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.

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.

Meet our Centre Manager, Katrina Hands

What makes you passionate about working in childcare? I am passionate about working in childcare because I believe that children need a space where they can believe in magic and the wonders of the world around them and that we allow them to do that. I am privileged to be part of a child's early learning journey and be able to help them explore and learn through play in a space where they are supported.

What is the funniest or most memorable moment you can share from working in childcare? There are too many to list, but I’d say the highlight for me is watching a little one trying to complete a simple task, often ones we take for granted, and they finally achieve them on their own, and they look at you with the proudest smile. It makes my day every time!

Why do you believe your centre is an excellent choice for parents seeking the best childcare? We have a beautiful centre with a very diverse group of educators who are all passionate about early childhood and are very supportive of each other and our families. We embrace having fun and learning with the children every day. We are here to support the family as a whole, not just their child attending the service.
