At Milestones Early Learning, we understand how important - and emotional - it is to choose the right child care. Whether you’re preparing to return to work, planning ahead, or looking for an early learning centre that truly gets your child, we’re here to support your family every step of the way.
We provide more than just care - we offer nurturing, high-quality early education in a safe and welcoming environment for children aged 0–5 years.
With qualified educators, purpose-built centres, and a research-backed curriculum, we give your child the best possible start in life.

“The first five years of life are a time of incredible growth - when the brain develops faster than at any other stage. High-quality early education gives children the foundation they need to thrive, both now and into the future.”
Our age-based programs are part of the Lifelong Learning Curriculum - Australia’s most advanced early education framework. Each stage supports your child’s development in a way that’s nurturing, play-based, and research-informed.
Grounded in attachment theory and the Circle of Security, this program focuses on building secure, responsive relationships between babies and their educators. With nurturing care and emotional attunement, we support babies’ overall wellbeing and development.
Inspired by the Abecedarian Approach, our toddler program emphasises language-rich interactions, such as conversational reading and learning games. These early experiences build the foundations for strong communication, social skills, and cognitive growth.
Through Project-Based Learning, children are encouraged to explore big ideas, solve problems, and collaborate with others. This hands-on, inquiry-driven approach develops critical thinking, independence, and a love of learning that lasts.
You’re trusting us with your child, and we take that responsibility seriously. At Milestones, we create a safe and secure environment where children can confidently explore, learn, and grow.
Our centres are built with safety in mind, and our educators are trained in supervision, first aid, and child protection. We follow best-practice safety measures in line with the National Quality Framework for early childhood education and care.

The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is a government program that helps families with the cost of approved child care. Your subsidy rate depends on your income, your activity level (e.g. work or study), and the type of care you choose.
To apply:
Once approved, your subsidy will be paid directly to your child care provider, reducing your out-of-pocket fees. If you need help applying, our team can guide you.
