Providing a Holistic Approach To Your Child's Development

Sanctuary Early Learning Adventure is a family-owned and operated business with centres in Ashmore, Southport , Buderim, Maudsland, Redlynch and Highfields.  As a team we take pride in our Philosophy which guides our everyday practice and are aligned with our values of Connect, Collaborate and Respect.

We believe in a holistic approach to your child’s development, knowing each child’s experience is individual to them. We balance a calm and nurturing environment with fun-filled creative outlets for them to explore – including sports, dance, art and play! Our program also incorporates a focus on health and wellbeing implementing yoga, meditation and mindfulness practice – this helps develop resilient and well-rounded individuals.

Each of our centres are built to provide children with an environment that enables them to play, explore and learn. Our curriculum is guided by the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines (QKLG), the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), and My Time Our Place (MTOP). Through this we provide fun, interactive learning based programs such as The Gardening Club, Junior Chefs Program and much, much more!

We also embrace modern technology as a way of enhancing observation based teaching and engagement with families; that’s why when you enrol with us, you’ll have access to our Storypark app—follow your child’s journey of discovery and growth!
