Our play-based curriculum affords developmentally appropriate experiences that build healthy bodies and brains as children explore actively, engage with others, and have fun. Purposeful indoor and outdoor learning environments foster children’s curiosity and engagement through self-initiated and educator-guided play.
The first five years is a critical and sensitive period for children’s learning and development. At First Five Early Learning Victoria Point, we join with you to establish a secure foundation for your child’s health and wellbeing, learning and development.

About the curriculum
About the curriculum
At First Five Early Learning centres, our programs draw from early childhood education research and evidence-based practice to afford optimal outcomes for learning and development. In our program, educators plan for children’s thinking, providing environments, resources and provocations which promote engagement, deep thinking and learning. Using long blocks of unhurried time, children and educators co-construct curriculum and are co-learners, building on shared questions, ideas and interests to play, discover and learn.
Arts-based learning is foregrounded in our program. Learning through the arts provides children with a language to express their knowledge, ideas and experiences. The creative process is central to a child’s growth and development as it challenges their thinking and imagination. Through the creative arts, children build on their resilience through risk-taking, experimentation and problem-solving. The creative process affords enjoyment, intellectual and emotional satisfaction, perception, physical coordination, opportunities for individual and group experiences, and scope for individual and collaborative creative expression. Through arts-based learning, children draw on and represent literacy, numeracy and STEM concepts and skills.
Health and nutrition
Health and nutrition
Our Centre Chef, Jess, prepares fresh, nutritious meals daily in line with Nutrition Australia requirements and guidelines. Individual children’s allergy profiles and preferences are catered for to ensure safety and positive food experiences.Jess engages with the children around ingredients, food preparation and taste.
Newly installed vegetable and herb gardens in our playground provide opportunities for the children to work with Nan around planting, harvesting, and preparing fresh ingredients for mealtimes.
As eating is a social practice, our educators sit with children during mealtimes to talk about the meal and share stories of home and community. We offer progressive mealtimes for older children during morning and afternoon tea to ensure play is uninterrupted and mealtimes unhurried.
Kindergarten/Preschool Programs
Kindergarten/Preschool Programs
Our service offers the Queensland Government approved ‘Free Kindy’ Program, delivered by an experienced bachelor-qualified early childhood teacher. Within our play-based kindergarten program we celebrate what it means to be 4, and support children to develop foundational skills for learning, school and life. Added benefits of our kindergarten program include extended hours of care, and access 52 weeks of the year. We offer 9-hour, 10-hour, and all day sessions.
To support your child’s transition to school, we focus on 5 foundational skill sets for early learners as part of the kindergarten program:
1. Physical skills to build strength in movement patterns linked to writing, reading, and coping with the physical demands of the school day.
2. Social skills to establish, maintain and enjoy friendships, and work collaboratively with others.
3. Emotional skills to identify, label and understand emotions, leading to self-regulation.
4. Oral language skills as the basis for learning to read and write and communicate effectively.
5. Dispositions for learning required to be a successful learner including curiosity, confidence, problem-solving, persistence, concentration, and cooperation.
Pre-reading and pre-writing skills are central to learning in the kindergarten year, with our skilled teachers promoting a love of stories and storytelling, mark-making and emergent writing, and early mathematical skills including patterning, sequencing, and counting. Engagement with literacy and numeracy concepts is embedded within all learning experiences and across all play spaces.
Within our kindergarten program, children access specialist learning, including Clay, STEM and Nature experinces. These experiences afford deep engagement with project work, small group learning, and opportunities to extend on learning both indoors and outdoors using a range of materials and techniques.

I am very disappointed with the care my 2-year-old child received at First Five Early Learning Victoria Point. Despite my child's specific needs related to hearing and communication, I found that the staff were not equipped to support him adequately. Instead of understanding his challenges, I frequently received calls about behavioural issues, often after only two hours of attendance. This year alone, my child has had five different educators, which is not conducive to a stable learning environment for a young child. The constant changes in staff made it difficult for him to build trusting relationships and receive consistent support. I feel like my son was excluded and rejected by this childcare, which is heartbreaking as a parent. When I raised concerns about the lack of support and suggested that the issue may lie within the educational system, the response was dismissive. Ultimately, I was offered to end care immediately, which left me feeling unheard and unsupported. This situation has deeply affected my family, and I have unfortunately my wife lost her job due to these ongoing issues. I would not recommend First Five Early Learning Victoria Point to other parents who are seeking a nurturing and understanding environment for their children. Read more

Our experience with this daycare was incredibly disappointing. There was constant change in staff in our child’s room, with many being from agencies, and we were never formally introduced to any new staff members. The lack of consistency created a stressful environment for our child, and communication was poor—many of our emails were left unanswered. Staff constantly leaving also does make you wonder why they leave… One of the most concerning incidents was when our child was left crying at the fence for more than 10 minutes at drop-off, with no emotional support provided. At this age, co-regulation is so important, but it felt completely disregarded here. Since taking our child out, he has become much more anxious and stressed. We expected far better care and attention and would not recommend this center to any parent looking for a stable and supportive environment for their child. Read more
