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.

DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE!! My son has ASD and was kicked out around 3 years ago. My nephew today has now been kicked out due to the fact he is non verbal with ASD. The director actually responded “Yes” when we stated they were discriminating against him. He apparently scratched other students, with staff next to him! & none of this has been recorded in any capacity. They do not do their job, they leave the children completely alone and unsupervised. I live on the same street, and have driven past multiple times to see the kids outside alone, with maybe one staff member. Due to the layout of the yard, they are not able to see them. This is a deplorable, despicable centre who lie straight to your face. I was advised they made an application so my nephew could have one on one with a new teacher. No, they lied. They never filed the application. I’m contacting the education department. But DO NOT send your children here. Especially if they have additional needs.
