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.

Our experienced educators deliver age-specific programs designed to support each stage of development, helping children grow in confidence, curiosity, and capability every step of the way.
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.
Committed to Safety and Quality
At Milestones, your child’s safety, wellbeing, and early learning journey are our highest priorities. We follow strict safety protocols as part of our Safety Commitment and operate in line with the National Quality Framework - Australia’s benchmark for early childhood education - ensuring high standards, consistency, and a nurturing environment where every child can thrive.
