Our purpose-built centre features light-filled, open-plan rooms that flow seamlessly into inspiring outdoor spaces.

Our approved Kindergarten program gives children in their year before school an exceptional foundation, delivered by qualified Early Childhood Teachers in a dedicated, nurturing environment.

Get To Know Us

Programs

Programs

With a holistic focus, the program at Eden Academy ensures the children grow in all areas of their development. This includes social, emotional, physical and cognitive skill development. 

Nature is an important part of the program, teaching the children to respect and care for the environment. The children learn how vegetables grow and enjoy nature play activities. They understand the calm of spending time outdoors and enjoy all of nature’s creations.

Health and wellbeing is another focus of the program. The children learn about healthy eating and nutrition through the meals prepared by the centre chef. The centre also worked with allied health professionals, including speech pathologists, physiotherapists and occupational therapists, to ensure the children have every opportunity to thrive.

About the curriculum

About the curriculum

Through play-based learning and fun activities, the educators at Eden Academy teach a holistic and age-appropriate curriculum. Aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework, the curriculum goes above and beyond to nurture each child and their unique talents, needs and interests.

The curriculum is delivered across four different learning environments:

  • Nursery (0 – 15 Months): the educators foster the children’s imagination, providing them with sensory experiences and opportunities for mindfulness.
  • Toddler (15 Months – 2 Years): the children develop their social and emotional skills, including sharing and independence. 
  • Pre-Kindy (2 – 3 Years): the educators balance fun and play with a steady introduction to structured learning. The children develop early friendships and build on the foundations of their physical and motor skills.
  • Kindergarten (3 – 5 Years): the children start to prepare for the transition to school through a more formal learning environment. Rest, play and fun are still important elements in the day, with imaginative and sensory activities that help to build critical thinking, confidence and independence.

Eden Academy Maroochydore has been the biggest blessing! A completely safe environment, all staff are welcoming and supportive! We have been there for years now, my son has done 3 levels there, after leaving a different daycare, the difference that he showed was absolutely shocking!! He started to flourish and shine, he has felt safe and has had no problem with the educators if anything he has had a beautiful bond with them, my son learnt his first words there! Eden gave us support while we were going through very hard times, they showed up, they cared, they gave the support to my son, and I mean the entire centre rallied around for us in our time of need, this place isn’t just a community but real connection, real support, great education for the little ones! I couldn’t recommend the centre any higher! My heart breaks that our time is almost up there! This is the place for your young ones to be!

The Educators and Centre management are caring, friendly and supportive. My daughter loves going each day and has been at Eden for 2 years, I highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for quality care.

First of all the positive: a couple of lovely staffs and the food cooked by the chef.<br><br>My son attended Eden from 18 months to 3.5 years (just over 2 years). He was almost every day unhappy, and his behaviour started getting worse. He also began having nightmares about going to daycare. Even 8 months after leaving, when we drive past he still says, “I don’t like that daycare, they were mean to me.”<br><br>I’ve witnessed a couple of times educators being kind and engaged when I was there, but it felt different when parents weren’t around.<br><br>We were also called for every small inconvenience when they seemed understaffed. On one occasion we were told (along with another mother) that our children had gastro and needed to be picked up early, but both kids were completely fine. We still had to keep them home for 48 hours.<br><br>Reports weren’t filled out properly, staff member at pick up would most days say „I wasn’t here but I think he had a good day“ and no one around could provide any information.<br><br>One day I got a call that he hurt him self (didn’t sound urgent) when I picked him up 20 minutes later he was full of blood and still crying. He had gotten his hand stuck in the door when an educator opened it. His hand needed two stitches and to be glued. It took almost two weeks to get an incident report and a proper explanation.<br><br>There were a few lovely staff members, but overall our experience was very poor. Since moving centres, the difference in my son has been huge and really speaks for itself.
