1. A purpose-built childcare centre within a high-rise

Sanctuary Health and Knowledge Precinct (HKP) was intentionally designed as an early learning centre — not adapted later.

Located within a high-rise at the heart of the Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct, every aspect of the centre was planned specifically for children, families, and educators.

On your tour, you’ll notice:

• Clearly zoned learning spaces designed for a vertical environment
• Wide verandas connecting indoor rooms to generous outdoor play areas
• Calm, secure flow throughout the centre despite its central location.
  
  

This thoughtful design supports children’s learning while offering convenience for families working nearby.

2. World-class design with inclusion built in

Inclusion at HKP is intentional, practical, and visible.

The centre incorporates universal access throughout, inspired by global best practice and specialist collaboration. Spaces are designed to support participation, regulation, and comfort for all children.

Purpose-built features include:

• Smooth, accessible movement across all areas
• Sensory-considered colour palettes and quiet zones
• Wide, open spaces that support mobility and flexible play.

This approach creates an environment where every child can engage confidently and meaningfully.

3. Nature-Rich outdoor play - even in an urban setting

Children at HKP enjoy real outdoor experiences, even in the heart of the city.

Outdoor playscapes feature native planting, natural materials, and open areas for exploration. Wide verandas act as a bridge between indoor learning and the natural environment, helping children feel connected to nature throughout the day.

4. A holistic, child-led approach to learning

Children learn best when their ideas and interests are valued.

Our curriculum supports independence, confidence, and life skills from an early age. Educators listen with intent and build learning experiences around children’s thinking, curiosity, and perspectives.

This approach helps children develop:

• Communication and social skills
• Emotional regulation and resilience
• Early foundations for school and lifelong learning.

5. Everything included - with no hidden extras

Families value clarity and knowing their child won’t miss out.

At Sanctuary Health and Knowledge Precinct, the daily fee includes:

• Fresh meals prepared on site by qualified chefs
• Incursions, excursions, music, movement, and wellbeing programs
• Essential items provided on enrolment.
  
  

This all-inclusive approach reflects a commitment to fairness, consistency, and quality experiences for every child.
