About Us

Our Story

At Learningland 4 Kids (LL4K), we’re passionate about learning and supporting children and families every step of the way. Since our start at the Glen Iris Uniting Church Community Centre more than a decade ago, our trusted reputation has been built on one simple commitment: always putting children, their wellbeing, and their learning first.

Our owner and director, Shanley Antcliffe, now leads our teaching from our dedicated learning centre in Ashburton, with warmth, expertise, and genuine care. A highly qualified educator with a Master’s in Primary Teaching from the University of Sydney, Shanley brings deep knowledge of how children learn—and what they need to thrive. She is a certified Sounds-Write, linguistic phonics practitioner and is additionally trained in BrainGym and Multisensory Maths approaches.

Our warm, personalised approach ensures every child feels supported, capable, and inspired to learn. We strongly value parent partnership across all our programs and services, providing regular feedback and practical strategies to support learning at home.

As we look ahead to another year, we are excited to continue our impactful work at our dedicated learning centre in Ashburton, Melbourne, supporting children to grow, flourish, and succeed.

Thank you for supporting our passion for teaching!

Our Approach

Across our school readiness and primary school education services, our intentional, teacher-led approach provides children with best-practice learning experiences that support long-term success at school.

Our evidence-based, curriculum-aligned programs are designed to develop strong academic foundations while also building positive learning behaviours, confidence and motivation. Children are supported to grow not only in what they know, but in how they learn.
