Why families choose our centres
Learning through play
Our play-based programs and indoor and outdoor learning spaces are designed to capture children’s imagination and develop their physical, social and mental skills.
Nutritious chef-made meals
Our menu of fresh, nutritious meals will fuel your child’s growth and development. Meals can be tailored to your child’s dietary requirements.
Child safety
As a not-for-profit dedicated to child welfare, we have a rigorous safety framework and reporting culture. We apply a child-safe lens to recruitment and training. All staff complete annual training on child safety from the Department Education, plus internal training. See our Child Safety Commitment and Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy.

ECMS acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants of the nation and the traditional custodians of the lands on which we live, learn, work and play. Aboriginal people have a long tradition of teaching and learning through sharing their connections with country, community, language and culture. We recognise their continuing connection to the country, and we pay respects to elders past and present.
