About Us

At Bayside Early Learning Centre and Kindergarten Mentone & Mentone East, we are committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive, and homely environment where children and families feel a strong sense of belonging. We warmly welcome prospective families to visit our centre at any time and experience our community-focused approach firsthand.

We are dedicated to delivering a high standard of early childhood education and care, in accordance with the National Quality Standard (NQS) and guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). Our educational approach recognises each child as a capable, confident learner and values their individuality, curiosity, and unique developmental journey.

We see children as natural explorers—curious about themselves, others, and the world around them. Through respectful relationships and meaningful learning experiences, we support children to grow socially, emotionally, and intellectually.

We believe that open, honest, and positive communication is essential in creating a harmonious environment and fostering strong partnerships between children, families, educators, and management. At our centre, families are valued just as highly as the children in our care.

We proudly offer quality early learning and childcare services to families in Mentone, Parkdale, Beaumaris, Cheltenham, Moorabbin, and surrounding communities.
