Our History

Emmikins Early Learning Centre has been a cherished part of the Mitcham community for over 25 years, and for the past 13 years, it has flourished under the loving guidance of its current management. The centre is proudly owned and operated by Beth Lele, a registered nurse and devoted mother.


Inspired by her own journey into motherhood, Beth made the heartfelt decision to transition from nursing into early childhood education. Her goal was simple but powerful: to offer other families the same nurturing, high-quality care and learning experiences she wished for her own child.


At Emmikins, we are proudly child-safe, child-aware, and wholeheartedly child-centred. Every decision we make is guided by one clear principle: what is in the best interest of the child. We believe in creating a secure, nurturing environment where children feel seen, heard, and supported to grow and explore at their own pace.



Over the years, Emmikins has grown into a warm, inclusive, and welcoming space where families from all walks of life feel at home. We deeply value long-term relationships with our children, their families, our dedicated educators, and the wider community. These meaningful connections are at the heart of everything we do, helping us build a strong, supportive environment where every child can truly thrive.


At Emmikins, children are not only cared for they are truly cherished..
