Sparrow Early Learning Victoria Point is situated in bayside Brisbane among many local schools within walking distance of the centre.
We have 5 indoor learning studios within the service that caters for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years with our occupancy being 75 children per day.
Our Toddler and Babies studios offer unique, tranquil sleep rooms with our Toddler studio providing individual sleigh beds and our Babies studio equipped with timber cots and mattresses for a comfortable and peaceful rest period. Our senior playground boasts a large outdoor play space for the children to explore, imagine and develop whilst building on their sense of belonging and agency. In our Junior playground, we have a spacious shaded outdoor space for the younger age groups to explore safely whilst engaging in positive relationships.
Here at Sparrow Early Learning Victoria Point, we pride ourselves on our great relationships with our families and community, and we welcome their contributions in all areas of learning, including service decisions. We like to work with our families as co-educators and we greatly value their input as we believe that families are the first teachers of their children.
We are passionate about our community involvement and making a positive difference to demonstrate the change we want to see in the world.
Our service has a loving, warm environment where children can feel safe, secure and supported during their time with us. We acknowledge each child is unique and let all children learn and develop at their own pace.
All of our Educators are qualified and passionate about Early Childhood Education and Care. They aim to provide the best quality care in all areas of the National Quality Standards and work alongside the children as co-learners to achieve learning and developmental outcomes for all children through child-led, play-based learning. We are passionate about Early Education and the positive impact it has on the children we care for. We collaborate with families to provide all children with the foundations for life-long learning so they can become the best they can be.
Alongside our team, we have a qualified Early Childhood Teacher who delivers a government approved Kindergarten Program to our kindergarten age children. Our goal is to ensure our kindergarten children are best prepared to transition to prep through social and emotional development through community connections with local schools and introducing a school readiness program to guide the children towards their next learning journey.

About the curriculum
About the curriculum
“The Sparrow Way combines proven international early learning methods to create a unique and purposefully contemporary practice designed for today’s society. Guided by the principles of Reggio Emilia childcare and underpinned by The Early Years Framework for Australia, we embrace children’s inherent abilities to learn and develop, creating an environment for them to find solutions through exploration, discovery and invention, marveling in everything around them. The Sparrow Way is our method of working with children based on these beliefs and principles.”
- The Sparrow Early Education Team
The Sparrow curriculum is thoughtfully planned by our educators and shaped by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). Being guided by the EYLF and National Quality Standards (NQS) ensures we offer high quality learning programs that are responsive to children’s ideas, interests, strengths and abilities.
Programs are play-based, child-driven and inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach with a strong emphasis on nature and outdoor learning experiences. Educators carefully design environments that stimulate curiosity and provide opportunities for hands-on learning experiences that are reflective of real life.
Play is viewed as a powerful tool for children to explore, discover and make meaning of the world around them. Activities are largely open-ended, providing a wide variety of natural resources and materials which stimulate imagination and foster creativity, problem-solving and meaningful interactions with friends and educators.
Children are encouraged to express themselves through various mediums, such as art, music and dramatic play, allowing them to develop a deep sense of autonomy, confidence and joy in their learning journey.
Parent communication and involvement
Parent communication and involvement
The Sparrow team values the role of families as children’s most important teachers and our educators foster positive and collaborative relationships with families. Parents are encouraged to contribute their ideas for programming, learning activities and the overall operation of the service.
Our inclusive open-door policy welcomes parents to visit our service, engage in discussions with educators and participate in children's learning. Our educators maintain open and continuous communication with families, ensuring a strong connection between the children's home learning environment and their educational experiences at the centre. During pick-up and drop-off times, educators are readily available to engage with families and gladly share insights into the children's progress, well-being and participation.
The use of the Storypark communication app provides daily updates, photos, and videos, fostering regular connections between educators and families. Parents also receive frequent communication through emails, newsletters, displays, notices, information evenings, special events, and Facebook.

Sparrow Early Learning centres provide high quality kindergarten/preschool programs led by qualified Early Childhood Teachers. While the curriculum remains play-based, these programs follow a more structured approach to teaching and learning experiences to prepare children for transitioning into a primary school environment. There is a careful balance maintained between child-led and teacher-led learning activities.
Our Early Childhood Teachers cater to the individual needs of each child and in collaboration with parents, ensure that children are adequately equipped with the skills and experience required for a smooth transition to “big school”. Ongoing assessment of children’s progress and development is carefully documented and communicated with families and transition statements can be shared with future schools to facilitate a smooth transition to school.
Attending kindergarten/preschool at their familiar Sparrow Early Learning centre makes the transition from the long day care setting less intimidating and children can continue their early learning journey in a safe and familiar environment, surrounded by friends and familiar educators. It also means families can enjoy the flexibility of extended care hours and continued care during school holiday periods. All meals and snacks are provided, adding to the convenience for busy families.
