Welcome to
Gaythorne
Our childcare centre has been designed to serve the Gaythorne, Mitchelton, Enoggera, Alderley, Everton Park, Keperra and Grange communities with high-quality childcare and early education services.
Our vision for Children First Gaythorne is that children always come first. All our decision making is centred around ensuring the needs, development, and wellbeing of the child is always our first priority.
Our purpose-built centre will cater for 164 children from 6 weeks to school age, across 10 spacious and modern classrooms, designed specifically for each age group: Nursery, Tiny Tots, Toddlers, Junior Kindy, Pre-Kindy and Kindergarten. Our Children First Gaythorne centre also has a dedicated ACE (Autism Connect Early) classroom to deliver an early intervention program designed for children on the autism spectrum.
Our modern classrooms are equipped with high quality, natural educational resources, chosen to complement our curriculum and support your child’s learning journey. Within our classrooms, you will discover smaller spaces designed to make children feel secure and truly at home, including home corner, reading nooks, art studio spaces, floor & table activities and other inspiring play zones. These carefully curated spaces foster meaningful interactions between our children and Educators, promoting quality engagement and learning experiences.
At Children First, we believe that children learn best through play. We hand-pick all the resources in our classrooms to ensure they complement our curriculum, build on your child’s interests and development, and enhance their learning experience.
The large outdoor area at Children First Gaythorne provides children with the space for big movements like running, jumping, kicking and throwing, which is very important for fitness and physical development. From sandpits and bike tracks, to custom adventure forts and vegetable gardens - your little one is going to have so much fun exploring and playing in our beautiful outdoor playscapes.
Centrally located only a short drive from Brookside Shopping Centre, Children First Gaythorne services the local communities of Gaythorne, Mitchelton, Enoggera, Alderly, Everton Park, Keperra and Grange with its early education and childcare services. Located on Bere Street (which is just off Samford Road), our long day care centre provides a convenient stop for families on the way to work and has plenty of onsite carparking for easy drop offs and pick ups. We are also located near various primary schools, including Mitchelton State School, Our Lady of Dolours School, and Enoggera State School.
