Childcare & Early Education
A Nurturing Start for Children Aged 0–5
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.

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.
Babies (0-1 years)
Healthy Beginnings Program
Grounded in attachment theory and the relationship practices, 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.
Toddlers (1-3 years)
Early Experiences Program
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.
Preschool or Kindergarten (3-5 years)
School Readiness Program
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.
Your Child’s Safety is Our Top Priority
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.
We maintain:

Flexible and Affordable for Families
We know that understanding the cost of child care is one of the biggest questions families have. The good news is that most families are eligible for reduced fees through the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), and we’re here to help you make sense of it.
