Green Leaves Early Learning Kirwan Centre overview
Located on Elphinstone Drive, this double-storey centre has been custom-designed to meet the evolving learning needs of children 6 weeks to 6 years of age.
As you enter Green Leaves Kirwan, you’ll find the state-of-the-art Chef’s kitchen and culinary lesson area as well as the family lounge where families can catch up with each other, or with the centre's Educators over fresh barista-made coffee and a baked treat.
At Green Leaves Early Learning Kirwan, their all-inclusive fees provide convenience and peace of mind. Nappies, linen, hats, nutritious meals, and snacks as well as activities such as yoga and music classes, and even visiting shows and excursions are included.
Each of the learning hubs are bright and inviting, filled with rich, warm timber resources and thoughtfully selected educational resources. Outdoors, the children particularly enjoy adventures around the bike track and playfully stopping in at the cubby house for a bite to eat. For the green thumbs, the edible gardens provide countless hours of eco-education and fun.
Green Leaves Kirwan offers an approved and funded Kindy program, aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline (QKLF). The centre's Kindy program is led by a Bachelor-qualified Early Childhood Teacher.

About the curriculum
About the curriculum
6 weeks - 12 months
Our Educators partner with families to ensure each baby’s routine is personalised to meet their individual needs. The nursery children take part in activities within a stimulating learning environment and enjoy group time during their music and movement program, or visits from special guests. Throughout the day, they enjoy taking part in songs and storytelling, sensory activities, and messy play in our light-filled learning hubs. Under the guidance of their Educators, the nursery children enjoy nutritious Chef-prepared meals. During rest time, the nursery children have a nap under a twinkling night sky, accompanied by tranquil music which creates the perfect ambience for quality rest.
2 years - 3 years
Our toddlers enjoy a daily rhythmic routine which assists them to transition between activities throughout the day such as music and movement, yoga, culinary lessons, painting, drawing, singing and dancing, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) based activities. As they learn about the wider world around them, the toddlers are guided by our Educators to cherish and protect the natural world through the centre’s sustainability program. Performing daily, predictable tasks while having fun encourages toddlers to build their self-confidence, communication and social skills. During mealtimes, the toddlers enjoy nutritious Chef-prepared meals to fuel their active, growing bodies.
3 years - 4 years
Our Pre-Kindy program is designed to provide curious three-year-olds with a well-rounded play-based learning experience. Supported by qualified and experienced Educators, the children learn key skills such as creative thinking and problem-solving, develop social and emotional skills, as well as early literacy and language skills - which lays the groundwork for success later in life. Throughout the day, the children engage in activities that include literacy and numeracy games, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) activities to encourage children to think creatively and critically. During mealtimes, the children enjoy nutritious Chef-prepared meals to fuel their active, growing bodies.
4 years - 6 years
Foundational life skills are pivotal in our Kindy curriculum and underpin the Positive School Transition programs we offer our children. Our Kindy learning journey celebrates the children’s individuality and encourages their love of learning through inspiring and quality play-based opportunities to help them develop memory skills, language and self-regulation, supporting the transition to school and academic learning later on in life. The children also enjoy yoga, visits from special guests, and regular excursions to local parklands. Mealtimes are an opportunity for the children to enjoy social interactions with their friends and Educators, as well as learn about body awareness and nutrition. Practicing independence, the children help to set up, serve, and clear away their dining area. Throughout the day, the Kindy children engage in activities that include literacy and numeracy games, outdoor fun, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math). The active Kindy children particularly enjoy the outdoor adventures around the bike track, building volcanoes in the sandpit or expanding their green thumb knowledge, through cultivating the edible gardens that provide countless hours of eco-education and fun.

Amazing centre. After having so many issues at another centre we made the move and have not looked back. Our son loves going... Amazing centre. After having so many issues at another centre we made the move and have not looked back. Our son loves going here. The carers are second to none. Every morning coming in they all know his name and anyone seems to be able to tell you about his day even carers from other rooms. The carers are consistent with little to no staff turnover seemingly. Everyone is friendly. I can be 100 percent confident leaving our son every morning that he is so well looked after and educated.
