Wesley Early Learning St Kilda Road Campus
‘The Hutch’, as the St Kilda Road Early Childhood Learning Centre is affectionately known, caters to our 3- and 4-year-old learners with multiple spaces for play and learning. Classes take place in the modern, light-filled Hutch and children familiarise themselves with the Junior School library, art and music studios ahead of Prep. There’s plenty of time each day for physical activity and exploration and an extensive outdoor space offering covered and sunny areas, custom-built play structures, multi-sensory landscaping, and natural elements for Hutch and Prep children.
Come and see the facilities and opportunities for yourself.
