Welcome to Gillys ELC
Welcome to Gillys Early Learning Centre, where our home becomes your home.
With a warm and welcoming environment for children aged 6 months to 3 years, our dedicated team of educators provide a nurturing and secure space where your child can learn, grow, and thrive within a Jewish environment in the heart of East St Kilda
Learning
Our program is closely guided by the National Quality Frameworks (NQF) and is based on our core values of having high expectations of children. We believe they can succeed to become respectful citizens, developing enquiring minds and having a healthy self-identity
Community
We pride ourselves on having strong partnerships with our families and local community. Children thrive when they have strong connections to the local community, fostering social connections, cultural awareness, and a sense of belonging

What our parents are saying
“After 2 children and 4 years at Gillys, we are so sad to be completing our final year here. There aren’t enough adjectives to describe the staff- warm, friendly, loving and so caring. We can not recommend this centre enough!”
“We cannot thank the wonderful team at Gilly’s enough for the amazing care and love you have shown our daughter over the last two years. Watching her blossom and grow under your guidance has been beautiful to witness.”
“There is no feeling more comforting as a parent than the ability to walk away knowing that your child is in the best hands and care possible. Thank you for such an incredibly warm and generous experience”
