Purpose Built Kindergarten on the Sunshine Coast
Our state-of-the-art, purpose built daycare centre is equipped with modern resources and spacious indoor rooms for each age group. Our stunning outdoor environment is an extension to our well-appointed rooms, with Alex Forest Bushland Park located adjacent to the playground providing a natural backdrop that enhances our outdoor play area for play based fun learning activities. This setting encourages open ended-interactions, spontaneity, exploration and discovery, encouraging an environmental awareness and a respect for nature.
Our four separate playgrounds cater for different age groups, allowing our children to have their own age appropriate activities and play space. Our natural playground environments include sand pits, dry creek beds, vegetable gardens, bike paths, water play and much more.
Preschool that Promotes the Journey of Discovery
Fundamental to the Early Years Learning Framework is a view of children’s lives as characterised by belonging, being and becoming. We believe that a connection to their environment is an essential component of developing a sense of belonging. We encourage this through sustainable practices, teaching about our location and surrounding habitats and developing a love of the environment in all children.
