About Great Beginnings Gymea

We are conveniently located for families in or commuting through Gymea, Miranda, Kirrawee, Sylvania, Caringbah and Kareela.

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.

    I cannot express enough how wonderful Great Beginnings in Gymea has been for my children. From the moment we started at the centre, we felt welcomed and at ease. The staff are incredibly caring, professional, and attentive to each students individual needs. The facilities are clean, safe, and well-equipped with engaging activities that promote learning and growth. I love how they incorporate play-based learning, which has helped my child develop social skills and a love for learning. Communication is clear, timely and excellent! I receive regular updates about my children’s progress and daily activities, which gives me peace of mind while I'm at work. I highly recommend Great Beginnings in Gymea to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their little ones. Thank you to the entire team for your dedication and hard work!

    My son has been attending GB Gymea for close to two years now. Through our experience, I have found the GB Team to be incredibly caring, attentive and encouraging towards my son's needs. The whole team is very friendly and personal, and the centre has a lovely family feel, which means that my son feels comfortable and happy here. The team also keeps me regularly updated via an app on activities undertaken throughout the day as well as meals eaten. They are on top of health issues such as allergies and as a result, I feel confident that my child is looked after well in their care. We have also recently been invited to attend a parent teacher meeting where my son's development was discussed. We really appreciate all the efforts made by the GB Team to keep up informed about our child through their busy schedules. I am also very impressed by the speed of responses to my many questions to the centre.

    Such a supportive and welcoming environment for kids to learn and be celebrated for their uniqueness. The building is a gorgeous converted house with a cute outdoor play areas. The centre is small enough that you easily get to know all the educators and other families while being able to cater for the seperate age groups in the rooms.
