Our Philosophy
Nurturing Young Minds, One Step at a Time
At Scallywags Child Care Centre, we believe every child is unique and deserves a nurturing environment where they can grow, explore, and thrive. Our play-based philosophy encourages curiosity, creativity, and social-emotional development, laying the foundation for lifelong learning. By fostering strong connections with families and celebrating each child’s individuality, we create a space where children feel safe, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential—one step at a time.
Our Curriculum
Guided by Belonging, Being & Becoming
A well-rounded curriculum is the cornerstone of quality early childhood education, providing children with the tools to grow, learn, and thrive. At the heart of our approach is the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), Australia’s national guide for supporting children’s development from birth to five years. Centered around the principles of Belonging, Being & Becoming, the EYLF emphasizes play-based learning, fostering curiosity, creativity, and confidence in every child.
For our Kindergarten program, we follow the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline (QKLG), which builds on this foundation to prepare children for a smooth and confident transition to formal schooling. Together, these frameworks ensure a holistic, tailored approach to early education.

Choosing the right early education provider is essential for your child’s growth and your family’s peace of mind.
