Ascot Early Childhood

Welcome to Ascot Early Childhood, where children feel a true sense of belonging. For over twenty years, we have supported families in the Ascot and Hamilton communities, providing high-quality care and education in the warm environment of a beautifully maintained Queenslander home. Families often describe our centre as a second home, and we invite you to see what makes it so special. Our centre is designed to feel welcoming rather than institutional. The light-filled Queenslander includes verandas and leafy gardens that encourage exploration. Every space, from quiet reading nooks to outdoor play areas, has been carefully created to inspire curiosity, creativity and joyful learning.

As a boutique 49-place service, we keep class sizes small so educators can build strong connections with every child. Our Toddler room (15 months–2.5 years) is nurturing and focused on independence, language and social skills. The Pre-Kindy room (2.5–3.5 years) is dynamic and encourages investigation, problem-solving and friendships. Our government-approved Kindergarten program (4–5 years) is led by three educators, providing an exceptionally high ratio and preparing children holistically for school.

Our philosophy is based on a “living curriculum” that grows from children’s ideas and interests. Educators listen and document play to co-construct meaningful experiences, guided by the EYLF V2.0 and QKLG. We emphasise independence, early literacy and numeracy, critical thinking, wellbeing and a love of learning. Our educators are the heart of Ascot Early Childhood. With low turnover and many long-standing staff, families value the stability this provides. All hold recognised qualifications and current first aid, but above all, they are chosen for their warmth, professionalism and genuine ability to make every child feel safe, known and valued.
