Early Learning Centre

Start the journey early to excellence in education.  

The Early Learning Centre (ELC) is Mulgrave’s pre-kindergarten school for children ages 3 to 4 years.  We offer a full-day programme, as well as half-day morning and afternoon sessions. 

At the ELC our teachers introduce the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) to preschoolers. The PYP focuses on the curiosity and development of the whole child.

Children have their own style and pace of learning, which is why the programme encourages differentiated instructional strategies. Inquiry based lessons are complemented by Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches to education.

At the ELC, children are encouraged to actively explore their worlds, develop language and critical thinking skills, and apply their ideas in meaningful ways. Tucked away from the bustle of the main campus, the ELC has access to all of Mulgrave’s facilities and rich learning resources.  

We look forward to welcoming you for a tour.

      Warm regards,

One Saturday morning when Sophia found out that she was not going to school because it was the weekend she said, "Mommy do you love me?” and I replied,

“Yes, sweetie I love you very much.”  

Then Sophia went on,"But mommy do you really, really love me?"

"Of course I love you.” I replied …and then Sophia continued,

"So, if you really, really, really love me, will you take me to school today?"

We are very happy that Sophia is enjoying the ELC programme. We couldn't be happier with the choice of the school we made for our daughter. What Parents are saying about the ELC
