Terra Early Learning - Balwyn

Guided by the Latin meaning of "Terra" as "earth," our philosophy is centred on strong foundation for growth, where every child can flourish into their fullest potential. As a family-owned childcare centre, we value connection, community and trust, and are deeply committed to creating an environment where children feel safe, encouraged and supported in every aspect of their growth.

We recognise the early years as a time of curiosity, creativity, and wonder, and our approach is designed to nurture these qualities, while introducing structured learning opportunities that build essential skills and confidence. Through carefully planned experiences and activities, we support each child’s individual growth and lay the groundwork for lifelong learning. With an emphasis on quality and integrity, we are devoted to creating a space where children feel safe, loved, and empowered to thrive as confident, inquisitive learners. We are privileged to partner with families in shaping the future, one child at a time.

Our aim is to be the best small to medium sized centre in our vicinity. Our differentiating factors are:

We have developed a hybrid curriculum incorporating elements of play based learning approach, and structured based learning principles from Montessori.

Childcare director we have appointed has over 10 years’ experience at a director level including several years within a Montessori childcare

Offer genuine support to busy parent: free dinners for children, onsite dental checkups and haircuts, freshly baked goods for parents in the morning and work with parents to identify 3 areas of development for their child.

We have prioritised natural greenery and trees instead of saving costs on low maintenance outdoor spaces. Our center is truly a green oasis away from the busy roads and streets.
