Brighton Grammar ELC, (Peter Toms Early Learning Centre) 27 Grosvenor Street, Brighton, Victoria 3186

Welcome to Brighton Grammar ELC, also known as Peter Toms Early Learning Centre, located at 27 Grosvenor Street in Brighton, Australia. As an establishment and point of interest, our institution is dedicated to providing a high-quality education for preschool boys.

At Brighton Grammar ELC, we understand the challenges of getting little boys to talk about their day. That's why we provide visual and written updates to parents, ensuring they are informed about the milestones reached, topics explored, and activities enjoyed by their sons.

Our ELC offers a range of programs that not only cater to the learning needs of preschool boys but also provide convenient care before and after the preschool day. From our term-time kinder program to a 48-week long-day service that includes both kinder and childcare, we have options to suit every family's needs. Additionally, our extended hours of care now qualify for government Child Care Rebates.

When you ask parents what they love most about our ELC, 9 out of 10 will tell you it's our exceptional staff. Our team is imaginative, energetic, passionate, patient, and caring. With a strong track record of having the same dedicated team in place for several years, we truly get to know each little boy and his individual learning needs and personality traits.

Designed with extra-large classrooms and playgrounds, our ELC provides ample space for our physical learning programs. We believe in stimulating brain activity through movement, hands-on experiences, and active learning. In addition to our on-site facilities, our boys also get to enjoy special activities in other areas of the school, such as sports ovals, halls, libraries, and specialist learning spaces.

Throughout the week, in addition to regular classroom activities, your son will also participate in specialist classes of music, physical education, art, and library. Being an integral part of the bigger school, our ELC boys have the opportunity to engage in a variety of other special activities. Each boy is paired with a "buddy" from either Year 5 or 6, with whom they share a weekly session of work and play.

Excursions within the school grounds allow our boys to explore the science lab, meet the Headmaster and older students, witness theatrical rehearsals, enjoy music concerts, and familiarize themselves with the school environment. On special occasions, such as our annual ELC 'Footy Day,' boys from the 1st Football team visit the ELC to coach and interact with the little boys, providing a unique and valuable experience.

We understand that boys thrive when provided with rules and boundaries, as it gives them a sense of security. Our daily routine in the ELC helps each boy anticipate what comes next, whether it's outdoor play, lunchtime, or rest time. This structure enables them to prepare their behavior appropriately.

In our ELC, you will be amazed at how independent your little boy becomes. We believe in learning through play, but that doesn't mean the boys simply do whatever they want or are left to play outside without guidance. Our dedicated staff plans structured play activities both indoors and outdoors, creating opportunities for fun while also fostering social skills and emotional expression.

Play encourages boys to think creatively, find solutions to problems, and learn conflict resolution, building their confidence. Through long periods of uninterrupted play, boys develop concentration and take responsibility for their own learning.

Brighton Grammar is a leading private boys' school in Melbourne, with a deep understanding of boys from ELC to VCE. We also acknowledge and honor the connection to Country of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, paying respect to their Traditional Custodians and Elders past, present, and emerging.
