Cranbourne North Early Learning Centre

At our Cranbourne North centre, we provide high-quality early education and care in a nurturing and welcoming environment.

We’re located next door to Tulliallan Primary School, a 10-minute drive from Cranbourne Station and the M1 Princess Freeway. We're also a short walk from nearby bus stops.

Our centre has dedicated spaces for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) as well as music and language programs. We have large outdoor spaces and a vegetable garden for children to explore and learn about sustainability.

As a community-focused, not-for-profit centre, we love getting to know all our families and pride ourselves on the relationships we develop. We know that by working together, we can help your child thrive.

Nalissa Caddy

I'm passionate about providing high quality education and care. We welcome all families of all cultures and backgrounds and support everyone in our community to access quality care and education for their children.

As a parent of young children, I know the importance of building that initial connection with your early learning centre. It's also important to form a positive connection with the team who will be supporting your child's development.

Having worked in early childhood education for 15 years, I create a warm and welcoming environment so that families connect with our centre and feel confident leaving their children in our care.

Our team of educators can speak a range of languages as well as English. These include Fijian, Hindi and Punjabi.

With over 12 years of experience in the early childhood education and care sector, I have had the privilege of working with children across all age groups and witnessing the incredible growth and development that occurs in the early years. I am passionate about creating environments where children feel safe, secure, nurtured and genuinely valued -providing them with the confidence to explore, learn and thrive at their own pace.

As Educational Leader, I am committed to supporting educators to create meaningful learning experiences that celebrate each child's individuality and potential. I believe that high-quality education begins with strong relationships, responsive teaching practices and a commitment to continuous improvement that places children's wellbeing at the centre of everything we do.

Building trusting and respectful relationships with children and families is at the heart of my philosophy. I value the opportunity to work alongside families, recognising that they are a child's first and most important teachers. By fostering strong partnerships, I strive to create a sense of belonging and connection for every child and family within our service.

As a mother of three young children myself, I understand the importance of entrusting your child to educators who genuinely care. My own parenting journey has deepened my appreciation for the unique needs of each child and family and continues to inspire my commitment to creating warm, nurturing environments where children feel loved, supported and empowered to reach their full potential.

Our programs qualify for the Federal Government's Child Care Subsidy (CCS).
