Our Rooms

We cater for children from 6 weeks to 5 years

NURSERY 6 weeks to 15 months

We have a warm and nurturing environment reflecting the home and family setting for our babies and toddlers in the nursery where each child has their own routines allowing them to learn and develop as the little individuals that they are. Our qualified educators in the nursery are committed to building strong and meaningful relationships with the babies and toddlers where they feel loved, safe and secure. The nursery is a reflection of the principals, practices and learning outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework. Our Nursery educators all have completed their first aid, asthma, anaphylaxis and SIDS training to ensure the health and safety of all our babies.

Junior Kindy 1 and 2 provide ample opportunities for all children to develop their own individual identities while developing their social and emotions skills; the educators do this through working in collaboration with the children’s families and the Early Years Learning Framework.

The kindergarten teacher works in collaboration with the locals schools to ensure a smooth transition for all children moving from our setting to the school environment at the end of each year. The Kindergarten program is based on the QLD Kindergarten Guidelines this ensures that children will have the knowledge and social development that they will need to transition into school the following year.
