Building a strong community
Helping your child connect, in the centre and outside
Community Connections
At The Green Elephant, we know that meaningful connections extend beyond our centre walls. Building strong partnerships with our local community enriches each child’s learning journey and fosters a deeper sense of belonging.
By engaging with local services, schools, and organisations, we create real-world opportunities for children to explore, connect, and contribute. These partnerships not only support children’s development but also strengthen the relationships between families, educators, and the wider community. When children see the world around them as a network of caring, collaborative people, they grow with confidence, empathy, and a sense of place.
Building Community Connections
At The Green Elephant, we believe meaningful relationships extend beyond our centre walls. Strong partnerships with our local community enrich each child’s learning journey and foster a deep sense of belonging.
Partnerships with Local Schools and Services
By engaging with schools, services, and community organisations, we create real-world opportunities for children to explore, connect, and contribute. These experiences help children see themselves as part of something bigger.
Families and Educators United
Our partnerships strengthen the relationships between families, educators, and the wider community. This collaborative network nurtures children’s growth while supporting families to feel connected and valued.
Growing Confidence and Empathy
When children experience community connections, they learn that the world around them is filled with caring, collaborative people. This builds confidence, empathy, and a strong sense of place.
Kindness Without Borders
At The Green Elephant, kindness doesn’t stop at our doors. We extend it globally through our sponsorship of orphaned elephants with the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust—supporting their rescue, care, and return to the wild.
Teaching Global Citizenship
These connections help children understand responsibility, empathy, and conservation—values that build the foundation for responsible, caring citizens of the future.
Connections That Help Children Thrive

We’re not tied to one builder. Instead, we use our decades of experience to choose reliable, trustworthy builders and offer their packages to you. More builders means more choice for you.
There are so many play-based learning activities which develop imagination and self-expression. Exploring artistic activities like drawing, painting, music and make-believe, your child will develop their imagination, creativity and emotional expression. They’ll also enhance their cognition and problem-solving skills.
Language and communication skills are a must-have for self-expression, social connection, and improved cognition. We use storytelling, conversation, songs, and play to help your child expand their vocabulary, enhance their comprehension, express their thoughts and emotions more confidently.
Cognitive learning fosters problem-solving, creativity, and critical thinking through exploration. It helps children understand concepts like cause and effect, memory, and reasoning. It strengthens brain connections, nurturing intellectual growth and a lifelong curiosity.
The Green Elephant movement program fosters motor skills, coordination, balance and strength. We encourage your child to explore and expand their physical capability, from their first roll to confident running.
