About Great Beginnings Childcare - Floreat

We are conveniently located for families in or commuting through Floreat, Churchlands, City Beach, Scarborough and Wembley. 

Many of our Children go on to attend local schools such as Floreat Park Primary School and Churchlands Primary School, supporting a smooth transition to school.

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.
  • Kindergarten (3-6 years): A stimulating learning environment that prepares our children for school through our Enhanced Learning Program.

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.

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.

Kindergarten Space: 3 – 6 years

Kindergarten is a unique time for learning with peers and developing skills for later learning including confidence and curiosity, important skills for starting school. Our play-based program has school readiness at its core, encouraging active engagement in learning and supporting a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity.

The oral language supports literacy learning and a child’s oral language ability is the best predictor for later success in learning to read and write. Hearing the sounds within a language is the first critical step for all literacy learning. Our team supports our Kindergarten children's literacy development by engaging in rich discussions, reading, storytelling, dramatic play and experimentation all of which introduce new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations.

Throughout the Kindergarten year, children use their language to share ideas, ask questions, express themselves, and connect with peers and adults in social settings.

Social-emotional skills, including the ability to self-regulate emotions, are supported through group learning experiences. Our team supports each child’s social and emotional development by labelling and talking about emotions and supporting appropriate responses as together, they engage in new and challenging situations. Our goal in the Kindergarten year is to prepare children and families for a smooth transition to primary school.

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.

I started my career in early learning back in 2013. I found my beautiful centre in 2015 and have been here since. I hold a Diploma in early childhood education and care. I started as a young trainee studying my certificate III. Since then I have been an assistant educator, a lead educator, an assistant manager and now a centre manager.

Every day I learn something new from our beautiful children. The challenges, the growth, the achievements and the love are what I enjoy the most about my career. The biggest thing I have learnt about children during my time is that they are all their own individuals with such big minds and open hearts. This has taught me to care and teach every child based on their own needs and passions.

At our Floreat centre, we offer the chance for your child to learn in a loving and caring environment full of fun and socialisation. The friendships and relationships made in early childhood become life-long and play such an important role on your child's development.

Our team here at Great Beginnings Floreat have become a family over the many years that we have all worked together. Our team consists of mothers, fathers, grandparents and aunties/uncles. We care and provide for them as we would our own families. Our team members are long-term staff that have been in the sector for many years.

We help our families with toilet training and give them sleeping tips. We may have our families running late to work on the odd occasion as we love to have a chat and genuinely care about them all. We need our families to feel supported and cared for by us as the relationships built with the families reflect a positive experience for children. This builds trust, security and safety with the child and families.

Our son had to abruptly change daycares and great beginnings were so accommodating to a quick enrollment process. He has learnt so much and is very happy in the toddlers room! Mikayla and the team are so receptive to any concerns you may have and really put all the effort in to make sure you are heard as a parent.

I was very much not ready to return to work and send my little one off to care but alas we have to do what we have to do. Since returning to work the staff have been nothing short of amazing, my girl loves it, she loves her friends, her educators, her room and most importantly (to her) the food. The staff have become our family, and it’s so comforting to know she is loved and cared for. They have learnt all her little quirks and each person has worked to build a relationship with my baby meaning we thankfully have little to no separation anxiety anymore. I love this centre, there is literally no other place I would feel comfortable leaving my daughter.
