Our Approach

Fostering Connection and Creativity in Learning

Building Relationships

Building Bright Futures with Open Hearts and Doors

We pride ourselves on our open-door policy, fostering a welcoming environment where families are encouraged to engage in their child’s learning journey. 

 

We believe strong partnerships between educators and families are essential to the success and wellbeing of every child. From the enrolment and orientation process to our daily programs, we ensure open communication is maintained through regular updates, including emails, conversations, and detailed documentation via Storypark.

 

In addition to these channels, we actively encourage parents to participate in our centre’s activities, events, and decision-making processes. Whether through parent-teacher discussions, feedback forums, or involvement in special programs, we value your insights and collaboration.

 

At Perfect Start, family involvement is at the heart of our practice, ensuring that each child’s experience is enriched by a connected, supportive community.

Nurturing Growth

A Play-Based Curriculum for Lifelong Learning

At Perfect Start Early Education, we embrace the boundless curiosity of children, encouraging them to follow their passions and explore the world around them. Our curriculum, built on the principles of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), is designed to transform natural interests into powerful learning opportunities through play.

 

With an emergent curriculum that adapts and evolves in response to the unique needs of each child, we ensure a personalised approach to early education. Our educators collaborate with families to shape meaningful learning experiences that celebrate individual strengths and promote development.

 

From infants to kindergarten, our programs offer a balance of indoor and outdoor activities, providing rich environments where children can grow, discover, and thrive.

Getting Ready for Prep

A Holistic Kindergarten Program

Experience the excellence of our Kindergarten programs at Perfect Start Early Education, specifically designed for children aged 4 to 5 years. Our comprehensive curriculum, aligned with the Queensland Kindergarten Program, provides a robust foundation for a smooth transition to formal education and fosters a lifelong love of learning. We are also proud to be registered for free kindy in 2025.

 

At the heart of our program is a strong focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), which nurtures creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. We believe that early education should empower children to explore and innovate while building essential life skills. Our curriculum also emphasises building friendships, emotional exploration, and a deep understanding of emotions, ensuring children are well-prepared for future success.

Comprehensive Programs for Every Stage of Development

Our Curriculum

A Gentle Beginning

Infants

 6 Weeks to 12 Months

At Perfect Start Early Education, our Infant Program is designed for children from birth to 15 months. We provide high levels of care and comfort in an environment that feels like a home away from home. We know leaving your baby can be difficult, so we do everything we can to make it easier for you.

Our Nursery rooms are warm, safe, and welcoming, creating a soothing space for your little one. 

With educator-to-child ratios that meet the National Quality Framework standards, your child receives personalised attention and care.

We focus on early socialisation, helping infants begin to recognise sounds, sights, and develop early language skills. Our educators talk, read, and sing to the children regularly. As babies grow, we introduce interactive play with toys, blocks, and art materials like crayons and paper to encourage motor skills and creativity. 

We also use music throughout the day to support language development and social interaction.

At Perfect Start Early Education, we are dedicated to nurturing every child’s growth in a safe and loving environment.

Nurturing Independence and Creativity

Toddlers

12 Months to 18 Months

At Perfect Start Early Education, our toddler program is crafted to ignite imagination, nurture creativity, and support growing independence. We understand that toddlers are full of curiosity, and our educators guide them to explore a world of sounds, shapes, colours, and textures. Through playful learning with songs, puzzles, interactive toys, and hands-on activities, children can express themselves while also learning to understand their emotions and develop empathy for others.

A key part of our toddler program is fostering independence through everyday self-help skills. We guide children as they learn to feed themselves, use utensils, wash their hands, dress, and pack up after playtime. These moments of growth are supported by our educators who provide gentle encouragement and practical support.

Our outdoor play areas offers toddlers the space to run, climb, balance, and explore, helping them develop gross motor skills in a fun and active environment. Indoors, the happy, vibrant atmosphere of our toddler rooms promotes socialisation and creativity, where each child’s unique personality shines.

With personalised care and consistent routines, we ensure that every child feels safe, supported, and excited to learn. At Perfect Start, we’re here to help your toddler grow in confidence, independence, and creativity, laying the foundation for a bright future.

Inspiring Growth and Confidence

Pre Kindy

18 Months to  3 Years

At Perfect Start Early Education, our Pre-Kindy program provides a nurturing, playful, and stimulating environment where young children grow into confident, independent learners. This is an age of wonder, where curiosity drives every experience and new discoveries are made each day.

 

Children at this stage begin to develop essential skills, such as recognising numbers and letters, solving problems, and building longer attention spans. Our program encourages this natural curiosity through hands-on learning, allowing children to explore the world around them using their senses and motor skills. Whether through creative play or experimenting with trial and error, every child is given the space and support to master new skills at their own pace.

 

Pre-Kindy is also a time for emotional growth, and we place a strong emphasis on building social skills. Through daily interactions, children learn to communicate, share, and collaborate with their peers. Our dedicated educators guide them in forming relationships based on trust, empathy, and acceptance—skills that foster self-esteem and emotional resilience.

 

The Pre-Kindy curriculum includes a balanced mix of teacher-guided activities and free play, providing endless opportunities for creativity and learning. From arts and crafts to music, stories, and numeracy exercises, each day is filled with engaging activities that lay the foundation for school readiness.

 

At Perfect Start, we celebrate this exciting developmental phase by helping children explore their creativity, develop key skills, and grow with confidence.

Holistic Learning and Confidence Building

Senior Kindy

3 Years to 4 Years

At Perfect Start Early Education, our Kindy program for children aged 3 to 4 focuses on holistic development, promoting self-confidence through a rich array of learning experiences. We believe in nurturing both the heart and mind, helping children grow emotionally, socially, and intellectually.

 

Our Kindy program features extra-curricular activities like creative arts and music—at no additional cost to parents. With a specialised music and movement teacher, children engage in activities that promote creative thinking, spatial awareness, musical exploration, and language development, including the use of Auslan sign language. Through movement and singing, children are encouraged to express themselves and develop new skills.

 

We also connect children with nature through our gardening program, fostering a hands-on understanding of sustainability. This combination of indoor and outdoor learning helps children build a well-rounded foundation as they prepare for their schooling years.

Future Ready

Queensland Government Approved Kindergarten Program

4 Years to 5 Years

At Perfect Start Early Education, our Kindergarten program is designed to prepare children for school while embracing the magic of their final year of play-based learning. We focus on developing social and emotional intelligence through a supportive and creative environment, ensuring children are confident and ready for the next stage of their learning journey.

 

Our team of experienced and qualified early childhood teachers delivers a flexible, holistic curriculum based on the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines and the Early Years Learning Framework. Each day, children engage in meaningful activities that introduce early concepts of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) alongside literacy, numeracy, arts, music, and physical development.

 

We believe in learning through hands-on discovery—whether it’s exploring the outdoors, creating in the art room, or engaging with interactive learning tools like whiteboards and science zones. Children are encouraged to follow their interests and express themselves in a safe and stimulating environment, with activities tailored to their individual strengths.

 

Our program also includes exciting extras like a STEM program with a qualified science teacher, dance and movement classes, the ELLA program ( foreign language), excursions, swimming at selected centres, yoga, centre events, and a gardening program.

 

With a focus on building confidence and courage, we prepare children not only for school but for life beyond the classroom.
