Little Grasshoppers, one of the Mornington Peninsula’s most trusted early learning providers, is thrilled to announce the official opening of its brand-new, architecturally designed childcare centre at 1408 Nepean Highway, Mount Eliza, welcoming children and families from Monday, 13 October 2025.

A New Era of Early Learning in Mount Eliza

The new Mount Eliza centre represents the next generation of early learning — a thoughtfully designed space that combines purpose-built architecture, natural light, and outdoor adventure areas.
Catering to children from six weeks to school years, each classroom and play zone has been created to spark curiosity, confidence, and a deep connection to the natural world.
From open learning spaces filled with natural textures to imaginative outdoor areas featuring bike tracks, gardens, and sensory zones, the centre invites children to explore, play, and grow every day.

A Proud Legacy of Local Family Values

With over 30 years of experience in early childhood education, Little Grasshoppers remains proudly family-owned and locally operated.
The new Mount Eliza centre continues this legacy — offering quality education, nurturing care, and strong community values — supported by a team of highly qualified educators and a dedicated on-site cook who prepares fresh, nutritious meals daily.

A Message from Our Centre Director

Lauren Matthews, Centre Director at Little Grasshoppers Mount Eliza, shared her excitement about opening day:

“As a local and a parent myself, it’s an absolute joy to see this vision come to life for our community. Every detail of our new centre — from the open learning spaces to the outdoor bike tracks and sensory gardens — has been designed to give children the very best start in life. We can’t wait to welcome families through our doors and become part of their child’s journey.”

Enrolments are now open, with places limited to under 100 children per day to ensure a personal, family-focused experience. Families are encouraged to book a private tour to see the centre firsthand, meet the educators, and learn more about our unique approach to early learning.
