Advertorial

Toowoomba Central Childcare and Preschool provides children with many opportunities to enhance and develop their skills through play using a childdirected program which caters for each child's interests and needs.

Our dedicated staff are long serving educators who will ensure your child is cared for and educated in such a way as to ensure they feel respected and valued so they can gain the confidence required to try new things and challenge themselves.

Our educators facilitate and support children’s learning and work with children in making sense of the world around them.

They ensure that each experience is an extension of a child’s home life and their first and most influential educators – their family.

At Toowoomba Central we provide a comprehensive curriculum to reflect the needs of each child, based upon the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and approved Queensland kindergarten guidelines.

It has a specific emphasis on playbased learning and recognises the importance of communication and language (including early literacy and numeracy) and social and emotional development.

The approved kindergarten program is often thought of as a pre-prep program.

Our approved kindergarten program is taught by a qualified early childhood teacher.

It is available to all children who turn four by June 30 in the year of attendance.

By offering the program in a long daycare environment, we offer hours of care that suit parents who are in paid employment or studying.

As it is widely recognised that the first five years create the foundation for the child to accomplish key developmental advances in mind and body, many families see the benefit in keeping their child in the long day care environment throughout this time before transitioning them to the school environment.

Parents who access the kindergarten program at a long daycare centre may be eligible for the Child Care Subsidy.

Our extensive facilities cater for the children in all areas including their physical development.

Our 60-metre long playground offers many shaded areas, physical challenges with our fort and climbing equipment, swing, sand play, quiet areas, a cubby and spacious verandas.

We also have gardens and pets (guinea pigs and rainbow lorikeet) where children can learn about their natural world and the importance of caring for our environment.

Our centre is located in Jennings Street, close to Toowoomba’s CBD.

We are situated in a quiet street behind James Street Motor Inn.

Please do not hesitate to drop in to our centre, meet our lovely educators and see the learning happening for yourself.
