How Families Rate Milestones Palmerston

Quality Childcare and Preschool in Palmerston

Located on Hutchinson Terrace in Bakewell, just minutes from Palmerston city centre, Milestones Early Learning Palmerston provides quality early education and childcare for children aged 0-5 years.

Our centre is conveniently positioned for families in Bakewell, Gunn, Rosebery and surrounding Palmerston suburbs, with easy access via Chung Wah Terrace and close proximity to local landmarks like Palmerston Shopping Centre and Palmerston Recreation Centre.

Open Monday to Friday from 6:30 am to 6:00 pm, our long day care centre offers flexible care alongside a warm, welcoming environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.

Our experienced educators are passionate about helping each child build confidence, curiosity, and a strong sense of belonging. Through play-based learning and nurturing relationships, children are encouraged to explore their world, develop friendships, and grow in independence.

With engaging indoor and outdoor learning spaces, including a large playground designed for active play, and fresh, nutritious meals prepared onsite, every day is filled with meaningful learning experiences. Guided by our Lifelong Learning Curriculum, children build strong foundations in early literacy, STEM, and social development.

We also maintain strong connections with local schools including Bakewell Primary School and Rosebery Primary School, helping children feel confident and prepared for their transition to school.

Families across Palmerston and the wider Darwin region choose us for our welcoming community, experienced educators, and commitment to every child’s wellbeing.

Meet Our Palmerston Early Learning Team

Hello, I’m Linda Sanders, the Centre Manager at Milestones Early Learning Palmerston.

With over 28 years of experience in early childhood education and a Diploma in Early Years Education and Care, I bring a deep passion for supporting children’s development and working closely with families during these important early years.

Every day in early learning is different, and that’s what I love most. It’s a privilege to be part of each child’s journey, watching them grow in confidence, build new skills, and celebrate those special milestone moments along the way.

At Milestones Palmerston, I’m proud to lead a diverse and experienced team of educators who create a warm, inclusive environment where every child feels safe, valued, and supported. Our outdoor spaces make the most of Darwin’s beautiful weather, giving children plenty of opportunities to explore, play, and learn in a natural environment.

We look forward to welcoming your family and supporting your child’s early learning journey.
