Childcare & Early Learning for Growing Families

Launchpad Early Learning Centre provides trusted childcare and early learning for families across Melbourne, including Lower Plenty and Greensborough.

Our purpose-built centres are designed as a home away from home, with light-filled learning environments and beautifully appointed play spaces where children feel comfortable, secure and ready to explore. Expansive natural outdoor areas give children room to play, discover, and connect with the world around them.

Our beautiful locations inspire our curriculum and our commitment to diversity, sustainability and community. At Launchpad our core values are Respect- for ourselves, each other and the world around us, Resilience-to recover from obstacles and spring back into shape and Readiness- educating the Whole Child so that they are well prepared for the challenges and chapters that lie ahead. We have passionate and motivated carers and educators who implement an Emergent Curriculum that is diverse and inspires our children to play, learn, grow, thrive and reach their personal best. As our rocket logo suggests, we want our little people to explore far and wide, reach for the stars and shine bright!

The educators create such a warm and supportive environment that my child comes home happy every day. The communication from the team is excellent, and we really appreciate the regular updates and photos. The management team is also supportive, approachable, and clearly committed to maintaining a high standard of care and education. We really value the open communication from both educators and management, and the genuine care shown toward each child. Highly recommend this centre and its amazing team to any parents looking for a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve been at Launchpad for over 3 years now and have had a great experience with the care and education of our children. The educators and staff are wonderful and our children have developed trusting relationships with many of them. The educators give us great feedback and updates (both verbally and via the Story Park app) about what our children have been doing and learning which is so greatly appreciated. The management team are friendly, approachable and always very prompt to respond to any queries that I’ve had. There is a lovely sense of community at Launchpad and there are many special events at the centre throughout the year which give families (and extended family members such as grandparents) the opportunity to be involved. Our children have developed great friendships and we have met many lovely families here. Above all, our children are both happy and safe at Launchpad which is what we value most.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've been coming here to this center for nearly 3 years. The educators and management team have been amazing! With an autistic child, the whole center have provided so much support for him to help him thrive. I can talk to them anytime whenever i have concerns I cannot thank them enough! What a fabulous centre! The program has been amazing, and the incursions they had last year were brilliant! Thank you launchpad for helping my child grow ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been part of the Launchpad family for 3 years and we couldn't be happier with the service provided and care given to our son. He is in his final year now and his progression with speech, interactive play and group activities has been nothing short of a miracle! He loves knowing its a "school day" and looks forward to being there. The sense of community and trust we have with the centre is second to none. The educators and management are so accommodating and always ready to have a chat and keep us informed of our little man's progression. We moved to Launchpad from another local centre 3 years ago and we haven't looked back. He even eats a wider variety of food now! Great centre, amazing people and a real family feel.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve been part of the Launchpad ELC family for around four years now, and we couldn’t be happier with the care our three daughters receive! From the very first day, the directors and staff have been wonderful - always kind, professional, and attentive to our children's needs. The communication in general and through the app is seamless, making it easy to stay updated throughout the day! Very grateful and lucky to have found such a great childcare centre that our girls love attending and highly recommend it to other families!
