“At Community Kids Broadbeach Waters, we make children feel loved, welcomed, and valued, fostering a sense of belonging and building their confidence. ”

My early learning career began in 2007, and I have been working at Community Kids Broadbeach Waters ever since. I love children and enjoy watching them grow. It is incredibly rewarding to see their development each day and have a meaningful impact on their lives.

In my career, I’ve learned that each child is unique and deserves to be nurtured as an individual. I want our children to learn and grow at their own pace, naturally developing their talents and personalities. I believe in taking the time to understand each child’s needs to help them succeed. At Community Kids Broadbeach Waters, we make children feel loved, welcomed, and valued, fostering a sense of belonging and building their confidence.

In a dedicated early learning environment, children learn to socialise and communicate better. They learn to share spaces, attention, and toys, growing more independently than they might at home. They quickly develop skills by observing and interacting with their peers.

Our team is loving and caring, with excellent communication among families, team members, and children. We pride ourselves on being inclusive, as we come from diverse cultures and backgrounds. We regularly communicate with our families, and I am always here to support them. We welcome suggestions and feedback for continuous improvement.

We can’t wait to welcome you to our Broadbeach Waters early learning centre.

Our innovative early learning programs

At our early learning centre in Broadbeach Waters, our play-based curriculum is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), supporting children to learn through play, exploration and discovery.

Sustainability

Children develop respect for the environment through gardening, recycling and nature-based learning. Educators also introduce the interconnected aspects of sustainability, including environmental, social and economic, through concepts like fairness, sharing and community.

Community Engagement

Throughout the year we have members from our Broadbeach Waters community visit the centre. This may include the police department and nearby schools as well as encouraging families and grandparents to visit the centre and join in daily activities.

Social and emotional learning

Children develop a strong sense of identity as they feel safe, secure and supported, building confidence, resilience and a positive sense of self. Through group activities, conversations and play, children learn to interact with others with care, empathy and respect, building positive relationships and friendships.

Independence and life skills

Children develop autonomy, interdependence, resilience and a sense of agency through meaningful participation in everyday routines, such as preparing snack, caring for plants, and tidying shared spaces.

Age-appropriate early learning

See more I am writing to share what we consider in our opinion a serious safety concern that we experienced at this centre. During a tour to another centre, our 2-year-old daughter picked up a sharp metal nail/tack from a table in one of the older rooms. This was particularly concerning, as she often puts things in her mouth and small, sharp objects such as these pose a significant choking hazard. Before touring Community Kids Broadbeach Waters, my husband raised these concerns with the Centre Manager, Mariana, both over the phone and in person. She assured us that there were no nails or sharp objects in the 2.5 to 3.5-year-old room. However, when we arrived on our daughter’s first day at Community Kids Broadbeach Waters, we were dismayed to find children from the next door, older room at a table playing with a hammer and nail/tack set, with these small metal pieces scattered across the table. It only takes a few seconds for a smaller child to grab one of these and create a very serious issue! This situation not only contradicts Education and Care Services National Regulations but also basic common sense. The product labelling clearly states that it is only suitable for children aged 4 and older and warns of a serious small part choking hazard (see images of a similar set). In summary, we were shocked to discover this. Although the Manager apologised, we were very unimpressed with her excuses and seemingly relaxed attitude toward safety, especially given that we had clearly expressed our concerns directly to her beforehand. As a result we immediately pulled our daughter out of this centre before she even started because we had no confidence in her safety there. We hope this review serves as a warning to other concerned families considering this centre.

On the day of the tour, you can observe practices and interactions within the centre environment. You’ll be able to see all the rooms and playgrounds, ask the team members any questions you have in mind, and get all the information you need to make the best decision for your child.

Enrolling is simple, and our Family Support Team will guide you through each step.

First, find your local centre and book a tour so you can meet the team and explore the learning environment. If the centre is the right fit and a place is available, you’ll receive an enrolment offer for your child. If a place is not currently available in your child’s age group, we can add your child to the waitlist and keep you updated.

To finalise your enrolment, you’ll complete an online enrolment form through a secure link sent by our Family Support Team. You’ll also need to provide key details and documents, including your child’s birth certificate, Medicare details, immunisation history statement and, if eligible, your Child Care Subsidy details.

Before your child’s first day, you may be invited to attend a Stay and Play session. This gives your child time to explore the centre, meet their educators, and start feeling comfortable in their new environment. Once your paperwork is complete, your child is ready to start their early learning journey with us.

Read our step-by-step guide on how to enrol here.

Starting child care is a big milestone, and a little preparation can help your child feel more comfortable and confident.

Before your child’s first day, you can talk positively about their new centre, explain what their day might look like, and practise small routines such as packing their bag, saying goodbye, washing hands and sitting down for meals. You may also like to visit the centre with your child, meet their educators and ask our team about what to bring on the first day.

When your child starts, our educators will take the time to get to know your child’s routine, interests, comfort items and individual needs. Settling in looks different for every child, so we work closely with families to help children feel safe, supported and ready to learn.

Learn more about our Settling-in Program.

Most of our child care and early education centres offer nappies and wipes, sunscreen and hats, as well as nutritious meals prepared by our in-house cook. Some centres also provide sheets and formula, so you may not need to remember to pack them.

For nursery children, be sure to bring: nappy rash cream, dummies, bottles and teats, comfort toys or blankets, three spare outfits and spare socks.

For toddlers and preschool or kindergarten-aged children, it’s best to bring: spare underwear, water bottle or sippy cup, sun hat, closed-toe shoes, two spare outfits and spare socks.

Plus, anything else your individual child may need, such as breast milk, a sleeping bag, a comforter or medication.

It’s best to speak to your centre of choice for a full list of everything included.

Community Kids uses Xplor Home as our family communication app. It is the best and easiest way to keep track of your child’s day.

After you enrol your child with the centre, you can utilise Xplor Home to book child care days, manage your account, receive the photographs that capture your child’s learning, learn about your child’s progress, as well as keep up-to-date with upcoming centre events and important information.

If your child shows signs of an infectious illness when they arrive at the centre or becomes sick during the day, you may be notified that you need to make alternative arrangements or pick up your child from the centre and keep them home until they are no longer infectious. While we understand that this can be inconvenient, Community Kids is committed to maintaining a healthy environment and reducing the risk of infection for all children.

Under the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), families are allowed 42 absence days per child, per financial year. These can be taken for any reason, including public holidays and when children are sick, without requiring families to provide documentation.

We look forward to welcoming your family.
