Welcome to Milestones Early Learning Caloundra
Located on Lomond Crescent in Caloundra West, our purpose-built centre offers high-quality early education and care for children aged 0–5 years in a nurturing, safe, and adventure-filled environment.
We know that families are looking for more than just child care - they’re looking for a place where their child feels supported, encouraged, and inspired every day. That’s exactly what you’ll find at Milestones Caloundra. Our passionate educators bring over 250 years of combined experience to the centre, creating a warm and welcoming environment where children can grow, explore, and thrive.
Each day is full of opportunities for play-based learning and discovery. With three large outdoor yards featuring bike tracks, water parks, and custom-built forts, children have the freedom to move, imagine, and connect with others. Indoors, our enriching programs follow the Lifelong Learning Curriculum and include two government-approved kindergarten programs with exciting project work on themes like space, the zoo, and under the sea.
Families love our strong ties to the local community - whether it’s our veggie gardens teaching sustainability, our location next to Unity College, or being just across from the much-loved Izba Café playground. We’re also easily accessible via public transport, connecting us to Caloundra, the growing Aura estate, and Landsborough.
We’d love to show you around - book a tour today and discover how Milestones Caloundra can support your child’s early learning journey, every step of the way.

Meet Our Team
Hello, I’m Jess, the Centre Manager at Milestones Early Learning Caloundra.
I’m thrilled to share my 20 years of experience in Early Education, with almost 11 of those years spent with Affinity Education Group. My long-standing dedication to nurturing young minds truly reflects my passion for this field.
In my role at Milestones Caloundra, I lead, develop curriculum, and support our incredible staff - all with the goal of creating a safe and enriching environment for both children and educators. I’m deeply committed to fostering positive, nurturing spaces where children’s rights are respected, relationships are built, and continuous learning thrives. This holistic approach helps each child develop in a well-rounded way.
Watching children grow, achieve, and thrive during these foundational years is a privilege I cherish. Guiding them toward their goals brings both joy and fulfillment, and I find it heartwarming to contribute to their development.
Over the years, the positive impact I’ve had on children’s learning journeys reinforces my love for what I do and deepens my understanding of how crucial these early experiences are for their future. I’m excited to meet new families and show them around our wonderful centre!

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.
