Incredible Childcare
We're a Family-Owned Child Care Operator
At Children’s Choice, a family-owned childcare centre, we are committed to working in partnership with parents to help each child reach their fullest potential. Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that children thrive when they are empowered to make choices in their learning through an inquiry-based, play-centred curriculum.
Our beautiful, natural playground offers ample space for active play as well as quiet, reflective areas, providing a well-rounded daycare environment for all types of activities.
To ensure your child’s health and wellbeing, our qualified chef prepares daily meals following seasonal menus for Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. We are dedicated to offering the most nutritious meals in the area and always welcome your feedback and suggestions.

Our Journey
Fully Licensed Childcare Using the National Framework
Children’s Choice is fully licensed under the Child Care Act 2002 and Child Care Regulations 2003, adhering to strict standards for activities, staff-to-child ratios, and staff qualifications. We invite parents to actively participate in their child’s educational journey by offering insights on our daycare programs and accessing real-time observations and planning through our app.
We are guided by the nationally approved learning frameworks in operation under the National Quality Framework, such as the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), My Time Our Place and Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline (QKLG) for our programming and curriculum. Our educators regularly evaluate educational programs, goals, and philosophy to extend the interests of the children through their inquiries and play. Children’s interests are encouraged and supported to assist and scaffold them in their individual learning and developmental journey.
