Our Difference
At Greythorn Early Childhood Centre, we are a vibrant, community based non-profit service that is guided by a passionate parent management committee. We offer enriching 3 year old and 4 year old funded Kindergarten programs, along with flexible Long Day Care and Occasional Care services. With six thoughtfully designed classrooms, we cater to 91 children from 6 weeks to 6 years.
With a history of serving the local community since 1997, GreythornECC is situated in one of Melbourne’s highly sought-after areas in the Eastern Suburb of Balwyn North. Our purpose-built centre provides safe, stimulating spaces where children are supported to grow, explore, in a warm, nurturing environment. Every child is given the best opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential. This is where your child’s love of learning begins!
