Surrounded by peaceful bushland, Majella is a welcoming early learning centre where every child is recognised as unique and supported to learn in their own way.

Our caring team takes the time to build meaningful relationships with each child and their family, creating real-life learning experiences that spark curiosity and build confidence. We care for children from six weeks of age, with dedicated nursery, toddler, junior kindy and kindergarten rooms, each led by experienced educators who nurture children through every stage of their early development.

Our Queensland Government-approved kindergarten program helps children prepare for prep while exploring languages and cultures to foster an appreciation of diversity. Families enjoy the convenience of all meals, wipes, sunscreen and cot linen being provided, with our onsite cook preparing fresh, nutritious morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea daily.

With a brand-new playground and a strong sense of community, connection and care with families, Majella is a place where children can truly grow, learn and thrive.

Outdoor play spaces support young children to grow, develop physical skills, and take on new challenges through fun, active exploration.

Purpose-built playgrounds give children the chance to test their abilities, build resilience, and grow in confidence through discovery.

Sensory and imaginative play, like mixing and pouring in the mud kitchen, encourages creativity, cooperation, and essential early learning for young children.

The new playground helps children grow by encouraging them to take turns, show respect, and build friendships through shared play and social interaction.

"I cannot recommend Majella enough! The staff at the centre are beyond caring and nurturing. They are genuinely passionate about early childhood education and helping little ones grow and succeed. The centre is always clean and has an incredibly calm atmosphere at all times. It is by far one of the best centres in the local area."

Nurturing social skills 

Our nursery offers gentle, nurturing care from qualified educators who genuinely love what they do, supporting babies feeding, rest and play in a calm and caring environment. 

Mealtime routines 

The children serve themselves during mealtimes, which helps to foster their independence in readiness for school and develop their social skills, get into a daily routine, and learn patience. Our onsite cook prepares morning tea, lunches and afternoon tea, and the children learn to share and communicate effectively. 

Approved programs for growing minds 

We support children’s growth in every way, with learning programs across long day care guided by the Early Years Learning Framework. In our nursery, toddler, and kindergarten rooms, qualified educators tailor experiences to each child’s individual needs and developmental stage. Our approved programs are led by dedicated educators who take the time to understand each child, celebrate their uniqueness, and support them to learn and thrive in the ways that suit them best. 

Current Fee Schedule

Fees are reviewed annually and may be increased each year. Quality care for children, affordability for families and financial viability of the service are the key elements in determining fees.

Director

I’ve been an early ed director since:
2020 with Catholic Early EdCare, all up I have been in the industry for over 22 years.

My favourite thing about being an early ed director is:
I enjoy my role as a leader and a mentor to all of my staff, I believe in leading by example. My role allows me to form great bonds and relationships with the children, families and the community.

Something I like to tell all mums and dads is:
I like to tell parents and carers about their child’s exploration and play as it is the magic in their day. Reminding them the joys and freedom of being a child and living in a child’s world of opportunities.

My favourite way to relax is:
To holiday on a cruise ship, but when I’m not floating I enjoy a hot bath and a good book.
