Welcome Families

And Little Ones

There is no time in life more important in terms of total development than the period between 0 and 5 years of age. There is no time in which your child is more vulnerable. There is no time in which they are more open to learning (gaining new understanding on how the world works and what they can expect from the people and objects surrounding them).

We recognise this miraculous opportunity, and believe in paying special attention to your child’s needs as we plan each day.

We feel so blessed to have the chance to play a meaningful part in this journey of growth and development, providing your family with a ‘Village’ of support in our secure, comfortable environment, by warm and caring educators.

Our family would like to welcome you and your little one to our Centre. We hope you will enjoy many happy and treasured moments here.

Healthy eating begins in childhood and is the absolute foundation of lifelong health and wellbeing. We believe that children need to be inspired and encouraged to eat good food from a young age. Food has been connected very securely to behaviour and learning management. We therefore feel that if we can supply the children in our care with wonderful, tasty, nourishing food it can also have very positive outcomes with their growth and learning abilities.

As parents we felt in a space that we belonged to and there is nothing more beautiful than that. I imagine that if we feel that way, it makes our children feel that and much more!

From the moment we were accepted to go on a tour, we have felt an overwhelming sense of belonging.

I love that the day is started with an Acknowledgement of Country song, I think it's important in the society they are growing up in and will hopefully help with advocating for a stronger sense of awareness and respect for our aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities into the future.

CPELC Family Feedback

The centre, in my opinion, is well above the Excellence level they have been titled If you are lucky enough to be offered a position and are sitting on the fence, just know your expectations would be well exceeded and you'll quickly fall head over heels in love with the centre.

CPELC Family Feedback

I cannot speak highly enough of this centre! The staff go above and beyond every day to ensure the children are appropriately stimulated, challenged, supported, and most importantly, loved.

CPELC Family Feedback

I am so relieved and confident to leave my girl with such a loving team. The same can be said for the wider team at CPELC, everyone knows what is going on, is proactive to help, takes the time to know your child and is genuinely friendly, kind, and caring

In February 2022 South-East Queensland experienced torrential rain and severe flooding, Kindy closed, families were stuck in their homes or streets, power went out, cars got swept away, and helicopters and boats were rescuing people.
