Child Care & Kindergarten in Bairnsdale
Welcome to Milestones Bairnsdale - Dawson Street Campus, quality child care in Bairnsdale for ages 0-5.
Our passionate educators and teachers are trained and accredited in the Lifelong Learning Curriculum by Affinity Education Group, Australia’s leading provider of early education and child care.
Here at Milestones Bairnsdale - Dawson Street Campus, we pride ourselves on creating strong, positive bonds with children, and providing them with the individual care and attention that is essential in early education. We nurture a lifelong love of learning through a combination of play-based and intentional teaching experiences, which helps your child develop social connectivity, emotional confidence, foundational learning, and physical health and wellbeing.
Milestones Bairnsdale - Dawson Street Campus has a range of inspiring environments for children to explore. Our centre rooms are set up based on the children’s current level of development and their interests. Our centre also includes a spacious outdoor play area that encourages children to test their limits, build strength, and develop self-confidence.
Our days incorporate messy play experiences, allowing children to use their natural curiosity and engage their senses. Your child will be introduced to literacy and numeracy through fun learning games, and investigate science, technology and the arts. We also offer a range of health and wellbeing activities, and nurture a love of animals, nature and the environment.
Milestones Bairnsdale - Dawson Street Campus provides nutritionally balanced meals cooked daily by our onsite chef, an inclusion that is unique to Affinity Education Group child care centres. All nappies are included, plus you can stay connected with your child’s progress and receive updates about their day through our Storypark platform.
We know you’re busy and that deciding on child care and early education is a huge task. We are here to help you though! Our dedicated Family Support Team is available to answer any questions you may have about our programs, services, and subsidies available to your family.

Our Lifelong Learning Curriculum
Nursery
Your child's lifelong learning journey starts here! Our nursery provides a warm, safe environment for your baby to learn and grow. Caring and gentle educators will develop nurturing relationships with your baby, so your child will develop trust and a sense of belonging.
Toddler
Our centre provides a stimulating and fun environment to enhance your child’s learning in their early years. Learning starts long before school, with the first five years of a child’s life being crucial to laying the foundations for their ability to learn throughout their later years.
Preschool
Preparing for primary school is one of the most important times in a child’s life. Our Lifelong Learning Curriculum School Readiness program stimulates young minds, builds confidence, resilience and positive self-image, and supports children’s transition to school.
Meet our Team
Hi, my name is Jo-Anne Maguigan, and I am the Senior Centre Manager for both Milestones Early Learning Dawson Street Campus and Day Street Campus in Bairnsdale.
I have worked in the Early Childhood sector now for 36 years in New Zealand, Victoria and in Remote Aboriginal Communities in the Northern Territory, in a variety of roles from Kindergarten Teacher, working in pilot projects as well as Centre Manager.
I have a Diploma of Teaching (ECE) a Graduate Diploma of Education (ECE) and am a fully registered Early Childhood Teacher, I have also been involved with adult education for 30 years both in New Zealand and at TAFE Gippsland.
My Early Childhood Career began due to an interest in development and gifted children, I continued to study further in these two areas and later developed a strong interest in brain development.
I believe every child has the right to be safe and healthy to receive a high-quality Early Childhood Education and to reach their full potential through our Lifelong Learning Curriculum.
I look forward to working with our staff, families and children in both centres.
