Story

Our state of the art centres opened on the 29th March 2004. We are a double centre catering for children from birth through to 14yrs. We are open 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year (excluding public holidays). As security is one of our priorities our centre has an advanced security system where parents are allocated their own pin number to access the centre during business hours. Anyone else wishing to enter the building must be accompanied by a staff member.

Our centre is pleased to be operating a Queensland Government approved Kindergarten Program with an Early Childhood Teacher, aimed at preparing our pre-prep children for primary schooling. Our centre implements the Queensland kindergarten learning guideline and focuses on building upon children’s learning and development including literacy and numeracy skills and exploring the foundations of mathematics and science.

We are committed to the implementation of the National Early Years Learning Framework and operate an Emergent Curriculum. Our program is based on the individual needs of the children in our care, is balanced and developmentally appropriate. It has variations, providing for a wide range of individual experiences.

e believe food ingredients should come from the kitchen, not from a lab. From this belief came the inspiration to open our own production kitchen, the Healthy Cooking Company. We aim to create and promote natural and wholesome food with a number of health benefits:

* Preservative Free
* No artificial flavours
* Low in sodium & refined sugar
* Naturally sweetened with honey

As Educators, we believe in teaching children that physical activity can be fun as well as good for our bodies and minds. As a result we have employed the skills of a fully qualified Personal Trainer to coordinate exciting exercise programs within our centres. We want the children in our care to experience the numerous health benefits that regular physical activity can provide.
