A few words from our Centre Director, Tamara

I believe a strong, motivated team of Early childhood Educators helps children to experience an easier transition into a new environment. I am building a team where our core value is to inspire all children to grow to be competent and confident young learners who are healthy in mind, body and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and secure in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to their community.

We believe you are your child’s first teacher. When we work collaboratively together, we help build strong learning foundations for your child.

Welcome

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. 

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.

'I can’t rate this centre enough. The teachers are absolutely amazing with my daughter. Tamara and Amy have been absolutely amazing as well. Always going above and beyond to help where they can and support my child’s needs and wants.'
Leslie from Karana Downs
'Such an amazing centre. Tamara and the team have made being a working mum a breeze. No problem is to little for their attention, my daughter is thriving, they put in the extra effort with events and mother’s days gifts and it is so lovely. When we first transitioned over they were more than happy for me to sit in their coffee area that they provide for the parents and work for a few hours to help my little one get used to the new area. 10/10 would recommend.'
Rachael from Karana Downs
'We have had the most amazing experience transitioning our little one to Edge Karana Downs from another centre. The team have taken all of my worry away with their calm, supportive and fun approach. Cannot recommend this centre enough ❤️'
Sarah from Karana Downs
'Edge Early Learning at Karana Downs is the perfect balance of modern design, safe and educational play and most importantly, the staff are like a second family for our kids. The new design includes outdoor learning areas with excellent shade cover, so the children are safely outside a lot of the day, with great play spaces and really well kept native gardens. Edge promote respect for diversity and indigenous culture, and inclusion for everyone. Safe body language is also a big focus. I am also impressed by the consideration for safety across different ages: nursery, toddlers and kindy have different zoned areas of play, keeping little ones safe but included in fun. Lastly the food options are great, especially the consideration for allergies and intolerances. We only needed one tour and a chat with Tamara to know it was right for our family.'
Steph from Karana Downs
Edge Early Learning Karana Downs is everything you want in a childcare centre and more! Everyone is so friendly, helpful and professional. Tamara has been so accommodating and has gone out of her way on numerous occasions to assist us. Miss Tammy, Rebecca and all the staff are absolutely wonderful. It’s tough parting with your baby and the team here has helped to not only make it a smooth transition but a really fun and exciting experience. My son absolutely adores them and I cannot rave about them enough! If your looking for somewhere trustworthy, reliable, wholesome and that feels like part of the fam, then look no further.
