Why Families Choose Children First Early Education
Child Safety & Security You Can Trust
At Children First Early Education, your child’s safety and wellbeing are our highest priority. Our centres feature comprehensive CCTV surveillance, with cameras operating throughout the centre to help ensure a secure and transparent environment. In addition to advanced security systems, our strict sign-in procedures, secure entry points, and vigilant supervision policies mean families can feel confident their children are safe, supported, and cared for at all times.
A Transformative Educational Approach Thanks to The Abecedarian Approach Australia (3a)
We are proud to deliver a transformative early childhood education experience through The Abecedarian Approach Australia (3a). This evidence-based teaching method focuses on rich, meaningful interactions between Educators and children, supporting language development, emotional wellbeing, and lifelong learning skills. Through daily practices such as conversational reading, learning games, and intentional one-on-one time, our Educators nurture every child’s curiosity and confidence — helping them thrive both now and into the future.
A Home-Like, Nurturing Environment
Each Children First Early Education centre is designed and purpose-built to feel like a warm and welcoming home-away-from-home, helping children feel comfortable and confident as they learn. Our Educators focus on building strong, trusting relationships that support every child’s individual journey.
Educational Programs for Every Age
We offer enriching programs for children from 6 weeks to school age, including our Government-approved Kindergarten and Preschool Program, led by qualified Early Childhood Teachers. Through play-based learning, children build strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional development, preparing them for a confident transition to traditional schooling.
Purpose-Built Centres with Large, Modern Spaces
Designed with early learning in mind, our centres feature spacious indoor and outdoor play areas, dedicated learning zones, and natural resources that encourage creativity, curiosity, and active exploration.
All-Inclusive Childcare Fees
At Children First Early Education, families enjoy peace of mind knowing that everything their child needs throughout the day is included, from nutritious meals and nappies to extracurricular activities and educational incursion programs.
Plan ahead for 2026 and Take advantage of the Government’s 3-Day Guarantee
From 5 January 2026 the Australian Government will introduce a 3-Day Guarantee that changes how the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is applied, guaranteeing eligible families at least three days a week (72 hours per fortnight) of subsidised early childhood education and care. This reform replaces the previous activity-test approach and is designed to make childcare more accessible and affordable for families.
4 Weeks Free Offer
