Uniting Early Learning QLD – Frenchville QLD

Join us on a casual basis with the opportunity for permanency

What sets us apart:

At Uniting Early Learning Illoura, we provide a warm, values-based environment where children can make friends, explore, and develop skills that will support them now and throughout their schooling. Our long daycare and government-approved Kindergarten program celebrate play-based learning, with educators making full use of our sprawling outdoor space to create rich learning experiences. Here, children can dig in the organic garden, cook in the mud kitchen, and discover the bush tucker area, all while surrounded by leafy trees, real grass, and natural landscapes. With a fabulous onsite cook serving nutritious, delicious meals—including vegetarian options—and a small, community-focused setting catering to just 56 children, we ensure every child receives the individual attention they deserve. As an "Exceeding" rated centre by ACECQA, we are committed to delivering exceptional early education and care in a nurturing, nature-filled environment.
