Milestones Early Learning Centre Outdoor Playground for Kids

Outdoor Play Equipment

Outdoor play is an essential experience for young children as it plays a vital role in their physical, cognitive, social and emotional development.

Each Milestones Early Learning Centre features an exciting outdoor play area for children to explore, build confidence, and develop friendships. The outdoor play area is different at each Milestones centre, but all include a large playground, sandpit and space to run, jump, balance and climb.

Our onsite cook prepares fresh meals for children daily

Meals Prepared Onsite

Each day our Centre Cooks prepare a wide variety of nutritious meals and purees onsite for the children and babies in our centres, taking the time to involve the children in meal preparation and healthy food education.

Creativity is essential when satisfying a number of young food critics every day, as is care, to ensure children's daily nutritional needs, and any individual cultural or dietary requirements are being met.

Note: A small number of our centres do not provide meals. The Centre Manager will let you know when you meet the team prior to enrolment though.

What makes you passionate about working in childcare? What makes you passionate about early childhood? I am so passionate about the future of Australia and that future includes children that we are teaching in our wonderful, small, home-like centre at milestones early learning Young. Every day I come in to work and see the children’s faces with big smiles, hear their laughter and the discussions that take place, either spontaneously or through our Educators intentional teaching and scaffolding, it is by all means the best start to the day! It is such a privilege to be a part of children’s early years and guide them from 6 weeks until they are ready to begin their primary school education at 6 years old. We as educators play such an important role in a child’s development and it gives them a head start for a lifelong love of learning.

Why do you believe your centre is an excellent choice for parents seeking the best childcare? Our centre is so different from most long day care’s in Young; it is a small (59 placed) centre that has been remodelled from and old giving it a homely feel. It is very open to providing opportunities for constant communication and discussions for educators and children alike. All educators are fully trained by government organisations and are passionate about their careers and the important roles they play in your children’s lives. At milestones we provide all meals ranging from morning tea to afternoon tea that are nutritionally based meals and super tasty. The educators find new idea’s to promote the love of learning for each child’s individual learning needs and use their interests and knowledge to do so. Our centre offers so much more and the best way to understand this is to come down and visit us! We always welcome walk throughs or booked tours and are proud to show everyone what our beautiful centre has to offer!

Fun fact about you? I love water skiing!
