Having recently moved to the Peninsula from the city, we were nervous about changing childcare and visited a few different centres but as soon as we met the Little Grasshoppers team and saw the facilities we loved it! Wonderful team of educators and staff and such a great environment for the kids. Recommend highly!

Launched in 2017, our Coolstores centre tailors to a contemporary style of learning in a rural country feel environment with activity modules, separate library, science, art and music facilities.

Children are encouraged to explore, create and build confidence through hands-on, play-based learning. We cater for up to 65 children aged 6 weeks to 5 years, offering a full Kindergarten program led by qualified teachers aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework.

Our experienced team supports every stage of your child’s development, from their very first days through to school readiness. Conveniently located just off Moorooduc Highway, our centre offers easy access with ample off-street parking, plus the added bonus of a nearby café for those busy mornings and afternoons

Our Coolstores main yard offers triple slides beneath a weeping willow, chook pens & rabbit hutches, sand pit and water play areas.
With a program offering cooking classes, music and movement, Bush kinder and early literacy & numeracy, your child will thrive with our experienced Coolstores team.
