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!

New Kindergarten and Childcare in Mount Eliza

Are you a Mornington Peninsula parent looking to place your child in an early learning centre? Our Little Grasshoppers kindergarten and childcare in Mount Eliza may be just what you are looking for. We will open this centre in Spring.

Trust Our Experience

Our 30 + years of experience matter! There is nothing like having a building planned by the people who provide loving care every day. After all, they know best where building designs have made it harder to do the job well in the past.

This experience enabled us to design and construct the leading early learning centre on the Mornington Peninsula. We are proud of our work and confident that your children will thrive in our Mount Eliza Kindergarten and childcare centre.

Sending my 2 yr old to daycare for the first time was a big step for us, and I was quite nervous at the start. However, it has been such a wonderful experience from day one.

From the very beginning, he has walked straight into the centre loving it, which instantly put my mind at ease. The play areas are absolutely incredible and so thoughtfully set up, giving the children so many opportunities to explore, learn and have fun.

The staff have all been so amazing kind, patient and genuinely caring and they made the transition incredibly easy, not just for my toddler but for me as well. Seeing how happy and settled he is has been so reassuring.

We couldn’t recommend Little Grasshoppers highly enough.

We were so excited to start at Little Grasshoppers when it opened and we have been over the moon with the centre since that very first week. The staff are an absolute highlight for us, every touch point has exceeded expectations. They are so lovely to our whole family when we walk in each morning and always welcome us with a smile.
They take the time to get to know each child and have a few great tricks to help with a difficult drop off. We love that they move the children through the different (beautiful!) spaces during the day, whether it be to the dining room for lunch, or a different room/yard to play. We feel so lucky that after experiencing many different daycares and kinders through the years and various suburbs, that we’ve landed this one for our third child. Thanks guys!

Our son attends Little Grasshoppers Mount Eliza, and we absolutely love it. The facilities are beautiful and fun, and the educators are amazing. Our son normally takes some time to warm up to new people, but he now puts his arms out for the educators at drop off, which is a testimony to how much he loves going there. We are incredibly happy with Little Grasshoppers Mount Eliza and couldn't recommend it highly enough.
