At Footsteps Early Learning, we believe that childhood is about so much more than learning and growing. It’s about feeling safe, being loved, building friendships, discovering the world and having a place where you truly belong.

We are a proudly independent, family-owned early learning community, offering a warm, nurturing and personalised approach to early childhood education and care.

Our boutique 28-place Long Day Care centre in Beverly Hills welcomes children from birth to five years, providing an intimate environment where every child is known, every family is valued, and meaningful relationships are at the heart of everything we do.

We believe that the best beginnings happen when children feel safe, secure, supported and connected to the people around them.

And that’s exactly what we strive to create at Footsteps, every single day.

Small by Design. Big on Connection.

There is something truly special about being part of a smaller early learning community.

With just 28 places, Footsteps offers families a more personal experience, where children are recognised as individuals, educators have the opportunity to build genuine connections, and families are welcomed as valued partners in their child’s early learning journey.

We take the time to get to know each child – their personality, interests, strengths, routines and the little things that make them unique.

Our long-standing, dedicated educators understand the importance of familiar faces, consistent care and the security that comes from being surrounded by people who genuinely know and care about you.

At Footsteps, your child is never just another enrolment. They are part of our Footsteps family.

Child Safety Is at the Heart of Everything We Do

We believe every child has the right to feel safe, respected, heard and protected.

Child safety is not simply a policy or a procedure at Footsteps. It is a commitment that guides our decisions, our relationships, our environments and our everyday practices.

We work to create a culture where children feel confident to express themselves, where their voices are valued, and where their wellbeing always comes first.

Our commitment extends beyond physical safety to include children’s emotional security, sense of belonging, dignity and right to be treated with kindness and respect.

We believe that when children feel safe and supported, they develop the confidence to explore, take appropriate risks, form meaningful relationships and embrace new learning opportunities.

Because before children can truly thrive, they need to feel safe, connected and valued.

Learning Through Play, Discovery and Wonder

We believe children are capable, curious and naturally motivated to learn.

Our educational approach is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework and built around meaningful, play-based experiences that encourage children to explore their interests, develop independence and discover the joy of learning.

Through creative expression, imaginative play, music, movement, early literacy and numeracy, nature-based experiences and hands-on discovery, children are supported to develop the skills, confidence and resilience they need for life.

Our beautiful natural outdoor environment provides opportunities for exploration, adventure, connection with nature and active play.

We celebrate the individuality of every child, recognising that learning is not a race and that each child’s journey is unique.

Our role is to nurture their curiosity, celebrate their achievements and support them as they take each new step.

A Partnership with Families

We know that choosing an early learning centre is one of the most important decisions a family makes.

You are trusting us with the people who matter most to you, and that is a responsibility we never take lightly.

We believe families are a child’s first and most important teachers, and the strongest outcomes are achieved when educators and families work together.

At Footsteps, we value open communication, honesty, trust and genuine partnerships. We want families to feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, asking questions and being actively involved in their child’s learning journey.

From the first morning goodbye to celebrating those important milestones, we are here to support not just your child, but your whole family.

Growing with Your Family – Footsteps OOSH

Our commitment to children and families doesn’t end when they begin primary school.

Located just two doors from our Early Learning Centre, Footsteps Outside School Hours Care (OOSH) provides a familiar, welcoming environment for school-aged children through our before and after school care and vacation care programs.

For families, this creates a wonderful opportunity to remain connected to the Footsteps community as their children grow.

Whether children are taking their very first steps into early learning or navigating the exciting years of primary school, our focus remains the same: safe environments, meaningful relationships, engaging experiences and a genuine sense of belonging.

A Centre Built on Experience, Passion and Purpose

Footsteps was founded on a simple belief: that every child deserves to experience early childhood in an environment where they feel safe, nurtured, respected and inspired.

As a family-owned service operating for over 18 years, our philosophy is shaped by extensive experience in early childhood education, child safety and leadership, together with a genuine understanding of the trust families place in educators.

We are proud of the community we have built, the relationships we have formed and the privilege of being part of so many children’s earliest memories.

While the world of early childhood education continues to evolve, our commitment remains unchanged: to provide high-quality, personalised care where children are supported to flourish and families feel they truly belong.

Come and Experience the Footsteps Difference

We know that choosing the right early learning centre is about more than beautiful spaces or educational programs.

It’s about finding somewhere that feels right.

Somewhere your child is greeted with a smile, where educators know their name, where friendships grow, and where you can walk away each morning feeling confident that your child is safe, happy and cared for.

We would love to welcome you to Footsteps, show you around our beautiful little centre and introduce you to the people who make our community so special.
