Glasshouse Mountains Early Education Centre

Glasshouse Mountains Early Education Centre

Our state of the art centre opened on the 3rd October 2006. We are a double centre catering for children from birth through to school age. We are open from 6:30am to 6:30pm five days a week, 52 weeks a year (excluding public holidays). As security is one of our priorities our centre has an advanced security system where parents are allocated their own security card to access the centre during business hours. Anyone else wishing to enter the building must be accompanied by a staff member.

The centre boasts a new Emergent Curriculum which focuses on learning through natural curiosity, doing and self-directing, not through sitting before a teacher who imparts knowledge.

Our educators facilitate learning and extend as much as possible right there and then as the child's discovery unfolds.

As a result, children will develop a love for learning which will help them succeed in their future education. Their delight and spontaneous wonder should always be the first priority.

Our staff are committed to up-dating their skills and knowledge and frequently attend in-service training and seminars.

We also provide a fun and exciting before and after school care program and vacation care programs for school aged children.

We believe food ingredients should come from the kitchen, not from a lab. From this belief came the inspiration to open our own production kitchen, the Healthy Cooking Company which provides morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea throughout our Child Care centres. We aim to create and promote natural and wholesome food with a number of health benefits.

As Educators, we believe in teaching children that physical activity can be fun as well as good for our bodies and minds. As a result we have employed the skills of a fully Qualified Personal Trainer to coordinate exciting exercise programs within our centres.
