What an incredible Early Learning Centre! I cannot rate Little Grasshoppers Main Street highly enough. The enrolment process was friendly & easy, the centre manager is lovely & so quick to respond to queries, and the staff are fantastic. I’ve felt so reassured with their care & confidence in looking after my children and they provide a personal touch to each family that is hard to come by these days. There are daily updates on the activities of my children and beautiful books, artworks, and creations sent home regularly. Best of all, my children absolutely love being there. I am so happy with this centre and would recommend it to anyone.

Presenting a fabulous location at the top end of Main Street in Mornington, with easy access and safe parking on-site.
Our purpose built 73 placement childcare centre is open to children from 6 weeks to 5 years of age and offers babies, toddlers and kinder rooms with a generous dining room and library facility.

Centre Manager Nikki Dempster has been with Little Grasshoppers for over 20 years, leading with experience, warmth and a deep understanding of early learning. Her approach blends knowledge with fun, playful experiences that help children feel confident, happy and ready to thrive

With separate and substantial outdoor areas for each age group, Main St boasts an exciting new outdoor play space incorporating chicken coop, herb garden and much to the delight of the children on a hot day, a water play area. In line with all our centres, a full-time cook is employed on-site to serve 4 nutritious meals daily with a cooked breakfast, lunch and morning and afternoon tea baked daily. Fruit and vegetable plates are a part of everyday snacks and all meals of course meet national dietary requirements.

Our Funded Kindergarten program led by Qualified teachers, follows all areas of the Early Years Learning Framework and includes visual and performing arts, sustainability practices and cultural appreciation. We are also delighted to include both Community Explore and Intergenerational Programs for our Kinder groups, not to mention some super friendly chickens to befriend.

Our kids have been attending grasshoppers throughout the last 3 years and we couldn’t speak more highly of the Main St centre and their wonderful staff. Nikki and the team are engaging, caring and go above and beyond to make the children’s experiences positive, fun and safe. One of the (many) things we love is that staff turnover is low so genuine longterm caring relationship are built between staff and children, just like at a school. My kids have loved all their educators and teachers. The grasshoppers Kinder programs are thoughtfully planned with enriching content and children take part in lots of local excursions and termly projects. Centre communication is excellent and community engagement is wonderful, with many events put on throughout the year. It really is one big family. Couldn’t recommend it more if I tried.

We couldn’t be happier with this daycare. Both of my kids attend and the care, communication, and consistency have been fantastic. The educators are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children’s wellbeing and development. The centre is extremely well run organised, clean, and always calm and welcoming. My kids are excited to go each day and come home happy, confident, and full of stories. A truly wonderful service that gives parents real peace of mind. Highly recommend!
