The amazing staff at Mt Coolum Early Learning have spent the last 3 years helping me raise my autistic son into the beautiful little boy that he is. There is just so, so much more that goes into caring for an autistic child, it’s actually crazy. But nothing was ever too hard or too much, no one ever said ‘no we can’t do that’. Adjustments were constantly made to meet my son’s needs, and we were given never-ending effort, love, and support every day. I will be forever grateful to manager Julie and my son’s early educators for all that they’ve done for us. Thank you for keeping him safe, helping him grow, making him happy, loving him, and thank you for supporting me. I literally cannot put my gratitude into words.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Supporting your son over the past three years has been a privilege, and we’re proud of the progress he’s made. The team are deeply committed to meeting each child’s individual needs, and your feedback means a lot to them. Thank you for trusting Mt Coolum Early Learning and for being part of our community.

My son has been coming to Mount Coolum Daycare since he was a baby and he is now in the last Kindy room. The educators here are so gentle and great with the kids, lots of educational learning through play and is a great local daycare.

We were once very happy with Mount Coolum Daycare, but this year has been disappointing. Class sizes were too large, behaviour wasn’t properly addressed, and communication around incidents was poor. Sadly, it no longer felt like a safe or supportive environment for our children.

About Mount Coolum Day Care Centre

At Mt Coolum Early Learning, we believe childhood should be wild, free, and full of wonder. Our centre redefines early education by embracing the “WILD HOOD” where learning happens through adventure, exploration, and joy.

An Outdoor Paradise
Our extraordinary natural playground includes:
*A water park for splashing and cooling off
*Adventure play zones with scramble nets and climbing challenges
*Sand pits, creek beds, and large digging areas
*A sensory path and calming garden
*A mud kitchen for messy, creative discovery
*Purpose-built outdoor learning areas


We go beyond traditional play by balancing education, care, and fun. Children engage in hands-on programs that build life skills and resilience:
*Gardening and bush tucker planting
*Garden-to-table cooking experiences
*Worm farms and composting
*Water play and mud kitchen adventures


Our Philosophy
We believe children thrive when they:
*Explore nature at their own pace
*Take safe, age-appropriate risks
*Connect with all their senses outdoors
*Build confidence through real-world challenges


Through play-based learning, children develop independence, problem-solving skills, environmental awareness, social confidence, and school readiness all while enjoying the freedom to run, climb, dig, and discover.

Mt Coolum Early Learning isn’t just childcare, it’s a community where memories are made, confidence grows, and the joy of learning comes naturally.
