Nestled in the serene beauty of Buderim, we are more than just a childcare centre—it’s a place where children thrive in a nurturing environment. Our curriculum wraps around the interests of our children, so don’t be surprised if you find them planning a trip to Japan or in our mud kitchen building hotels for our bugs and insects. It’s in moments like these that we go deep to really understand and appreciate the world that surrounds us.

Our playgrounds are where stories are created

Our playground is a sanctuary that ignites curiosity, cultivates growth, and sparks joy. From our fort and slides to our mud kitchen and sandpit; every child discovers the joy of the outdoors, fostering a connection with the natural world.

Our indoor/outdoor play promotes open learning, with this in mind we create spaces each day to attract group play and solo exploration, risky play and even space for quiet time.

Our native garden provides a space for our nature enthusiasts and quiet time with our native bees.

We can assure you that in every corner there is something to be discovered.
