Fun Fact:

Miss Paige and Miss Symone pride themselves on providing a safe and welcoming environment, where all children feel comfortable and confident in. They aim to always build strong relationships with children and families!

Here’s a fun fact about them: ✨💕

Miss Paige actually completed her work placement here in 2019/2020 whilst she was in high school. In 2021, she secured the role as an assistant educator in the nursery, and now fast forward 5 years, she is our nursery lead/assistant director!

Miss Symone actually just completed her Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care and is now looking forward to studying her Diploma!

Our Kindergarten Room ✏️🌟

Our Kindergarten room provides a rich play based learning environment where children can explore aspects of cultural learning, early literacy and mathematics skills and let their creativity shine through creative arts experiences.

We are also home to our class pet - Goldie the Goldfish! This helps the children learn about care, responsibility and respect for living things.

Our learning program is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline (QKLG).

Our Toddler Space 🎶🎨🫟

Our toddler room has little friends aged from 15 months - 2 years old and we currently have available days in this room!

Book a tour with us, come in and see the room environment and meet the educators. 💕
