Our Play Spaces

Where Every Room Tells a Story of Learning and Play

Hatchlings

The Hatchlings Room

6 Weeks – 2 Years

Creating a warm, nurturing environment is at the heart of everything we do for our youngest learners. In the Hatchlings Room, children aged 6 weeks to 2 years are cared for with a tailored approach that respects their individual routines for sleep, feeding, and play. With a low 1:4 educator-to-child ratio, every child feels safe and supported. Spacious indoor and outdoor areas encourage exploration, while a quiet sleep room ensures peaceful rest and consistent monitoring.

Triceratops

The Triceratops Room

15 months – 2 years

This exciting stage of growth is filled with milestones and new discoveries. In the Triceratops Room, children aged 15 months to 2 years are supported as they develop independence, social skills, and self-confidence. With a 1:4 educator-to-child ratio (shifting to 1:5 at age 2), our team provides gentle guidance through early toilet training, cooperative play, and self-help skills. Expansive natural play spaces inspire curiosity and exploration, while meaningful interactions foster communication and problem-solving in a nurturing environment.

Raptor

The Raptor Room

2 years to 3 years

Transitioning to the Raptor Room is an exciting step for children aged 2 to 3 years, often called “moving to the big end.” This milestone includes exploring a larger outdoor play area and settling into new routines with the support of familiar transitioning visits. With a 1:5 educator-to-child ratio, our team provides attentive care, especially during toilet training. In this warm, welcoming space, children build independence, confidence, and friendships, fostering a strong sense of belonging as they grow.

T Rex

The T-Rex Room

2 years to 4 years

Confidence, curiosity, and independence flourish in this exciting stage of early learning. In the T-Rex Room, children aged 2 to 4 years are supported as they prepare for the transition to Kindergarten. Guided by the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline, our play-based curriculum inspires exploration and collaboration. With tailored educator-to-child ratios, children develop self-help skills like managing belongings and making choices. This vibrant space nurtures friendships, fosters curiosity, and builds the foundation for a successful school journey.
