Our story
A legacy of Christian education
ECC Little Gems has grown from the heart of Emerald Christian College, sharing the same vision to provide families with a caring, Christ-centred learning community.
​
Emerald Christian College was founded on 5 February 2001 by Hopelands Church, inspired by a desire to offer quality Christian education for local families. What began with just 18 students in a single building has flourished into a vibrant Prep to Year 12 school — a place where faith and learning come together every day.
​
In 2015, ECC Little Gems Early Childhood Centre opened to nurture the youngest members of our community. From the very beginning, Little Gems was created to be a warm, welcoming space where children could grow in faith, belonging, and curiosity — laying the foundations for a lifelong love of learning.
​
Situated within the Emerald Christian College grounds, our centre continues the College’s legacy of education that honours God and values each child as His unique creation. We are proud to provide an early learning environment that feels like family — where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to shine in their God-given potential.
