The newly refurbished and extended Early Learning Centre is situated adjacent to the Senior School campus.  The ELC consists of five flexible learning spaces or classrooms. The number of children in each room is limited to eighteen.

Each room incorporates a studio space and has an adjoining outdoor area allowing teachers to implement an indoor and outdoor learning program.

The resources in the Centre’s studios, rooms and outdoor spaces are designed to support and promote each child’s love of learning, offering endless possibilities for creativity, imagination and representation.

Each group of children has a full time Early Childhood teacher, a full-time Early Childhood qualified assistant teacher and a part-time assistant.

Our everyday learning program integrates music, movement, dance, drama and the visual arts.  Specialist teachers in Italian, drama, music and physical education conduct workshops for the children at the ELC each week.  The School's proximity to the Botanical Gardens allows the children to explore this amazing natural resource and discover a whole new world.

The children use the resources of the wider Melbourne Girls Grammar environment as well.  They visit the gymnasium, the library, the science laboratories, the Chapel and the playing fields.

Our Daily Diary captures the essence of a child’s day for parents and is a wonderful record of how the children pose questions and solve problems.

There are no uniform requirements at the ELC; however, girls may wear a school uniform if they wish.  We request that children wear suitable footwear for climbing and playing.  Hats are compulsory for outdoor play in the first and last terms of each year.
