Dear Families, Welcome to Elimatta Early Learning & Kindergarten, and thank you for considering us as part of your child's learning journey.

Our purpose-built centre is nestled in the leafy surrounds of Narre Warren North — a place where children feel safe, inspired and connected to nature. Elimatta is an Aboriginal word meaning “our home,” reflecting our commitment to creating a nurturing and inclusive environment where every child feels a strong sense of belonging.

The name "Elimatta" holds deep significance, rooted in the rich cultural heritage of Australia's First Nations people. In Aboriginal language, "Elimatta" means "our home," symbolizing a place of belonging, safety, and nurturing — a perfect representation of the environment we strive to create for children and families at Elimatta Early Learning & Kindergarten. This name reflects our commitment to inclusivity, respect, and connection with the land and its traditional custodians.By choosing "Elimatta," we honour the enduring wisdom and spirit of Aboriginal culture, fostering a sense of community where every child feels at home and valued for who they are. Elimatta, "our home" is more than a name — it’s a promise to provide a nurturing space where young minds can explore, learn, and grow in harmony with the world around them.

At Elimatta, our educational program is guided by play-based learning and the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework. Our caring educators support each child's unique journey, encouraging curiosity, independence and a lifelong love of learning through meaningful and engaging experiences.

As a family-run centre, we value warm, personalised care and strong partnerships with families. Together, we create a foundation that supports children to flourish socially, emotionally and intellectually.

We proudly deliver a government-approved Free Kinder program for children aged three and four, ensuring every child has access to high-quality early education during these important early years.

By valuing collaborative partnerships with families and committing to excellence in education and care, we aim to nurture confident, compassionate, and capable young individuals who are ready to thrive in their community and beyond. We warmly invite you to join us in this partnership between families and educators in shaping your child’s early experiences.
