In the heart of our journey lies a timeless truth:
It takes a village to raise a child.
Welcome to Grace Village Early Learning, where this age-old wisdom isn’t just a philosophy; it’s the heartbeat of our purpose.
Our story began with a profound belief in the power of community. We envisioned more than just an early learning centre; we envisioned a village – a close-knit community that embraces the collective responsibility of nurturing the young minds of tomorrow.
In crafting Grace Village, we drew inspiration from the traditional village concept, where every member plays a vital role. Parents, educators, and community members unite, each contributing unique insights and skills. This concept is woven into the very fabric of our pedagogy, creating a nurturing environment where little villagers flourish.

About Grace Village EL
At Grace Village Early Learning, we take pride in being privately operated by local owners. We are qualified educators, teachers and parents deeply rooted in the understanding that it truly takes a village to raise a child. As young families ourselves, we hold a profound appreciation for the pivotal role of early learning in shaping the future of our children.
Our commitment is to provide each child with the optimal opportunity to grow and learn within an early learning environment that is not only unique in design but also deeply rooted in the philosophy of our village concept. At Grace Village, we believe that a community approach enhances the early learning experience, contributing to the holistic development of each child.
The Grace Village team comprises respected and trusted early learning experts who remain at the forefront of thinking, research, and innovation in the field. Our team, including early childhood teachers, educators, and advisors, has played a pivotal role in shaping the pedagogy, curriculum, and specialised programs for our infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
We go beyond conventional early learning by offering specialised educational programs that utilise outdoor spaces, complemented by exceptional nutritional advice. This approach ensures that we envelop the ‘whole child’ in our care, fostering not only intellectual growth but also physical well-being and social development.
We consider it a privilege to nurture and guide your children through their foundational early learning journey, witnessing their growth and development at every step. Our dedication spans many years, during which we meticulously created and curated every detail of Grace Village.
