Welcome to Glen Education 

Announcing a change to our identity:  Welcome to Glen Education 

As you would know, we have been working with our community for the past year, to develop a new name and brand to better reflect who we are and who we will continue to become into the future. Today, we are excited to share with you our new name:  Glen Education

We began operations in 2012, after a group of four parents, all on their kindergarten’s Committee of Management, came together (initially in 2011), in pursuit of a better way to manage and sustain quality early years services. Originating in the City of Glen Eira, the Glen Eira Kindergarten Association was formed. 

Since then, our scope has evolved beyond Glen Eira, to manage an expanded number of kindergartens, in Monash, Kingston and Bayside, and to deliver the provision of holiday care, parent education, inclusion and education support and the delivery of professional development. 

What’s new and why

Our Name: Glen Education

Our new name honours the legacy of our historical roots in Glen Eira. The word ‘education’ aptly reflects all that we do. We educate children, families, our people and the wider community, using our knowledge, wisdom, and expertise. 

Our Logo:  The plant in our logo is the Bulbine Lily, which is an Indigenous plant, native to Glen Eira.  The logo also pays respect to the place where our historical roots were established. 

Our Tag Line - Growing People:  We are an organisation that helps people to be the best they can be; to build strong foundations, they can reach their full potential. This includes not only the children we educate, but their families. We also have a genuine commitment to growing our staff, and invest a significant amount each year, in professional development, to benefit the growth of our people.

Our Values: Respect, Authenticity, Integrity, Community, Celebration, Excellence. 

This is an exciting time in the organisation’s history, and we are grateful for the community support we continue to receive, in building a brand that everyone can be proud to represent.
