Hilton Early Learning Program

Join the family at Meerilinga Hilton and give your child a great start with the small classes of our quality Early Learning Program, designed to assist with pre-school readiness and socialisation. At Hilton, our play environments include a huge nature-based outdoor area alongside large undercover and indoor spaces that are designed to help your child play with purpose.
As the site of our newest Early Learning Program, make sure to ask our friendly staff about our free trial day! Find us on the edge of the Hilton Community Centre, opposite Mumma Bee Café and next to Hilton Primary School.

Hilton's Totem: Wonnil
The Wonnil represents resiliency, and its leaves, twigs and sap are traditionally used in ceremonies and for healing. This totem was designed in consultation with local Elders and the forms part of Meerilinga’s journey towards reconciliation. Thank you to Whadjuk Artist Ms Julianne Wade for creating the artwork.
Playgroups
No child is too young for a Meerilinga Playgroup! All children from birth to five years love new experiences and can benefit from developing sensory, social and communication skills through our playgroup activities.
Even better, Meerilinga Playgroups are designed to involve and connect parents and families, with caregivers attending alongside their children and retaining responsibility for their wellbeing during each session.
Contact your nearest Centre to ask about the weekly Playgroups that run during the School Term or view Hilton’s Term schedule below.
