Leading Edge Childcare is focused on ensuring each child has the opportunity to explore and develop their own identity through play based learning.

To realise the potential of all children, our service provides a nurturing, secure and stimulating learning environment, one that promotes happiness and a strong desire to learn. The primary aim is for children to increase their understanding of the world in which they live through development of broadly based knowledge, skills and attitudes that enable them to take the prerequisite steps in preparation for lifelong learning.

Our passionate and qualified educators design, implement and evaluate innovative and challenging programs that reflect the most contemporary early childhood theory and research that is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework.

We believe that working closely, and building partnerships with families is vital, so children feel like we are an extension of their family home. We acknowledge family values and beliefs which welcomes diversity into our program.

Leading Edge Childcare Kallangur is a purpose-built childcare centre licensed for 80 children per day. The service opened to the community in January 2023. As this was a new centre build, our company was able to create and have input into our vision by designing large natural play spaces indoors and outdoors.

As this was a new centre build, our company was able to create and have input into our vision by designing large natural play spaces indoors and outdoors catering to children aged 6 weeks to 5 years for our Long Day Care, and 5 to 12 years for our Outside School Hours and Vacation Care.

Our centre design allows our Nursery studio, an outdoor play space that is adjacent to their studio giving them the opportunity to engage in indoor/outdoor play throughout the day, or a space to lay inside and watch the world go by through the large glass sliding doors.

Our Toddler, Junior Kindy, Pre Kindy and Kindy studios are spacious environments, with large, screened doors that open up onto an outdoor alfresco area and play space that can be accessed all year round. Within this play space there are sensory and vegetable gardens, where the children enjoy weekly gardening classes, and learning about becoming a more sustainable community.

Our Pre-Kindy and Kindergarten studios enjoy a large natural play space that leads off from their studios, with a winding bike path, cubby houses and opportunities for them to develop their fine and gross motor skills.

All of our studios have aircon, as well as ceiling fans and large screened doors for natural ventilation.

All-inclusive to our daily fees are a variety of weekly programs including music, yoga, and bush kindy. We also work closely with local primary schools and have a pre-prep program to support our kindergarten studio’s transition to school. At an additional cost, we also provide Swimming Lessons to children aged 3yrs and older.

To make your drop-offs easier we supply all breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and late snacks with our qualified chef, and nappies, wipes and sunscreen are included in the daily fee.
