Welcome to Milestones Early Learning Lake Albert

Milestones Early Learning Lake Albert offers quality early education and child care for children aged 0–5 years in a nurturing, community-focused environment. Conveniently located within the Lake Village Shopping Centre at 39 Gregory Crescent, and open Monday to Friday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, our long day care centre supports local families with flexible hours and a strong focus on play-based learning.

Our caring and experienced educators are passionate about building genuine relationships with children and families, creating a space where little ones feel safe, supported, and eager to explore. With beautifully designed indoor and outdoor learning zones — including a large playground — children enjoy hands-on experiences that inspire confidence, creativity, and friendship.

We proudly follow the Lifelong Learning Curriculum — Australia’s most advanced early childhood education framework — which includes enriching opportunities in STEM, language, literacy, and social development. Our government-approved preschool program ensures children are well-prepared for a confident transition to school.

Fresh, nutritious meals are prepared onsite each day, and our strong connections with local schools and community groups foster a true sense of belonging and continuity in learning.

We’d love to welcome your family to Milestones Lake Albert — book a tour today and discover how we can support your child’s next big milestone.
