We believe in fun and play-based learning here at Hillbrook Early Learning Centre and strive to provide a safe and caring environment that fosters experimentation, investigation & agency. We recognise the importance of developing the whole child – physically, socially, cognitively, emotionally and spiritually while fulfilling Hillbrook’s motto of “In Balance We Grow”.

We offer 25 places for children from six (6) weeks to school age, across two multi-aged rooms:

Our Tadpole room has a maximum of 8 children, aged between 6 weeks and 3 years with two educators.
The Tree Frog room consists of 16 children aged 3 – 5 years with two educators. Our Tree Frog room offers a Queensland Government Approved Kindergarten Program for all children who turn 4 years of age before 30 June in the current year.
