Make Your Move!

Green Leaves Early Learning Mawson Cascades is a two-storey early learning centre with an eco-conscious design, offering care for children from 6 weeks to school age.

As you enter our beautiful centre, you’ll find our state-of-the-art Chef’s kitchen and parent lounge, which are adjacent to two beautiful learning hubs that open out onto sensory gardens. The four remaining learning hubs, including a kindergarten room, are on the first level and feature their own outdoor play space filled with modern sustainable resources such as the very popular bike track, large timber play fort, worm farm and edible flower and vegetable gardens.

The parent lounge, an innovative space, has been introduced to help create a strong sense of community, providing educators and families with the opportunity to come together in a beautiful environment and network while enjoying a barista coffee and a freshly baked treat.
