About Blinky's Corner Child Care Centre

We are conveniently located for families in or commuting through East Lismore or nearby suburbs Goonellabah, Lismore, Lismore Heights and Caniaba. 

Many of our Children go on to attend local schools such as Wyrallah Road and St Carthages, supporting a smooth transition to school.

We offer nurturing care and quality early education for children from 6 weeks to 6 years, with flexible hours (9, 10, 11, and 12-hour sessions) to suit busy families.

Our Learning Environments

Our children benefit from familiar faces as they grow, creating a sense of continuity:

  • Nursery (0-2 years): A safe, nurturing environment for babies to explore with tailored sensory and social experiences.
  • Toddler (2-3 years): Play-based learning encourages curiosity, confidence, and social skills.
  • Preschool (3-6 years): A stimulating learning environment that prepares our children for school through our Enhanced Learning Program.

We’re proud to have qualified teachers and educators, supported by a team of national education experts, ensuring the highest quality childcare and early education.

Innovative Early Learning Programs

Our teachers deliver the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF or the national curriculum) through play-based learning that covers language, literacy, numeracy, STEM, social, and emotional development. Our program also includes:

  • Rhythm and Movement for Self-Regulation (RAMSR), an evidence-based program developed by Queensland University of Technology to support children’s executive function and self-regulation.
  • Environmental and social sustainability learning experiences.
  • Personalised learning plans for each child.
  • Local school connections.

We focus on strong family partnerships through regular learning and development conversations with your child’s lead educator, learning showcases, and in-centre family events. Our Xplor app provides real-time updates and learning summaries daily to keep you informed on your child’s journey.

Lauren Damenabout 1 month ago

We honestly couldn’t love this daycare more! Our family has been part of the centre for over 4 years now, and it’s been such a big part of our lives. The staff are absolutely amazing, they care so much about the kids and go above and beyond every day. We’ve even formed lovely friendships with many of them over the years, which really says a lot about the kind of people they are. The kids have thrived here, hitting all their milestones and coming home happy and excited about what they’ve learned. It’s also such a bonus that all the meals are provided healthy food and no lunchbox stress. It also gives my picky eaters opportunities to try new foods while watching all their friends eat the same as them. We’re so grateful for everything the team does. It really feels like a second family to us.
