Childcare and kindergarten in Langwarrin, VIC
First Grammar Langwarrin offers long day care and kindergarten for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years, conveniently located for families in Langwarrin, Skye and Cranbourne South.
Small, close-knit centre with familiar educators
Our smaller centre has a warm, community feel where educators know children and families across the service. Our culturally diverse team includes qualified Early Childhood Teachers and educators with experience across play-based learning, inclusion and children’s emotional wellbeing.
Bush Kinder, natural yards and community walks
Children in 3 and 4-year-old Kindergarten take part in Bush Kinder, exploring local natural environments and trying supported risks outdoors. Younger children enjoy regular pram walks, and the centre yards include sandpits, gardens, cubby houses, climbing forts and natural materials.
Four rooms shaped by children’s interests
Each of our four rooms is arranged around children’s age, interests and development. Children can explore sensory and messy play, creative arts, construction, dramatic play, early literacy and STEM, with calm spaces available when they need quieter time.
Kindergarten with school connections
Our Government-approved Kindergarten builds independence, communication, early literacy and numeracy, and practical school skills such as managing belongings and lunchboxes. Our centre works with Woodlands, Langwarrin Park and Langwarrin primary schools, and 4-year-old Kinder also includes age-appropriate digital literacy.
Individual learning and inclusion support
Educators use observations, family input and each child’s interests to shape Individual Learning Plans. When extra help is needed, the team can work with Kindergarten Inclusion Support, Preschool Field Officers, speech therapists and occupational therapists.
Weekly sports and community visitors
Kelly Sports visits every week for active games and movement experiences. Children also welcome visitors such as Victoria Police and the CFA, and connect with neighbouring early learning centres through a pen pal program.
Fresh meals by our in-house chef
Our in-house chef prepares breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a late snack each day. Allergies, intolerances, cultural requirements and individual preferences are catered for, and children also take part in hands-on cooking experiences.
Family communication and flexible care
Families receive photos, observations and learning updates through the app, alongside everyday conversations with educators. Family ideas and cultural traditions are welcomed into the program, with casual bookings, additional days and school holiday care available subject to availability.

Frequently asked questions
A centre tour is a convenient way to experience the childcare centre of your choice and meet with our qualified educators at a time that is suitable for your family’s schedule. Click here to book a tour online.
On the day of the tour, you can observe practices and interactions within the centre environment. You’ll be able to see all the rooms and playgrounds, ask the team members any questions you have in mind, and get all the information you need to make the best decision for your child.
Enrolling is simple, and our Family Support Team will guide you through each step.
First, find your local centre and book a tour so you can meet the team and explore the learning environment. If the centre is the right fit and a place is available, you’ll receive an enrolment offer for your child. If a place is not currently available in your child’s age group, we can add your child to the waitlist and keep you updated.
To finalise your enrolment, you’ll complete an online enrolment form through a secure link sent by our Family Support Team. You’ll also need to provide key details and documents, including your child’s birth certificate, Medicare details, immunisation history statement and, if eligible, your Child Care Subsidy details.
Before your child’s first day, you may be invited to attend a Stay and Play session. This gives your child time to explore the centre, meet their educators, and start feeling comfortable in their new environment. Once your paperwork is complete, your child is ready to start their early learning journey with us.
Starting child care is a big milestone, and a little preparation can help your child feel more comfortable and confident.
Before your child’s first day, you can talk positively about their new centre, explain what their day might look like, and practise small routines such as packing their bag, saying goodbye, washing hands and sitting down for meals. You may also like to visit the centre with your child, meet their educators and ask our team about what to bring on the first day.
When your child starts, our educators will take the time to get to know your child’s routine, interests, comfort items and individual needs. Settling in looks different for every child, so we work closely with families to help children feel safe, supported and ready to learn.
Most of our child care and early education centres offer nappies and wipes, sunscreen and hats, as well as nutritious meals prepared by our in-house cook. Some centres also provide sheets and formula, so you may not need to remember to pack them.
For nursery children, be sure to bring: nappy rash cream, dummies, bottles and teats, comfort toys or blankets, three spare outfits and spare socks.
For toddlers and preschool or kindergarten-aged children, it’s best to bring: spare underwear, water bottle or sippy cup, sun hat, closed-toe shoes, two spare outfits and spare socks.
Plus, anything else your individual child may need, such as breast milk, a sleeping bag, a comforter or medication.
It’s best to speak to your centre of choice for a full list of everything included.
First Grammar uses Xplor Home as our family communication app. It is the best and easiest way to keep track of your child’s day.
After you enrol your child with the centre, you can utilise Xplor Home to book child care days, manage your account, receive the photographs that capture your child’s learning, learn about your child’s progress, as well as keep up-to-date with upcoming centre events and important information.
If your child shows signs of an infectious illness when they arrive at the centre or becomes sick during the day, you may be notified that you need to make alternative arrangements or pick up your child from the centre and keep them home until they are no longer infectious. While we understand that this can be inconvenient, First Grammar is committed to maintaining a healthy environment and reducing the risk of infection for all children.
Under the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), families are allowed 42 absence days per child, per financial year. These can be taken for any reason, including public holidays and when children are sick, without requiring families to provide documentation.
