About First Steps Early Learning Journey
Welcome to First Steps Early Learning Journey
We are a family owned centre and unlike other childcare centres, which are owned by a corporation or investment firm, we’re not focused on profits. Our goal is to develop a relationship with each child and family and provide a personal touch to support each family.
We provide the children with fundamental skills for life through an urban farming approach. Each day the children tend to the vegetable garden, care for the rabbits, stick insects, turtles and give their food scraps to the chickens. The children often help make pizza dough or pesto pasta using basil from the garden.
We have an expansive outdoor yard with vegetable and herb gardens, water play, sandpits, boat and much more.
We have studios that cater for children from 6 weeks to school age, with a qualified kindergarten teacher for our 3 and 4 year old children.
We value children's learning and have a separate art studio & garden classroom, cooking classroom and family library to support literacy at home. We support children's wellbeing with little sports hero's every fortnight.

Moved our daughter to this centre following a poor experience at another centre. Night and day difference, caring educators with small class sizes, management is always readily available to answer questions. Our daughter settled in very quickly and has a great experience here

Lovely centre with incredible staff!! I send 2 children here and couldn’t be happier with the service. I have complete faith in the staff and their abilities and feel confident knowing my kids are being well cared for. The centre has beautiful rooms with lots of engaging activities conducted everyday. We love First Steps and highly recommend the centre 😊
