Fostering independence in early learners
As young children start to explore the world around them, nurturing their independence helps them become more resilient, adaptable, and self-reliant.
At Sanctuary Early Learning Adventure, we believe that learning should be an adventure—one that nurtures curiosity, fosters independence, and builds a strong foundation for lifelong learning. As a family-owned early childhood education provider, we are proud to offer exceptional care and education across our centres in Ashmore, Southport, Maudsland, Buderim, Redlynch, and Highfields.
Our approach is guided by our core values: Connection, Collaboration, Inclusion, and Respect. These principles shape our daily practices, creating a warm and inclusive environment where every child feels valued, safe and inspired to explore.
At Sanctuary, we embrace a holistic approach to early learning, we follow the lead of the child and let each of their interests guide their curriculum. Our centres offer enriching activities such as sports, dance, art, and outdoor play, alongside well-being practices like yoga, meditation, and mindfulness. This comprehensive approach ensures children develop resilience, creativity, and confidence in a supportive setting.
Each of our centres is uniquely designed to reflect and complement its local community, offering safe and engaging environments where children can learn, grow, and thrive. Our curriculum is aligned with the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines (QKLG), and the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) ensuring that every child receives a high-quality early education tailored to their developmental needs.
