Meet Our Centre Manager

Hi, my name is Wendy Carrillo and I am the Centre Manager at Milestones Early Learning Brookside. I have worked in the industry for five years. I hold a Bachelor's in Business and Administration with many years of experience back in my country, Venezuela. I am a mum of two beautiful children and I believe the first years of a child's life are very important for their development in many areas. I love this aspect and helping to guide them through their learning journey.

Here at Milestones Brookside, we love what we do. One of our best qualities is providing a safe, enjoyable, and loving environment for children every day. Our centre is beautiful and brings the opportunity to spend time all together and learn from each other. The team at Brookside is highly qualified to meet various needs and support each child through their developmental years. We love to see them grow and reach all milestones to set them up for success as they transition into big school. I am so proud of my team and their passion and commitment towards education is outstanding.

We are so grateful that our families put their trust in us and we are committed to setting them up for the future.

We are Committed to Quality

Our centre practices, policies and procedures align with legislative requirements as outlined in the National Quality Framework. This means that every effort is made to comply with the Education and Care Services National Law and the Education and Care Services National Regulation, the approved learning frameworks and the National Quality Standards.

Lifelong Learning Starts Here!

Milestones' bachelor qualified teachers and experienced educators are trained in Affinity Education's Lifelong Learning Curriculum, Australia’s most advanced approach to early education for children from birth to age five. The Lifelong Learning Curriculum draws on the best models of early education, contemporary research and evidence informed practices such as Circle of Security, Abecedarian, and Project Based learning, and is based on what children learn, where they learn and how they learn. It aligns to Australia’s Early Years Learning Framework and offers a rich combination of play-based and intentional teaching experiences appropriate to each age group.

Healthy Beginnings

Babies aged 0-1 years

Your baby will start their lifelong learning journey with us in a safe, nurturing environment. Educators will:

  • Develop strong, positive bonds;
  • Encourage confidence to explore new surroundings;
  • Spark curiosity through sensory experiences; and
  • Establish helpful routines that support health and wellbeing.

Early Experiences

Toddlers aged 1-3 years

Your toddler will enjoy an exciting environment in which to explore and experiment as their confidence and social skills emerge. Educators will:

  • Introduce literacy and numeracy through learning games;
  • Support self expression through language skills; and 
  • Develop social and friendship skills in group settings.

School Readiness

Children aged 3-5 years

Your child will be given the very best start before they begin primary school! Educators will:

  • Guide self-awareness, self-help skills and socialisation;
  • Investigate literacy, mathematics, science, technology and the arts;
  • Stimulate creativity, deeper thinking and problem solving; and
  • Prepare children for classroom environments through play-based preschool and kindergarten programs.

We offer a government approved kindergarten (also known as kinder or preschool in some states) program and long day care under one roof. This is not only more convenient for you, it helps children prepare for the transition to 'big school', develop a love of learning and make friends.

Our Program Inclusions

Here at Milestones, we know that all children are capable of realising their full potential if they are in the right environment. That is why we use project-based learning, appropriate technology and enrichment programs to spark the best experiences, and give children the very best start to their lifelong learning journey. These programs are included in the Lifelong Learning Curriculum, and are unique to Affinity Education centres.

Positive Living Skills

Positive Living Skills

This program is designed to equip children with essential skills for mental and emotional wellbeing. It helps them develop healthy self esteem and positive relationships, plus gives them tools and strategies that will help in all aspects of their life. Endorsed by Beyond Blue.

Reading Eggs & MathSeeds

Reading Eggs & MathSeeds

These fun, engaging technology-based games help children learn foundational reading, mathematics and problem solving skills. Families enroled in our School Readiness program receive full access to these programs (valued at $250) at no additional charge.

Big Thinkers Stem

Big Thinkers STEM

Our Big Thinkers STEM program focuses on engaging children's interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. It covers topics like natural science, weather, physics, and biology using a learning-through-play and hands-on approach.

Early Years Toolbox

Early Years Toolbox

This app-based assessment tool for children aged 4-5 years is designed to accurately assesses their learning and development in areas such as numeracy, vocabulary, working memory, and aspects of self-regulation. This information in turn helps educators identify future intentional teaching opportunities. 

Positive Living Skills

Aussie Wildlife Champions
