First Grammar Bendigo 53 Sharon Street, Flora Hill, Victoria 3550

Welcome to First Grammar Bendigo, a leading early education and child care centre located in the heart of Flora Hill, Sharon Street. Our centre is a point of interest and an establishment that provides a nurturing and stimulating environment for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years.

At First Grammar Bendigo, we believe that the first steps to learning are crucial for your child's development. That's why we offer a comprehensive long day care and early education program that is perfect for families living or commuting through Flora Hill or nearby suburbs such as Spring Gully, Kennington, and Quarry Hill.

From the moment you step through our doors, you will be immersed in a world where children are encouraged to learn and explore. Our spacious outdoor play areas feature a large yard and play equipment, providing children with ample opportunities to learn through play. We believe that outdoor play supports children's overall health and wellbeing, allowing them to develop strength, balance, and self-confidence.

Inside our centre, your child will have access to quality resources and learning experiences that foster exploration and creativity. Our experienced educators plan play-based learning experiences around children's interests and learning goals, embedding literacy and numeracy concepts in purposeful play spaces. Your child will engage as architects, storytellers, scientists, artists, and designers as they develop essential skills for their future.

To make your life easier, we provide nutritious meals made daily by our in-house cook, catering for all dietary requirements. Shared mealtimes between children and educators strengthen relationships and provide opportunities to model healthy eating practices. You won't have to worry about preparing lunch or snacks for your little one.

Our centre offers an active and exciting kindergarten program with qualified Early Childhood Teachers, ensuring that your child is well-prepared for school. We also offer extended hours and meals to fit in with your busy schedule. For an additional fee, your child can participate in engaging specialised programs, including a sport and music and movement program.

We believe in the importance of community involvement, which is why we regularly venture out into the local Bendigo community on excursions to nearby parks, shops, and schools. We also welcome special guests and community members to the centre based on the children's interests. Our centre celebrates regular cultural events, reflecting the diversity in our local community.

As members of the First Grammar community, we are committed to providing high-quality education and care for your child during their formative years. Our Family Support Team is always available to chat through your child care needs and answer any questions you may have.

Testimonials from parents who have experienced the First Grammar Bendigo difference:

- "A brilliant experience for our children, and us as parents, during our years at First Grammar Bendigo. Staff and management were always warm, welcoming and accommodating, as well as demonstrating a wealth of knowledge in early childhood education. We loved the 'one big family' feel of the centre, and the shared outdoor play environment was a huge asset. Highly recommend!"

- "We arrived in Bendigo in early September and were so fortunate to chance upon First Grammar. Their attention to detail and outstanding staff are hard to find these days. All of their care and passion was amply demonstrated in the Kindergarten Graduation last week. An unforgettable experience and our deepest thanks to all for Kim's fantastic time with you."

- "Outstanding centre with brilliant staff. I've had both my children attend over several years. They loved it and I felt completely at ease having the staff take care of the kids. They genuinely care about the children and are so incredibly supportive. I cannot rate these guys high enough!"
