A sanctuary for learning, development and growth

FiRST believes that all children are unique and valuable members of our society.

Every child is a capable learner, active in their own discovery and journey to foster and enhance their education and development.

FiRST educators are nurturing, dedicated, and experienced.

They create environments for every child that promote and encourage a love of learning, sense of security, wellbeing, and diversity.

Educators at FiRST Early Learning thrive on the empowerment of children and early education. They create a safe haven for every child.

The team takes pride and has a respectful understanding that families entrust educators with their children on a daily basis.

It is with this acknowledgement that the FiRST team provides a home away from home and nurturing environment that fulfills every child’s safety, security, and wellbeing.

FiRST’s early learning centres across Melbourne, including in Pakenham, are carefully designed, created, and inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach and philosophy.

This sits alongside the vision and core values developed by its managing directors, educators, children, and families to deliver an all-inclusive sanctuary for children aged six weeks to five years.
