Located in the heart of the South Brisbane health precinct, Clarence Street Early Learning combines the convenience of an inner-city location with architecturally designed outdoor spaces, maximising space and sunlight with indoor-outdoor spaces, garden play areas and open-air spaces that invite children to play, explore and socialise whilst purpose-built rooms provide age-appropriate settings for learning and growth.

Our caring team builds meaningful relationships with every child and family, creating real-life learning experiences that spark curiosity and build confidence. We welcome children from six weeks of age, with dedicated nursery, toddler, junior kindy, and kindergarten rooms led by nurturing and fully qualified educators who support children through every stage of early development.

Our Queensland Government-approved kindergarten program helps children prepare for prep while fostering a love of learning, an appreciation of diversity and cultures. Families enjoy the convenience of all meals, wipes, sunscreen, and cot linen provided, with our onsite cook serving fresh, nutritious morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea daily.

With strong community connections, a personalised approach to enrolments and the ease of dedicated parking for smooth drop-offs and pick-ups, Clarence Street Early Learning is a place where children truly thrive.

"We’ve been part of Clarence Street Early Learning since 2021, and I can’t speak highly enough of the team. They’ve taken the time to really know and support us, not just the kids, but me as a parent too. My youngest absolutely loves going and is thriving there. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of this centre They truly go above and beyond."

Our experienced, qualified educators bring genuine warmth for helping each child. They are supported by ongoing training, professional development, and supervision to ensure the highest standards of care. In our nurturing environment, the safety, wellbeing, and happiness of your child are always our top priority.
