About the Business
The Green Elephant - Waterloo is a family-owned and operated early learning center located in the heart of Australia. As parents ourselves, we understand the importance of creating a safe and secure environment where children can feel at home. We take the trust you place in us when enrolling your child seriously, and are committed to providing the highest quality childcare and education possible.
Our purpose-built facility is designed to inspire learning and play for children aged 0-6 years. Each area has been tailored to meet the specific needs and development of each child, promoting constructive activity and purposeful exploration. Our indoor learning spaces encourage easy flow between activities, creating a sense of order, belonging, and opportunities for both independent and collaborative play.
Outside, our wonderful outdoor learning spaces provide children with opportunities to learn, explore, and develop a sense of belonging. We nurture a love of nature in children and encourage them to preserve and enhance the natural world around them. Our outdoor environment features trees, plants, edible gardens, sandpits, play areas, quiet spaces for reflection, slides, cubby houses, music elements, and water elements.
At The Green Elephant, we believe that creating healthy eating habits from a young age is essential for lifelong health and wellbeing. We provide wholesome, natural, and nutrient-rich meals that are both tasty and fun. We also educate children about where food comes from and why eating healthy makes us feel our best.
We are committed to protecting the environment and ensuring a sustainable future for our children. Sustainable practices are embedded in our daily routines and activities, teaching children about the importance of taking care of the earth.
Our nursery rooms provide a warm and comforting environment that feels like an extension of home. We strive to cater to the individual needs and routines of young children, creating a safe and nurturing space.
In our toddler rooms, we focus on supporting children in developing self-help skills and independence. We foster resilience and self-awareness in a harmonious and fun environment.
Our preschool program is designed for children aged 3-6 years and focuses on small group experiences that cater to different needs and interests. We aim to help preschoolers become independent learners through diverse and engaging hands-on experiences.
At The Green Elephant, we believe that early learning and childcare educators play a vital role in shaping the minds and lives of children. Building strong connections with our educators, families, and the community is at the heart of our approach.
When it comes to childhood education, the phrases 'childcare' and 'early learning center' are often used interchangeably. However, at The Green Elephant - Waterloo, we strive to go beyond traditional childcare by providing a nurturing and educational environment that sets the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.

Reviews
"Our family loves The Green Elephant! We liked the friendly welcoming staff, we love your teaching spaces & toys. I'm a big fan of outdoor play so the garden (and garden activities) are definitely a plus. We love the extra activities you organise (Wednesday dancing and Thursday soccer are the best!). It feels great to know my little one loves going to school and feels really comfortable with all her caregivers."
"The Green Elephant Waterloo is an amazing centre that our daughter has been attending since she was 9 months old. The staff are attentive to the needs of each child, and our daughter learns so much each week. We always get a great debrief on how her day has gone, and its evident that a lot of work goes into planning a varied program of activities for the children."
"The staff at TGE are amazing! The genuinely care for and love all the children. I am comfortable leaving both my kids with them because I know they will be well looked after and will feel loved and safe the whole time. The centre is always clean and immaculate. And there is so much space for the kids to play, they follow the children's interests and will go to great lengths to let them take the lead, while providing them with so many new and amazing experiences. I have been to many early childhood centres through my work and TGE Waterloo is one of the best I have ever seen. I honestly don't know how they have managed to uniformly hire such amazing stuff, but I am damn glad they have!"
"Our daughter has been attending this daycare since 2017. It is a wonderful centre with AMAZING staff, facilities, programs and food! Staff are accomodating, caring, patient, attentive, and thoughtful. Facilities are clean and staff create wonderful learning experiences. Programs are inclusive, educational and creative which addresses each child's interest and introduce them to new things. Food is made fresh on site each day. Their menu is healthy and amazing! My husband and I joke how our daughter eats better than we do during the times she is at daycare! They place the kids first and are very supportive of parents. I highly recommend this centre."
"My daughter has been attending The Green Elephant Daycare since March this year. She attends a few day each week and I can only say great things about the centre and the team at TGE. The teams attention to each child is amazing as they seem to treat each as their own. Since March my daughter has flourish with her development particularly noticeable with her social skills. I am not sure of the exact story behind the previous review however this is far from what my husband and I have experienced. It is a fact that kids pick up germs not only at daycare centres but in any environment and our daughter is no exception, at one stage having to miss daycare for a two week period. A a business owner myself it is common sense that it would be impossible not to charge parents when their children do not attend due to sickness, this would ultimately effect the overall quality of care provided to the other children."
