Welcome to Milestones Early Learning Sunshine Beach
Located on Pacific Avenue just moments from the coastline, our Sunshine Beach centre offers nurturing child care and early education for children aged 0–5 years in a relaxed, beachside environment that feels like a second home.
We understand that families are looking for more than just child care - they want a place where their child feels safe, supported, and excited to learn. That’s exactly what we offer at Milestones Sunshine Beach. Our experienced and passionate educators provide a warm, inclusive environment where children can grow in confidence, curiosity, and independence.
Each day is filled with opportunities for play-based learning, social connection, and discovery. Our large, engaging indoor and outdoor learning zones - including a spacious playground - encourage children to explore their interests and build lifelong skills. Children enjoy nutritious meals prepared onsite daily and benefit from our government-approved kindergarten program that supports a confident transition to school.
We proudly follow the Lifelong Learning Curriculum - Australia’s most advanced approach to early education - featuring experiences in STEM, language, literacy, and emotional development. With strong ties to local schools and community groups, we work closely with families to support each child’s unique learning journey.
Families in Sunshine Beach love our supportive community feel, dedicated team, and beautiful natural setting. We’d love to welcome you for a tour - come and see how Milestones Sunshine Beach can help your child achieve their next big milestone.

Meet Our Team
Hello, my name is Elly Harris, and I am proud to lead the team at Milestones Early Learning Sunshine Beach as Centre Director.
My passion for childcare stems from the incredible privilege of being part of children’s lives during their crucial first five years. Watching children grow, develop, and flourish under our care is truly rewarding. I understand how much trust parents place in us when they entrust their little ones to our centre, and I am committed to honouring that trust every day.
At Milestones Sunshine Beach, we are fortunate to have a mixed team of mothers, grandmothers, aunties, sisters, and daughters, creating a unique and nurturing environment. We pride ourselves on providing quality care, love, and a “mother’s touch” when children need it most. As a mother myself, with my child attending our service, I know firsthand the love and care every child receives, just as if they were our own.
We look forward to welcoming your family to our warm and supportive community at Milestones Sunshine Beach, where your child’s well-being and development are our top priorities.

To support you every step of the way, we’ve brought together all the essential information on our For Families page. Whether you’re just beginning your child care journey or getting ready for their first day, you’ll find clear, helpful guidance all in one place.
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.
