Capalaba Child Care & Early Education Centre

Children are born eager to learn. Spurred by curiosity, children conduct their own inquiries and draw their own conclusions. When hands on, child led inquiry, meets active involvement with educators who respond to children's delight, children excel in making meaning of their world. Our educators are our greatest asset.

At Eskay Kids, Capalaba our focus is entirely on our children. We pride ourselves on providing our families and children with the highest quality care and education each and everyday. Our aim for the children and families that walk through our doors is to have a sense of warmth and a homely feel throughout our spaces.

Eskay Kids Springfield is a special place where children experience the joy in every moment of their childhood. Childhood is a time that we often look back on, remembering the moments that shaped us into who we have become today. The first five years of a child's life are the most valuable and will remain with them for a lifetime.

Karana Early Education Centre is a place where "Belonging, Being, Becoming" moves beyond words, into a culture that we live. Aim for people to feel like they are a part of our family the moment they walk in the door.

Building relationships is one of the most important aspects of what we do, creating an atmosphere that is warm and welcoming for children, their families and visitors; a place where children feel loved, safe and secure away from their families.Recognise children's needs for strong attachments to those who care for them, and we make a commitment to get to know each child, take joy from being with them, and make being available to them a priority.

We believe children are competent and capable learners with their own knowledge of the world around them. Therefore, we embrace a play-based curriculum, based upon the principles and outcomes outlined in the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), that provides children with freedom of choice.

We support children to develop at their own pace, whilst encouraging children to share thoughts and ideas, collaborate, explore, experiment, imagine and problem solve.Our programs reflect planned and spontaneous experiences that are purposeful and meaningful. We foster an appreciation of the natural environment and deepen each child's sense of wonder, belonging, love and interconnectedness to the land, nature and animals.
