Looking for the most caring Early Learning Centre for Your Child?

Day One Early Learning Centres really are different. Our family owned and operated boutique early learning centres offer more than just great early education and care at affordable rates.

We take pride in creating homely environments filled with love, fun and learning.

We deliberately keep our centres small so that you and your child become part of our Day One family from day one.

We are passionate about providing your child with the tools they need to be successful in all aspects of their lives.

We combine our strong curriculum and a safe, stimulating environment to create meaningful experiences for your child every day.

Our Day One “World Explorers” program provides safe and rewarding excursions to all age groups.

We can’t wait to welcome you and your child to the Day One family!

If you are interested in visiting one of our centres, please book a tour today.

Finding the right early learning centre for your little one can be stressful

You can choose Day One with confidence, we have the experience, quality educators and a first class curriculum to teach, encourage and inspire your little one.

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.

Kindergarten Program

Kindergarten Program

It is our great privilege to be instrumental in preparing your child to be a calm, confident and curious learner, ready to successfully transition to school. The Kindergarten Program includes informative Parent Evenings because we understand the transition to school is also a big step for parents!

Beautiful Outdoor Area

Beautiful Outdoor Area

At every Day One centre, you will discover large, shaded outdoor playscapes that have been custom-designed with input from our children and families to provide highly engaging areas ready for daily adventures. These can include sand and water play zones, bike tracks, climbing equipment, interactive garden beds, cosy spaces for reading, and lots of space for all children to explore.

DO Curriculum

DO Curriculum

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.

  • This centre is amazing. The new management really listen to any concerns you may have and find solutions. I couldn’t recommend this centre enough to anyone who is after care for their child. The family atmosphere and care they show to every child is beyond.

    Both my kids love going to daycare, not only are their teachers amazing but so are all the educators. Constantly go above and beyond to make both my kids feel happy and safe within the environment. So family friendly and listen to your concerns and needs for your children.

  • My family and I have had a great experience with this centre.

    My children enjoy their time, especially my eldest (8). The staff always keep me informed, they're are always warm and welcoming.

    I really enjoy the after hours activities the centre holds as well such as the movie nights, which was a great way to spend my Friday night with my eldest, and Date Night for Mum and Dad to spend some time without the kids for a few hours on a Friday night. I appreciate it :)

    Thanks for your great work to all the staff at DayOne Edens Landing.

    I needed flexibility due to my work hours changing regularly and from day one the staff have provided me with this, which has enable a perfect work life balance for my family. Two of my children attend this day care and the professionalism has been outstanding since we started mid 2021. My son will start prep next year, leaving my youngest by herself which upsets her dearly already. But I’m so happy to know that next year I can drop both kids off as the staff can take my son to school and pick him up in the afternoon. You guys are my lifesavers!! Could not recommend you enough!! At first glance you may hesitate but trust me this is a winner!! It’s a small centre which has meant my kids are sick less too!

    Highly recommended , staff are friendly and approachable , education is a happy balance for learning children and is delivered in a fun and supportive manner.
    My Grandaughter has been going here since she was 1.5 and is now 4 and loves the teachers and has built great friendships with other kids.
    My favourite part of this care facility is the nutritional meals served throughout the day and the fact teeth brushing is a part of their daily routine. I have experienced different facilities with my other grandchildren and Day One Early Learning at Edens Landing stands above them all .

    Awesome place for your little ones. They helped me when I had no help to get my children to daycare due to car being in an accident and I have been so greatful. The ladies are beautiful and I love speaking to them about my children that go to dayone. You will not be disappointed my children have learned so much and they love love the swimming program. :)

    I could not recommend Day One more. Both my boys have been there for just over 5months. 5yr and 2yr both on the spectrum. Both have made so much progress in the short time that they have been here. They love going everyday and they love every single staff member ❤️

    Our daughter started at the start of June, and she has just fitted in so well. The staff have been amazing with her, she has a great bond with them. They have such a loving feeling towards families. When we did our walk through, the director hit every point and then asked if we had question. Our question? When can she start? We knew this was going to be a great fit for our daughter, and even better was they do before & after school care which our older children have done with them. The kids think it's great. Our kids have made great connections with the staff there and we look forward to the rest of our journey with them.

    Thanks for everything you do for the kids at the centre

    Both of my boys attend this incredible facility at DayOne ELC Mission beach. The Director at DayOne is always helpful and is approachable when you have an issue or a request regarding your child/children. Each educator at DayOne Mission beach have their own positive connection with each individual child and I have noticed this based on my own observations with my 2 boys. In my children's time at DayOne so far, I have also noticed that arriving and leaving the centre, they are happy every day. This centre is beyond fantastic and have an awesome learning program within their facility. On top of that, they have made the kids more excited by adding swimming lessons at the town pool and have gotten a bus of their own to go on more excursions to make it more exciting for the kids!!! I honestly don't have enough words to describe to you how much I highly recommend DayOne ELC Mission beach. So, if you decide to send your kids here, I promise you, you will NOT regret your decision in doing so! DayOne ELC Mission beach is.... THE BEST!!!

    Yours sincerely, Rosie Murgha

    Spent a long time searching for the right centre for my son before I went back to work.
    He’s been going for about 4 months now and I am happy with the service and care my son receives. The communication with anything I had been unsure about has been great, and eased all of my concerns.

  • I have 2 of my children at this centre my eldest has been at this centre for 4 years even thoe they have recently changed names and new ownership took over but thankfully the staff remained the same over the past 4 years of been here I feel as this centre has become my children's 2nd home and the staff have become like family... also when my youngest first started he was 100% not keen on childcare now after been there for 2 years he loves every day & every minute at kindy with his amazing teachers and friends.

    Thankyou to all the staff for all your help and support

    My child has attended day one for 6 years now and I can not fault them. He loves going to the centre and I struggle to get him leave in the afternoons. The educators are brilliant at showing the kids how to be caring, respectful and allow them to grow into their own independence.
