About the Centre

Edge Early Learning Karana Downs is our purpose-built early learning centre located behind Mount Crosby State School. We provide quality child care and education tailored to children from 6 weeks to school age.

At Karana Down’s childcare centre, we are passionate about the health and well-being of children, which is why our program promotes healthy eating and active lifestyles. Our custom-designed centre features indoor-outdoor learning spaces that enable children to harness their learning potential in a space that suits their interests. 

Our Teach A Rainbow education program is a nurturing approach designed to support your child’s curiosity, creativity, and essential developmental skills. We implement an inquiry-based approach where children are encouraged to ask questions, explore new interests and develop a love of learning through play-based experiences. With a focus on a successful transition to school, each child receives a personalised program to provide the best early learning experience and aid in their growth and development.
