Our Learning Spaces

Nursery 6 weeks to 15 months

The nursery room offers a calm, nurturing environment for infants aged 6 weeks and older. Educators support early development through sensory experiences, gentle routines, and responsive care tailored to each child’s needs.

Toddler 15 months to 2 years

The toddler program encourages early learning through play-based activities, structured routines, and guided social interaction. Educators focus on building confidence, communication, and independence in a safe environment.

The pre-kinder program helps children develop foundational literacy, numeracy, and social skills. Through storytelling, creative play, and small-group learning, educators prepare children for kindergarten in a supportive, flexible setting.

Our kinder program nurtures growth in ages 3–4 with hands-on learning, creative play and social interaction. Children explore early literacy, numeracy and teamwork while gaining confidence and independence each day.

This Queensland-approved kindergarten program is delivered by a qualified Early Childhood Teacher and focuses on school readiness. Children engage in structured learning and play, with extended care available before and after sessions.
