Our Early Learning Centre has built a reputation for providing exceptional programs in a dynamic and stimulating play-based environment.where you will grow, learn and discover.
Since its opening in 2007, the Early Learning Centre – our well-equipped and fully accredited Childcare and Kindergarten program – lays strong Christian foundations for capable, confident and self-disciplined children.
At Northpine Christian College, we understand how important the early years are for every child; they are the foundation on which children build the rest of their lives.
Our approved Kindy programs draw on the best of theory and practice from QLD Government Kindergarten Guidelines and the Early Years Learning Framework . Qualified Early Childhood Teachers run the program from Monday to Friday. Children must turn four by the 30 th of June in the current year and be booked in for at least 2 days a week for this program.
The program offers a rich and varied learning environment that helps children to meet the 5 learning development areas – Identify, Connectedness, Wellbeing, Active Learning & Communicating.
As part of the Kindergarten program, the Centre has developed a Transition to School program, enabling children to experience 'big' school through visits and events such as library, chapel and parade.
Our experienced and nurturing staff aim to motivate each child, with age-appropriate learning experiences to prepare them for formal schooling.
