Creative Hands Early Learning Centre proudly opened its first branch in Point Cook, Victoria, in March 2021, during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our journey began with a strong commitment to supporting essential workers’ families by providing high-quality care and education for their children. As a family-owned business, we take immense pride in fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment.
Our team of qualified educators bring passion and expertise to everything they do. Their dedication to creating nurturing, engaging, and enriching learning environments is driven by their genuine love for their roles and the children they care for. With a deep understanding of early childhood education, they inspire curiosity, foster creativity, and support each child’s unique learning journey with warmth and professionalism. Their enthusiasm and commitment are at the heart of what makes our service a special place for children to grow and thrive.
We understand that a child’s first five years are foundational to their lifelong development. We don’t leave learning to happenstance—instead, we create intentional, enriching experiences that support every child’s learning and development. By fostering meaningful relationships, we help children build a strong sense of identity, knowing that today’s young learners will grow up to be citizens of the world. Beyond exceptional care, we focus on nurturing social, emotional, and personal development, shaping them as responsible, compassionate individuals. Through play-based learning, mindfulness, nature play, and sustainability, we aim to positively impact each child’s journey and instill values that inspire them to make a difference in the world.
Reconciliation at Creative Hands ELC is an ongoing journey, embedded in our practices, policies, and learning environments. We are committed to creating a space where children, families, and educators feel connected to the history, culture, and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Through our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), we take deliberate and informed steps to ensure inclusivity, build cultural competence, and implement programs that reflect the significance of our shared history.
Creative Hands ELC recognizes that reconciliation is more than a goal—it is a responsibility. By embedding reconciliation into the heart of our service, we strive to nurture future generations who value and respect Australia’s First Nations peoples, and who will carry forward the principles of equity, inclusion, and unity. Together, we can walk the path of reconciliation, ensuring a brighter future for all Australians.
