About Little Grasshoppers Early Learning Centre - Mornington Main St
Welcome to Main St Childcare Centre, where every child's journey begins with a flourish! Nestled at the prestigious top end of Mornington's bustling Main Street, our centre offers unparalleled convenience with easy access and on-site parking, ensuring a stress-free drop-off and pick-up experience for busy parents.
Step into our purpose-built haven designed to cater to the developmental needs of children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. With 73 placements available, we pride ourselves on providing a nurturing environment that fosters growth and exploration. Our vibrant facility features dedicated rooms for bubs, toddlers, and kinder, each equipped with state-of-the-art amenities including a spacious dining area and a captivating library.
But what truly sets us apart is our expansive outdoor oasis. Here, children embark on adventures amidst separate and sizable play areas tailored to their age groups. From the joyous clucking of chickens in our charming coop to the aromatic delights of our herb garden, every corner is a treasure trove of discovery. And when the sun beats down, there's no better place to cool off than our exhilarating water play area, sparking giggles and laughter in equal measure.
At Main St, we understand the importance of nourishing growing minds and bodies. That's why our dedicated on-site cook crafts four delectable meals daily, from hearty breakfasts to wholesome lunches, ensuring every child receives the fuel they need to thrive. Snack times are equally nutritious, with fresh fruit and vegetable plates making regular appearances, all meticulously curated to meet national dietary standards.
Our commitment to excellence extends beyond mere childcare; it's about laying the groundwork for a lifetime of learning. Led by qualified teachers, our Funded Kindergarten program embraces the Early Years Learning Framework, enriching young minds through a diverse curriculum that encompasses everything from visual and performing arts to sustainability practices and cultural appreciation. But the learning doesn't stop there. Through our innovative Community Explore and Intergenerational Programs, children forge connections beyond the classroom, fostering empathy, understanding, and a sense of belonging.
And let's not forget our feathered friends! Our Kinder groups are delighted to interact with our friendly chickens, fostering a love for nature and responsibility as they care for their new companions.
At Main St Childcare Centre, we're not just shaping futures; we're creating magical moments that will be treasured for a lifetime. Join us on this extraordinary journey, where every day is an adventure waiting to unfold.

I was very hesitant sending my little son to daycare for the first time at 10months old. Luckily, the girls at Little Grasshoppers on Main Street put my mind at ease. I would often sneak in early to see my boy playing, eating or getting cuddles! Highly recommend this daycare for fussy mums ๐
Response from the owneralmost 2 years agoThank you Tiffany for your review and for entrusting your little boy with us. Your peace of mind is, we hope, reflective of the importance we place on familial relationships and the experience of our dedicated team.

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.
