Mount Coolum Day Care Centre

At Mt Coolum Early Learning, we believe childhood should be wild, free, and full of wonder. Our centre redefines early education by embracing the “WILD HOOD” where learning happens through adventure, exploration, and joy.

An Outdoor Paradise
Our extraordinary natural playground includes:
*A water park for splashing and cooling off
*Adventure play zones with scramble nets and climbing challenges
*Sand pits, creek beds, and large digging areas
*A sensory path and calming garden
*A mud kitchen for messy, creative discovery
*Purpose-built outdoor learning areas

We go beyond traditional play by balancing education, care, and fun. Children engage in hands-on programs that build life skills and resilience:
*Gardening and bush tucker planting
*Garden-to-table cooking experiences
*Worm farms and composting
*Water play and mud kitchen adventures

Our Philosophy
We believe children thrive when they:
*Explore nature at their own pace
*Take safe, age-appropriate risks
*Connect with all their senses outdoors
*Build confidence through real-world challenges

Through play-based learning, children develop independence, problem-solving skills, environmental awareness, social confidence, and school readiness all while enjoying the freedom to run, climb, dig, and discover.

Mt Coolum Early Learning isn’t just childcare, it’s a community where memories are made, confidence grows, and the joy of learning comes naturally.
