About Great Beginnings Southern River

We are conveniently located for families in or commuting through Southern River, Ambia Estate, Huntingdale and Gosnells. 

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.
  • Kindergarten (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.

  • Joanna Kingiabout 2 years ago

    Best daycare! My girls (2yrs + 4yrs) love it and both adore all of the educators, not to mention how comfortable the place feels and how welcoming all the staff are on the daily! Appreciate this daycare so much for taking the best care of my babies. Also breakfast being served to them as soon as we arrive? Love that so much! As I start work early so have needed to drop them off at 6:30am every morning knowing they get breakfast upon arriving takes so much off me. Thank you Great Beginnings!
