Nestled in the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges and adjoining Sherbrooke Forest, Mayfield Tecoma offers an idyllic natural setting, delivering exceptional quality care and education for children aged six weeks to six years and includes a fully accredited kindergarten program.
Our dedicated team of educators deliver play-based learning programs that foster a love of learning in a safe and welcoming environment. Our programs are designed to be emergent in nature and are guided by the children’s interests.
Along with our purpose built facilities that have been thoughtfully designed to create positive and enriched learning experiences, we provide healthy and nutritious meals every day and our talented cook can cater for any dietary requirement.
Our Nursery room is for children 6 weeks to 12 months. It is a beautiful room providing children with many different opportunities. Our team prioritise building secure attachments with each child, fostering a sense of trust and emotional security. Activities often focus on sensory exploration, fine and gross motor development and social interaction.
Our Toddler room is a space that is not based on age but on stage of development. The children build independence through programs based on their interests, creativity, engagement with friends and more established routines.
Our Pre-Kinder room is a 2-3 room, where they focus on self- help skills, independence and communication with those around them. We begin building on literacy & numeracy skills, embedding their skills & knowledge into every day interactions and preparing the children for their kinder journey.
With the support of our Bachelor-qualified Early Childhood Teacher, we offer a funded Three-Year-Old Kindergarten Program. Our teacher designs a rich and engaging program tailored to each child's individual needs, fostering their social, emotional, language, cognitive, and physical development.
Our centre aligns its programs with the early years of schooling, with a strong focus on preparing children for a smooth transition to primary school. We emphasise literacy and numeracy skills, nurture critical thinking, promote social development, and encourage independence and self-regulation.
All inclusions are subject to availability and are provided at the discretion of the centre director.

We are so happy at Tecoma ELC. It takes a Villiage and we really have a Villiage at Tecoma ELC. Educators love with all their hearts and the love extends to the children and families as well. My older son’s educators have educated, loved and cared for him for 4 years and now the same wonderful educators are caring and educating for my baby and still the level of love and care has not faltered. Absolute quality!

Wonderful people who care about your child(ren). Oh yeah, the facilities are great too (new, clean, spacious...) Tecoma always keeps us informed and their communication is second to none. There are daily reports, emails and newsletters. And photos! Photos of the kids smiling, playing and having fun. This place is a gem; my partner and I couldn't be happier! And neither could our kids (which is the most important thing!) Not only are the staff extremely professional, they are these wonderful group of caring, loving and kind people. Keep up the good work!
