Welcome to Milestones Early Learning Dalby
Located in the heart of the Western Downs, Milestones Dalby is a welcoming and down-to-earth centre where children aged 0–5 are supported to grow, learn, and thrive at their own pace. Our team of passionate educators genuinely love what they do - and it shows in the care, attention, and encouragement they give to every child.
With bright indoor learning spaces and a spacious outdoor playground, our centre is a place where curiosity is nurtured and little imaginations are free to explore. We serve fresh, nutritious meals made onsite daily, keeping children well-fuelled for play, discovery, and connection.
Our programs follow the Lifelong Learning Curriculum, including a government-approved kindy program and a strong focus on STEM, early literacy, and emotional development. We also maintain close links with local schools and community groups, ensuring your child is supported from day one right through to their school years.
We’d love to show you around—book a tour today and experience the warm, community feel that makes Milestones Dalby a trusted choice for local families.

Meet Our Team
Hi, I’m Leanne Stewart, the proud Centre Manager at Milestones Dalby.
I’ve been a part of the Affinity Education Group for 11 years, with the past 5 years dedicated to supporting our incredible Dalby centre in a Senior Management role. My experience in the early childhood sector has reinforced my belief that every child deserves access to a quality education, with a strong emphasis on connection to the local community and culture.
I’m thrilled to lead a team of passionate educators who bring integrity, pride, and respect to their work every day. Together, we provide high-quality care with children’s safety and well-being at the heart of everything we do.
Milestones Dalby is a welcoming, four-room centre that feels like a home away from home. We’ve worked hard to create a nurturing environment where children and families feel supported, especially during moments of transition or unease. Our goal is to foster a true sense of belonging for every child in our care.

Start Your Child’s Learning Journey with Us
At Milestones, every child benefits from our exclusive Lifelong Learning Curriculum - Australia’s most advanced early education program, designed to support their development from the nursery through to school readiness. Grounded in the latest research, our play-based curriculum builds strong foundations in confidence, communication, creativity, and wellbeing - preparing children not just for school, but for life.
Nurturing Growth from 0–5 Years
At Milestones, we offer more than just child care — we provide high-quality early education in a safe, nurturing environment for children aged six weeks to five years. 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.
