Welcome to Great Beginnings Ellenbrook

We are conveniently located for families in or commuting through Ellenbrook, Aveley, The Vines and Brabham. Many of our Children go on to attend local schools such as Ellen Stirling Primary school, supporting a smooth transition to school.

We offer nurturing care and quality early education for children from 6 weeks to 6 years, with flexible hours (9, 10, 11, and 12-hour sessions) to suit busy families.

Our Learning Environments

Our children benefit from familiar faces as they grow, creating a sense of continuity:

Nursery (0-2 years): A safe, nurturing environment for babies to explore with tailored sensory and social experiences.
Toddler (2-3 years): Play-based learning encourages curiosity, confidence, and social skills.
Kindergarten (3-6 years): A stimulating learning environment that prepares our children for school through our Enhanced Learning Program.

We’re proud to have qualified teachers and educators, supported by a team of national education experts, ensuring the highest quality childcare and early education.

Innovative Early Learning Programs

Our teachers deliver the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF or the national curriculum) through play-based learning that covers language, literacy, numeracy, STEM, social, and emotional development. Our program also includes:

Rhythm and Movement for Self-Regulation (RAMSR), an evidence-based program developed by Queensland University of Technology to support children’s executive function and self-regulation.
Environmental and social sustainability learning experiences.
Personalised learning plans for each child.
Local school connections.

We focus on strong family partnerships through regular learning and development conversations with your child’s lead educator, learning showcases, and in-centre family events. Our Xplor app provides real-time updates and learning summaries daily to keep you informed on your child’s journey.

About the Curriculum

“Let the child be the scriptwriter, director and the actor in their own play” - Magda Gerber

Nursery Space: 6 weeks – 2 years

Learning starts from before birth, and our Educators have created a welcoming and nurturing nursery environment where each baby feels safe to explore and discover new things - through their senses, their communication and cues (body language, facial expression and sounds) and through experimentation. On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of play including sensory play, music time, story time and more. Every day provides a brand new, exciting adventure for our babies to support their development, learning and wellbeing.

Toddler Space: 2 - 3 years

Our teachers and educators encourage the children to learn through play to help enhance their sensory-motor development. This happens through carefully planned music, dance, games, role playing and reading experiences.

On any given day the Toddlers can be seen developing their numeracy by building a tower, sorting objects, pointing and identifying shapes and patterns and participating in counting songs and games.

Children in our toddler space are encouraged to participate in group play. Group play is important as it helps our toddlers develop important social skills such as, turn-taking, developing self-confidence and emotional self-regulation. Our skilled team helps children through talking, planning and role modelling.

Kindergarten Space: 3 – 6 years

Kindergarten is a unique time for learning with peers and developing skills for later learning including confidence and curiosity, important skills for starting school. Our play-based program has school readiness at its core, encouraging active engagement in learning and supporting a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity.

The oral language supports literacy learning and a child’s oral language ability is the best predictor for later success in learning to read and write. Hearing the sounds within a language is the first critical step for all literacy learning. Our team supports our Kindergarten children's literacy development by engaging in rich discussions, reading, storytelling, dramatic play and experimentation all of which introduce new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations.

Throughout the Kindergarten year, children use their language to share ideas, ask questions, express themselves, and connect with peers and adults in social settings.

Social-emotional skills, including the ability to self-regulate emotions, are supported through group learning experiences. Our team supports each child’s social and emotional development by labelling and talking about emotions and supporting appropriate responses as together, they engage in new and challenging situations. Our goal in the Kindergarten year is to prepare children and families for a smooth transition to primary school.

Meet the team

Hi my name is Carly, and I am the Centre Manager here at Great Beginnings Ellenbrook. My early learning journey started in 2004. I joined the team at Great Beginnings Ellenbrook in January 2023. I hold an Advanced Diploma Children's Service, a Cert 4 in Training and Assessing, and a Diploma in Business Management.

I chose to work in early childhood education to follow my passion to teach and inspire children to be the best they can be. I love working with Families, children and educators every day to make a difference.

The first five years is critical for children's learning and development. Early education provides extensive benefits to children’s resilience, social and emotional development. Through play, interactions, trusted relationships and quality programs, Early Education can provide children with the best opportunity for growth and development. I strive every day to provide a safe and secure environment for all children. I believe that embracing the uniqueness of every child and providing an inclusive care environment are important for children to feel they belong.

We have a culturally diverse team with several multilingual educators to support families and children. Our team provides a friendly atmosphere with caring and nurturing educators. Our educators are trained professionals with many years of experience in Early Childhood.

To understand each child’s needs, we strive to build strong relationships with families through communication and interactions. We have an open-door policy for families to visit when needed. Families are encouraged to attend events, celebrations, and shared experiences throughout the year. We provide daily updates through our Xplor app for families to stay connected whilst their child is in care. We encourage families to give feedback to continually improve outcomes for children.

I look forward to welcoming your family to Great Beginnings Ellenbrook.
