Search Light Early Learning Centre

Search light early learning centre

At the Search Light Early Learning Centre, we empower young families by creating an inclusive community where every child belongs, learns, and grows towards a bright future.

We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to a quality early education that is accessible, inclusive, and tailored to their individual needs.

We provide high-quality, inclusive early childhood education and care, and family support services, tailored to the needs of young families.

Our centre offers a play-based curriculum. We believe that child directed, voluntary, internally motivated, fun, learning experiences allow for children to learn more effectively, and just as importantly, develop a lifelong love for learning.

Our staff are highly qualified, holding Diploma-level qualifications, and bring extensive experience in supporting young families navigating complex life challenges.

Location

We are located at 153 Lister Street, Sunnybank 4109, on the grounds of Carinity Education – Southside; a special assistance school providing a supportive learning environment for young women.

We are open between 8:30am and 3:30pm each weekday, during school terms. Childcare is available between 9:00am and 3:00pm and limited hours during school holidays.
