The Pines Childcare

Play is the focus of all programs offered at Samford Pines. Programs are play based, child centred, hands on and designed to foster the holistic development of each child. All programs are underpinned by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). Our programs celebrate diversity, creativity and kindness and are rich in the centre's values, which are embedded throughout the curriculum.

Our indoor learning environments are purposefully set up to support children in experiencing a sense of belonging and security. Spaces are flexible and are shaped through shared observations and reflections. A variety of open-ended materials are provided to trigger a sense of wonder, foster development, promote learning, and provoke investigations and intentional teaching moments.

We employ a team of qualified, enthusiastic, skilled and experienced early childhood professionals who are committed and dedicated to working in the early childhood education and care industry. Each member of our team is viewed as a key person in the learning and development of each child.

We strive to foster and support quality interactions and the building of quality relationships to provide children with the best possible support, education and care.We provide a working environment where our educators are recognised and acknowledged for their efforts and dedication to the children and their families, our service and its programs, the local community and the wider early childhood sector.

To enrol your child at Samford Pines Early Learning Centre, please place your child on our waiting list by contacting the centre. Preferably, this can be done by visiting us at the centre and submitting the necessary forms. This also gives us the chance to get to know you in order to ensure that our environment is the right one for your child and family.
