The BEST School Readiness Programs in Wateranga QLD

Bears and Books Early Learning and Childcare Service is located in a quiet residential community. Our service is family owned and managed with a dedicated and nurturing team of educators, some of which have been in the centre for over a decade. All our rooms align with an Early Years Learning Framework with sensory and play based learning opportunities focused on being ready for school. Our Storypark platform and community events ensure open and clear communication which helps us to tailor each program to individual child and family needs, interests and strengths. We balance indoor and outdoor, active and passive, structured and spontaneous play and environments recognising that each child is unique but still require a nurturing environment to create the best outcomes for children, families and communities. With regular incursions, excursions and community participation, we are able to deepen relationships between our service and the community.

At Cradle to Crayons Education & Care in Bundaberg, we welcome children aged from 6 weeks to 6 years old to our long day centre. Through play-based activities, your child will learn to explore essential life skills, such as literacy, numeracy, motor skills and creativity. In our natural play areas, children get to socialise in a safe and monitored environment, while playing and learning. Our child care educators in Bundaberg are given ongoing training, allowing them to maintain our quality practices with Queensland Government-approved educational programs. You'll receive updates on your child's progress, getting to see what they get up to during the day while in our care. We recommend touring our Bundaberg long day care facility to ensure it's the best fit for both you and your child. Please contact our team today to discuss placement.
