Sparrow Early Learning Toral Lodge

Welcome to Sparrow Early Learning Toral Lodge, situated in a tranquil environment in Buderim, Sunshine Coast Queensland.

First opened in 1991, Sparrow Early Learning Toral Lodge was purpose built for young children and families to enjoy farmyard experiences along with an approved childcare and kindergarten. We care for and educate 75 children a day, aged between 6 weeks to school age. The centre is open Monday to Friday, 7am to 6pm. (excluding public holidays).

Inspired by Reggio Emilia philosophy and guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, our educators provide a holistic, play-based curriculum with a strong emphasis on nature and outdoor learning experiences. We celebrate each child as unique and our dedicated educators focus programming on meeting the individual needs and interests of each child.

Sparrow Early Learning Toral Lodge is a place where everyone is valued. Educators, children, parents, families, and the wider community all have vital roles within our centre.  We believe that every child is a unique individual and we convey this in all that we do. Our philosophy and belief about children guide our programs and practices.

Our goals are to:

• Provide a safe, stimulating learning environment
• Ignite children’s passion for learning and discovery
• Guide children towards building secure friendships
• Build strong relationships with parents and our wider community
• Implement play based child initiated learning programs
