Finding the right early learning centre for your little one can be stressful
Our Dakabin campus is a 75 place centre. We provide childcare and early learning education from 6 weeks of age through to school age. We have 5 rooms with large outdoor areas for the children to explore. Our campus prides itself on the amazing relationships we build with families, always encouraging their input and to become more involved within the centre and community.
Our Educators are passionate about early years education, providing all children with quality care in all areas of the National Quality Standards.

We know the decision to place your little one in the care of others is a big one. These are some of the questions we are frequently asked. Please do not hesitate to call our kindergarten on 07 3491 8059 to discuss your child’s requirements in detail.
Homely Environment
Homely Environment
Each of our centres is unique but they all quickly become your child’s home-away-from-home. At Day One, we understand that children learn best in a space where they feel happy and safe. With highly engaging spaces to learn, explore and unwind, our learning environments spark curiosity and confidence.

We have developed a number of bespoke Day One educational programs to prepare children for the opportunities and challenges of life beyond Day One. Our programs are incorporated into your child’s daily routine at Day One and are guided by their own interests. The DO Programs include DO Social, DO Health, DO Language, DO Knowledge, DO Creative, DO Planet and DO Kindy.
Excursions For All Ages
Excursions For All Ages
Day One World Explorers are often seen out and about exploring the community and environment in which we live. This includes everyone, from babies through to kindergarten. We encourage parents to participate in these excursions where possible too. The real benefit of excursions is that they provide real-life experiences that cannot be replicated in our centres or even at home.
Community Engagement
Community Engagement
Engaging in our local communities plays a paramount role in supporting children to develop feelings of belonging and security. Additionally, as children grow and develop, authentic relationships with the outer world helps them to find their place and leads them to understand shared values and how society works.
