Chelsea Beach is proudly part of the Sanctuary of Early Learning family – a privately owned and operated early learning group dedicated to creating exceptional environments where children, families and educators feel a true sense of belonging.
Our story began in 2010 with the opening of Mt Eliza House, founded on a vision of providing high-quality early childhood education that nurtures each child’s individuality through meaningful relationships, play-based learning and inspiring environments. As our community has grown, so too has our family, welcoming Seaford House in 2021, Frankston Beach in 2024, Dromana Beach in 2025, Mt Eliza House Academy in 2026, and now Chelsea Beach.
As a family-owned organisation, every decision we make is guided by genuine care, strong values and a commitment to providing the very best for children and families. While each Sanctuary service has its own unique identity, they are united by a shared philosophy of creating beautiful learning environments where children feel safe, confident and inspired to explore.
Chelsea Beach embraces the beauty of its coastal surroundings, bringing together thoughtfully designed nature-inspired spaces, meaningful learning experiences and a passionate team of educators who believe childhood should be filled with wonder, connection and discovery. We are proud to continue the Sanctuary of Early Learning story, creating a place where every child is known, every family is valued and every day is an opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
Our Environments
Each room is purpose-designed for its age group – a considered haven that honours where your child is right now, and grows with them.

Highly recommend to others families.Posted on Google Hope MansourTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been very happy with both the kinder program and the childcare. Both our children felt comfortable and safe in the environment. The programs offered in conjunction to actual childcare is great- incursions for sport and music group, and then in kindergarten they get to go in the bus to see their Grandfriends at the aged care facility- which is both beneficial for the children and the Grandfriends. Our daughter also loved the outdoor excursions at the Briars and the beach throughout kindergarten. While there are times over the last 3-years where we had some criticisms of how something was managed, these were ALWAYS heard and the response was always beyond satisfactory. We are only human after all. They still receive 5-stars from me. (Also, the food- they feed them better than I do!)Posted on Google Amy InceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a beautiful Service.

We’ve been at the centre now for almost 6 years with my 2 boys. The space has a great feel with excellent educators and great indoor/ outdoor spaces for the children to play and learn in.
