Discover affordable care and watch your child blossom and grow.
The early years of education and care are the foundation for every child’s future. At our Long Day Care centres, we partner with families to support children to learn and grow in all kinds of ways, from six weeks old through to kindergarten.
We offer a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment where every child can thrive. Our programs are thoughtfully designed to support your child’s learning, creativity and sense of belonging, ensuring they feel valued, confident and inspired every day.
Our experienced and qualified educators will support your child with genuine warmth and care. We will help them to develop foundational literacy and numeracy skills, through play, in line with the Early Years Learning Framework and carefully support their social and emotional development.
We are committed to fostering positive, respectful, meaningful interactions with every child in our care, by listening to children, valuing their ideas and responding with empathy and kindness. We embrace diversity and celebrate the unique cultural background, abilities and experiences that every child and family bring to our community.

All of our long day care centres provide an approved Queensland Government Kindergarten Program run by university-qualified early childhood teachers. Following the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines, our kindy program helps children grow across five key learning areas and get ready for prep with early literacy, numeracy and science skills.
Teachers tailor learning to each child’s interests and stage of development, building confidence and a love of learning. To enrol in our kindergarten rooms your child should turn four by June 30 of that year. If your child is already attending our service we will talk with you about the best time for your child to move into our kindergarten room.
