About Kool Kids Early Learning Centre - Mermaid Waters

We are conveniently located for families in or commuting through Mermaid Beach, Mermaid Waters and Burleigh Waters on the Gold Coast. 

Many of our Children go on to attend local schools such as Miami State School and Merrimac State High School, 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.
  • 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.

    We've been at Kool Kids for 15months now and have always loved the centre from the day we started. It is a great day care with educators who truely care and approachable. The educators are dedicated and attentive to the needs of my child. Activities and learning at the centre are well thought out to keep the children interested. We love that the centre has a large common yard amongst the children, so that all age appropriate kids can play together. My daughter loves going to Kool Kids and have much fun and always look forward to her recount of the day at night as the educators communicate with us through the app.

    Great daycare, both my kids (4&1) attend Kool Kids. The staff are so lovely and welcoming and it’s always clean and tidy.. both my kids love going each day and have made lots of friends. Very happy with the centre would definitely recommend!

    It’s my son’s second home. I feel blessed to have found them and see my child nurtured and cared. They took effort to include our culture and traditions as part of their curriculum and development that makes it even more special. Love seeing children learn and grow with such diversity. It’s such a warm and friendly environment to be around with the lovely educators, each of them have made personal connections to my child and us as a family. Love you guys 🫶🏼

    We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Kool Kids Mermaid Waters. We’ve tried a few centres across the Gold Coast, and KKMW is by far the best. Our first child went all the way through, and our second is currently there — every stage, from the babies' room through to the 4-year-old group, has been amazing. The educators are so caring, kind, and genuinely invested in the children. Staff turnover is noticeably low compared to other centres we've experienced, which really speaks to the great culture and management. It also means wonderful continuity for the kids, helping them feel settled and secure. We’re so grateful to have found a place where our children are so well cared for — we couldn’t recommend Kool Kids Mermaid Waters more highly!

    Hi Alesha, We’re thrilled to receive your 5-star rating! It’s wonderful to hear that our educators are so caring, kind, and genuinely invested in the children. Your kind words inspire us to continue providing exceptional care and education. Kind regards, The Kool Kids Team
