believe a well-rounded education extends beyond literacy and numeracy—it’s about nurturing the whole child. We focus on building strong cognitive skills, emotional intelligence, and a deep sense of connection to self and others.

Every moment is a learning opportunity, and our thoughtfully designed curriculum embraces this by weaving movement, music, languages, yoga, and fitness into each day. These enriching experiences are woven into our routines and are integral to how we support children’s physical confidence, emotional resilience, and creative expression.

Through play, mindful routines, and meaningful relationships, children develop the confidence, curiosity, and self-awareness they need to thrive—not only as successful learners, but as kind, capable members of their community.

At The Green Elephant, we’re laying the foundation for a lifelong love of learning—one joyful, connected moment at a time.

5 PILLARS OF LEARNING
A well-rounded and balanced approach to child development is essential for their well-being, learning, and growth. To help children thrive in all aspects of life, we focus on nurturing their overall development during the crucial early years, laying a strong foundation for future success.

Guided by the principles of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), we recognise that each child is unique and capable. That’s why our approach fosters individuality through play-based exploration, investigation, and inquiry tailored to each child’s learning style.

Our Five Pillars curriculum is thoughtfully designed to support their specific developmental needs across five key areas of brain development:
Social and Emotional | Creative | Communication | Cognitive | Physical

Our educators at The Green Elephant are passionate professionals who form the heart of our learning community. We nurture their growth through dedicated mentorship and continuous development opportunities, ensuring they thrive along their career journey. What sets us apart is our deep-rooted belief that inspired educators create magical learning environments where young minds flourish.

At The Green Elephant, we believe that healthy eating habits developed in early childhood have the power to shape a lifetime of wellbeing. That’s why we are committed to providing nutritious, balanced meals in line with the Australian childcare nutrition guidelines—ensuring every child receives the nourishment they need to grow, learn, and thrive.

Our qualified Nutritionist and dedicated chefs work together to create balanced, seasonal menus packed with fresh, wholesome ingredients. Every dish is made with care to support healthy growth, boost brain development, and make mealtimes fun and engaging.

We encourage children to be curious about food—exploring its colours, textures, and origins. We believe food is a wonderful way to learn, connect, and celebrate. From hearty breakfasts to satisfying late snacks, every bite is designed to provide the energy and nutrients growing minds and bodies need.
