Welcome to Milestones Early Learning Macquarie

Located on Birch Place in the heart of Canberra’s Belconnen region, Milestones Early Learning Macquarie offers high-quality early education and child care for children aged 0–5 years. Open from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, our long day care centre provides a safe, welcoming environment where your child can learn, grow, and thrive.

We understand how important it is to choose a centre where your little one feels supported, confident, and inspired. That’s why our experienced educators are passionate about creating a nurturing space that encourages exploration, creativity, and connection every day.

Children enjoy vibrant indoor and outdoor learning zones, delicious meals prepared fresh onsite, and a range of experiences designed to support their early development. Guided by our Lifelong Learning Curriculum, we help children build foundational skills in literacy, numeracy, and social development - supported by a government-approved preschool program to prepare them for a successful start to school.

Families in Macquarie and across Canberra trust us for our strong community feel, dedicated educators, and commitment to early childhood education. Book a tour today and discover how Milestones Macquarie can support your child’s learning journey.
