At The Rockhampton Grammar School Early Learning Centre the children are our focal point. Individual learning stories are developed based on your child’s interests and needs. These stories create your child’s learning journey. Our staff are fully qualified, friendly, experienced, caring, dedicated and committed to developing partnerships with families.
An advantage of starting at RGS Early Learning Centre is that your child can start their educational journey at The Rockhampton Grammar School forming friendships from the start of their educational journey and finish their education with the same friends, should they be accepted into the School program. Regardless if children continue at RGS or not they will take these social skills with them.
The Centre is located just near the RGS campus at 3 Reservoir Street, just a short walk across the road from the main school campus.
To confirm a place on our waiting list you will need to attend one of our monthly Information Sessions which are held on the last Friday of each month, from February to November, commencing at 9.30am at the Centre. Please call our Centre Director to register.
