Sparrow Early Learning Mount Samson Centre overview
Welcome to Sparrow Early Learning Mount Samson! Our lovely 75 place centre is situated in picturesque Mount Samson, a semi-rural area north-west of Brisbane. We provide early education and care for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years of age divided into four warm and homely rooms: Nursery, Junior Kindy, Senior Kindy and Kindergarten.
Inspired by Reggio Emilia philosophy, our wonderful educators provide a holistic, play-based curriculum that supports the individual needs of each child. Engaging, age-appropriate play spaces are carefully designed to stimulate curiosity, learning and imagination. Educators plan hands-on learning experiences reflective of real life, encouraging learning through meaningful interactions with friends and educators.
Indoor learning spaces feel just like home and are filled with materials and resources that come straight from nature and everyday life. Activities are largely open-ended to allow children to follow their interests, use their imaginations and to stimulate learning through social interactions.
Beautiful outdoor spaces provide further opportunities for imaginative and collaborative play, with children delighting in the unstructured open green spaces, wooden climbing equipment, quiet shady areas and magical gardens. Careful planning and design of outdoor activities ensures all children are adequately supervised at all times.
Our kindergarten program is led by a qualified Early Childhood Teacher. An integrated School Readiness Program ensures children are supported to develop the language, literacy, numeracy and social skills required for a smooth transition to school.
Our team warmly welcomes your enquiries and we look forward to sharing your child’s early learning journey with you.

Meet Sam - Service Manager at Sparrow Early Learning, Mount Samson
I would like to introduce myself, as your new Service Manager, I come to you with 36 years Early Childhood experience. I have worked in the following types of Early Childhood Services – local government services, not for profit services, private services and corporate services.
During this time, I have fulfilled many roles within the industry such as Lead Educator, 2IC, Centre Director/Service Manager, Area Manager, Regional Manager, Director Trainer and Early Childhood Trainer and Assessor. I have a genuine passion for Early Childhood education and the role we play in childrens’ lives.
I strongly believe that as Educators it is our role to nurture, inspire, encourage and challenge children in our care to be the best version of themselves that they can be. We do this through encouraging them to express and challenge themselves and each other. I believe if we provide an environment that is aesthetically appealing to a child, they develop a sense of belonging and want to take part in that environment. I want to create a home away from home. One where the children can be themselves and be accepted for who they are and what they can offer. One where they are respected, valued and recognised for their input and I want this for the educators as well.
I am excited to commence working alongside the educators here at the centre and providing the best quality of care and education that we can for your children and I look forward to meeting you all as the weeks go by.
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.
