We offer nurturing care and quality early education for children from 6 weeks to 6 years, with flexible hours (9, 10, 11, and 12-hour sessions) to suit busy families.

Our Learning Environments

Our children benefit from familiar faces as they grow, creating a sense of continuity:

  • Nursery (0-2 years): A safe, nurturing environment for babies to explore with tailored sensory and social experiences.
  • Toddler (2-3 years): Play-based learning encourages curiosity, confidence, and social skills.

We’re proud to have qualified teachers and educators, supported by a team of national education experts, ensuring the highest quality childcare and early education.

Innovative Early Learning Programs

Our teachers deliver the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF or the national curriculum) through play-based learning that covers language, literacy, numeracy, STEM, social, and emotional development. Our program also includes:

  • Rhythm and Movement for Self-Regulation (RAMSR), an evidence-based program developed by Queensland University of Technology to support children’s executive function and self-regulation.
  • Environmental and social sustainability learning experiences.
  • Personalised learning plans for each child.
  • Local school connections.

We focus on strong family partnerships through regular learning and development conversations with your child’s lead educator, learning showcases, and in-centre family events. Our Xplor app provides real-time updates and learning summaries daily to keep you informed on your child’s journey.

Get To Know Us

Meet the team

Hi my name is Sabrina, and I am the Centre Manager here at Creative Garden Mount Annan. I began my career in early childhood education in 2008, and I started at Creative Garden Early Learning Mount Annan in 2012.

I currently hold a Bachelor of Education and previously received a Diplomas in Children’s Services. I became centre manager in 2017 and supported my own service and the region and other services within the company. Being an educator within the service previously has taught me the importance of each educator, their value and their experience and what we can bring to each and every child daily.

I have always had a passion for children and education. I love teaching children how to grow and develop and be the best person they can be in their early years. It is amazing to see their milestones and watch their friendships form with their peers and educators.

Children are resilient to change within the world, the environment, and themselves. Every day, we can learn from them if we just stop and take in the moment. It is such a reward learning from them, being their educators, support, role model and friend. Working alongside them and with them is such a powerful thing.

I love watching, guiding and supporting children to grow and develop in their own unique ways. I have a strong passion for the creative arts and love to share this with the children. Seeing them engage with passion and a love for what they are working on demonstrates the ability that children have and the investigations skills they develop. They are truly inspiring.

There are many learning benefits of attending a dedicated early childhood education centre. Social and emotional development is the most important thing a child can learn at a young age. The early years of a child are the fundamental ages. Children learn best through play and engaging with other children and educators. They learn to engage, play and develop language skills to set them up for their next milestones in life and big school.

We have a long-standing team that are very passionate and dedicated educators. One of the educators has been here for 26 years, demonstrating the integrity that we show here at the service. We also have new trainees that we support in their new learning and within the industry, giving them the best chance to be the best educators they can be. The educators work well together, driving an educational program and experiences for the children.

We demonstrate to families that we build good relationships from the get-go. We offer a welcome email that gives families a chance to send their child’s likes and dislikes, allowing us to set the child/ren up for a great first day. We encourage families to call in as much as they would like throughout their first day/week, giving them that comfort to know that their little one is safe. We support families in any way we can by doing charity drives when and if we need to, allowing them to come into the services, share their special experiences with the children, and genuinely care for each family. Our services offer families a chance to feel like part of our Creative Garden family each and every day.

About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum

“Let the child be the scriptwriter, director and the actor in their own play” - Magda Gerber

Nursery Space: 6 weeks – 2 years

Learning starts from before birth, and our Educators have created a welcoming and nurturing nursery environment where each baby feels safe to explore and discover new things - through their senses, their communication and cues (body language, facial expression and sounds) and through experimentation. On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of play including sensory play, music time, story time and more. Every day provides a brand new, exciting adventure for our babies to support their development, learning and wellbeing.

Toddler Space: 2 - 3 years

Our teachers and educators encourage the children to learn through play to help enhance their sensory-motor development. This happens through carefully planned music, dance, games, role playing and reading experiences.

On any given day the Toddlers can be seen developing their numeracy by building a tower, sorting objects, pointing and identifying shapes and patterns and participating in counting songs and games.

Children in our toddler space are encouraged to participate in group play. Group play is important as it helps our toddlers develop important social skills such as, turn-taking, developing self-confidence and emotional self-regulation. Our skilled team helps children through talking, planning and role modelling.

Health and Nutrition

Health and Nutrition

Our centre chef prepares and cooks nutritious meals daily, catering to the unique dietary requirements of every child. We believe that by encouraging active participation (such as growing their own fruit and vegetables, preparing, and finally cooking!) children learn to appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating across a wide variety of food.

Our centre offers seasonal whole food-based menus – created to delight the fussiest eaters.

We absolutely love this daycare and couldn’t be happier with the level of care my child receives. The backyard/play area is fantastic and such a great space for the kids to enjoy, my child especially loves being involved in the gardening. The manager is always approachable and supportive whenever I’ve needed to discuss anything. We’re so grateful to Sabrina and the teachers for displaying such a welcoming and caring environment.

Been sending my boy to daycare 5 days a week and, as hard as that is, I needed a daycare that felt like home while still operating safely and exceeding expectations in raising growing minds within a professional environment. I love how the kitchen has open arches where the children can watch food being prepared and smell the nutritious meals cooking throughout the day. I love how the backyard still feels like a backyard — updated, but not overly modern. I love the vegetable gardens and how they create little pathways and quiet spaces for the children to explore. Most of all, I love how the staff are consistent, familiar and genuinely know every child and parent. Watching my boy thrive here has made such a hard transition feel so much easier.

Creative Garden has made my daughter feel so welcomed in her first year at the center in 2026. It's her final year of daycare and I believe she is thriving in this new environment due to the staff recognising what her development needs are.

My daughter started here after a few months at a different centre and the difference in the environment was noticeable through my daughters excitement and happiness to be attending 2 days a week. She now looks forward to going and is very happy upon pick up, indicating she's had a great day. The staff are very understanding and helpful with my daughters speech and understanding delays and do their best to help encourage her without forcing her to do things she's not comfortable. I will be sending my second daughter when she's a bit older 😊
