Our Taigum campus includes two centres, Taigum 1 and Taigum 2, offering a connected and nurturing early learning community. Taigum 1 has space for up to 96 children and is open from 6:30am to 6:30pm, while Taigum 2 accommodates up to 79 children and opens from 6:00am to 6:00pm, giving families flexibility to suit their busy lives.

Our Taigum campus is proud to be rated Exceeding under the National Quality Standard (NQS), reflecting our commitment to high-quality early learning and care.

Taigum 1 and Taigum 2 offer the Queensland Government Approved Free Kindy Program. As part of this program, children enjoy a play-based curriculum and take part in visits to local schools, supporting a smooth and confident transition into Prep.

Children learn through play, discovery and strong relationships and each centre features natural playgrounds and outdoor spaces designed to inspire movement, creativity and connection with the environment, including a dedicated waterpark.

Our experienced educators follow a Reggio Emilia-inspired approach, creating calm, engaging learning studios that support each child’s natural curiosity and sense of belonging. Children also enjoy enriching programs such as language classes, a sustainability program and regular visits to aged care facilities that build connection and empathy.

Swimming lessons are a key part of our program, helping children develop water confidence, safety awareness and physical skills in a fun and supportive setting.

About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum

At Kids ELC Taigum, our play-based and inquiry-led curriculum is thoughtfully designed and delivered by experienced and qualified educators who understand how young children learn and thrive. Our program is inspired by Reggio Emilia practices and shaped by each child’s interests, strengths, culture and capabilities.

We believe learning is most meaningful when it happens in partnership. Our educators work closely with children and families to create engaging learning experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity and a love of discovery.

Our curriculum is guided by respected national and international frameworks including the Early Years Learning Framework, Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines, My Time Our Place, the National Quality Framework, the Early Childhood Code of Ethics and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. These foundations help us nurture a learning environment that is inclusive, holistic and respectful of every child’s potential.

At Taigum, learning is grounded in the power of play. Through hands-on and open-ended experiences, children grow across all areas of development including social, emotional, physical, thinking and creative. Educators support each child’s wellbeing, sense of agency and identity by responding to their individual backgrounds, cultures and ways of learning.

Centre philosophy

Centre philosophy

At Kids ELC Taigum, we follow a Reggio Emilia-inspired approach to early learning. We see children as capable and full of curiosity. Learning is shaped by their interests, questions and relationships. Educators support this by guiding and learning alongside the children. Through play and hands-on experiences, children explore, discover and grow at their own pace.

We believe the environment is a key part of learning. Our spaces are calm, beautiful and thoughtfully set up to invite creativity and independence. Children are encouraged to express their ideas in many ways, such as through art, music, movement, storytelling and imaginative play. These experiences help them connect with others and share how they see the world.

Relationships are at the heart of our approach. We know that children learn best when they feel safe and supported. They grow through their connections with educators, other children, their families and the natural world. Our educators carefully observe and listen to children, helping to make learning meaningful. By working closely with families, we create a caring and respectful space where every child feels confident to explore, ask questions and enjoy learning.

I have nothing but good things to say about this childcare centre, from the first phone call with the centre manager we instantly felt at ease, the educators are caring and thoughtful. My little ones have built strong friendships with their peers and educators. The centre is always clean and there is an abundance of educational toys for the kids to play with. 5 stars without a doubt.

Amazing atmosphere for children to learn and grow. Carers are amazing and very attentive to kids. Only reason I gave 3 stars is because the feeding bottles and sippy cups are kept without lids. Carers need to be more careful with these as flies and inspects can sit on the bottles and then our babies are fed from it. Also I got charged for a day when my kid was on holidays. I gave them more than 3 weeks notice. When I emailed regarding it, no answer. Still waiting for an answer.
