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 Team

Hello! I’m Debra, the Centre Manager at Milestones Early Learning Cranbourne North. With over 20 years of experience in Early Childhood Education, I hold both a Diploma and an Advanced Diploma in Children’s Services. Throughout my career, I’ve worked across all age groups and held various leadership roles, each deepening my passion for supporting children’s development and learning.

It’s an honour and joy to be part of the early learning journey for children and their families. Celebrating milestones and achievements together is truly rewarding. I’m especially excited to share our Lifelong Learning Curriculum, which inspires children to explore, grow, and develop a lifelong love of learning. Mentoring our dedicated team of educators to deliver this curriculum is a highlight of my role.

Our centre offers a small, home-like environment with a team of long-term, highly qualified educators who are passionate about building strong, supportive relationships with families in our community. Conveniently located across the road from Courtenay Gardens Primary School, we help ensure smooth and comfortable transitions to school.

I look forward to welcoming you and your family to our centre!

Our Safety Commitment

At Milestones and Affinity Education, we believe that child safety is everyone’s responsibility. We are committed to upholding the safety, rights and wellbeing of all children and promote a culture of child safety with a zero-tolerance approach to child abuse and harm.

Lifelong Learning Starts Here!

Milestones' bachelor qualified teachers and experienced educators are trained in Affinity Education's Lifelong Learning Curriculum, Australia’s most advanced approach to early education for children from birth to age five. The Lifelong Learning Curriculum draws on the best models of early education, contemporary research and evidence informed practices such as Circle of Security, Abecedarian, and Project Based learning, and is based on what children learn, where they learn and how they learn. It aligns to Australia’s Early Years Learning Framework and offers a rich combination of play-based and intentional teaching experiences appropriate to each age group.

Healthy Beginnings

Babies aged 0-1 years

Your baby will start their lifelong learning journey with us in a safe, nurturing environment. Educators will:

  • Develop strong, positive bonds;
  • Encourage confidence to explore new surroundings;
  • Spark curiosity through sensory experiences; and
  • Establish helpful routines that support health and wellbeing.

Early Experiences

Toddlers aged 1-3 years

Your toddler will enjoy an exciting environment in which to explore and experiment as their confidence and social skills emerge. Educators will:

  • Introduce literacy and numeracy through learning games;
  • Support self expression through language skills; and 
  • Develop social and friendship skills in group settings.

School Readiness

Children aged 3-5 years

Your child will be given the very best start before they begin primary school! Educators will:

  • Guide self-awareness, self-help skills and socialisation;
  • Investigate literacy, mathematics, science, technology and the arts;
  • Stimulate creativity, deeper thinking and problem solving; and
  • Prepare children for classroom environments through play-based preschool and kindergarten programs.

We offer a government approved kindergarten (also known as kinder or preschool in some states) program and long day care under one roof. This is not only more convenient for you, it helps children prepare for the transition to 'big school', develop a love of learning and make friends.

Our Exclusive Programs

Here at Milestones, we know that all children are capable of realising their full potential if they are in the right environment. That is why we use project-based learning, appropriate technology and enrichment programs to spark the best experiences, and give children the very best start to their lifelong learning journey. These programs are included in the Lifelong Learning Curriculum, and are unique to Affinity Education centres.

Early Years Toolbox

Early Years Toolbox

This information in turn helps educators identify future intentional teaching opportunities.
