About Avenues Early Learning Centre - Carina

Welcome to Avenues Early Learning Centre - Carina

Avenues Early Learning Centre Carina is a well-established, two-level centre licensed for 135 children per day, featuring nine spacious and homely rooms and three inviting outdoor play areas.
Inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, we view children as capable and curious learners, encouraging exploration through hands-on, play-based experiences. Our natural, open-air outdoor spaces are thoughtfully designed with sustainable practices in mind. Children actively engage in caring for gardens, growing edible plants, and looking after our worm farm and resident chickens.
Our dedicated Approved Kindergarten program operates in a separate learning space and follows the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines, with a strong focus on literacy and numeracy within a play-based framework. We also offer specialist programs in Raw Arts and Japanese, and collaborate closely with our local school to ensure a smooth transition through our School Readiness Program.
Our team of passionate educators and long-standing staff are committed to delivering high-quality early childhood education. We’re proud of our multicultural team, who reflect the diversity of our community and speak a wide range of languages. At Avenues Carina, we value strong partnerships with families and have a great sense of community, dedicated to creating a nurturing, inclusive environment where every child can grow, learn, and thrive.

About the curriculum

About the curriculum

Our highly qualified and experienced educators follow the Early Years Learning Framework Curriculum in the Nursery through to Pre Kindy rooms, with the Kindergarten Rooms following the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines. 

Our educators follow the children’s interests and extend on their skills through everyday activities that enhance their self-help skills, fine and gross motor skills, cognitive skills, social skills, resilience skills and more, all through fun play based learning. Being a Reggio inspired centre, our children have the oportunity to take part in project learning, where they engage in experiences that capture their interests.

Our educators believe that each child is an individual and will be treated with respect, kindness and care at all times. They show families that they value their culture and family values and will extend on these in the centre environment to ensure that each child feels safe and secure.

The best daycare we have been to by far! When my daughter was 6 months old we enrolled in a new daycare closer to our house however every week she would come down with a new sickness and we would to so made the decision to take her out of child care for a few months. Scared to enrol her in a big centre again, we opted for a family daycare but this did not suit, Aria would scream hysterically every time we left and also when we picked her up so one last try, we enrolled Aria at Avenue Carina and she has been so happy ever since! There were a few days where she would get upset when we left which is inevitable but once settled in, she has the best days at Avenues. We have watched her develop over the past year and a half and can see they really love their children. The communication is second to none and the updates are so consistent it really puts my mind at ease. We are sad to leave (only leaving because we are moving to the UK) but note if we do come back to Brisbane we will be sending her back there as I do think she will miss all the educators and her friends! Thank you so much for everything, you will be missed!

This centre, the staff and all the children are beautiful. The management are always around and checking in on their staff and parents. Monica on reception is always smiling and kind. All the educators we had across nursery through to junior kindy were great. Our kids loved them. Miss Priya is a truly passionate educator. She loves her job and takes shaping children’s skills, emotions and education seriously! There is always a new focus and program she is leading. We cannot rate this centre more highly.
