Why Families love Edge Kindy

This place is amazing, The staff are so lovely and friendly, My daughter wants to go to Kindy now and is always happy to be there, her teachers are awesome they greet her in the morning, she enjoys her time there, and tells me all about it on our way home.

Kristy from Waterford West

Our son recently started Kindy here, and the way he settled in so quickly speaks volumes about the loving, supportive environment the team has created. From day one, the educators made him feel welcome, safe, and excited to learn. It’s such a joy to see him come home with a big smile, sharing stories about his day and the new things he’s discovered.

Balwant from North Harbour

I have 3 children who attend or have attended the centre. The Kindergarten program is excellent, Henry the program leader is amazing and my son was more than prepared for school this year. Such a beautiful centre where my kids have all different types of adventures.

Trish from Bilinga

My daughter always loves coming to Kindy to see her educators and other classmates. The staff are always friendly and the communication on the app is 5/5. I would recommend to friends and family.

Nick from Pimpama Village

The staff at Edge are what make it a special place. Both of my girls have attended Edge and it’s the Educators that really set it apart from other centres. Many of the educators have been there for a long time and share the same caring and inspiring approach to educating young children. The Kindy program helps set graduating children up for success. I highly recommend Edge Aroona.

Shannan from Aroona

My son has attended the Kindergarten program for the past year and I have seen incredible differences with his behaviour as well as his knowledge. The educators are fantastic, always engaged with the children and providing them with stimulating activities to enhance their education!

Montana from Peregian Springs

My youngest has just graduated from Kindy from Edge Cannon Hill and we've used the service for 3 years, starting a few months after the centre opened. I have been very pleased with the centre and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to family and friends.

Emerald from Cannon Hill

My child recently completed kindergarten, and I'm grateful for the incredible care and education they received. The educators are truly dedicated, communicative, and passionate about their work. They kept me informed about my child's progress, learning, and development activities, which were always engaging and fun. I've witnessed significant improvements in my child's skills and confidence.

Turning over a new leaf in education

Edge’s bespoke education program ‘Teach A Rainbow’ underpins learning in all our Queensland Kindergartens. Our centres set children up for the best start to school through equal focus on cognitive, physical, social and emotional development through both play-based and structured learning.

Our education program is aligned with the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline (QKLG), Early Years Learning Framework V2.0 (EYLF), and National Quality Standards (NQS). The EYLF focuses on the importance of play-based learning to guide children towards achieving developmental goals across the following five learning outcomes:

Children have a strong sense of identity

Children are connected with and contribute to their world

Children have a strong sense of wellbeing

Children are confident and informed learners

Children are effective communicators

Discover the best place for your child to discover themselves.
