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.

Providing a Holistic Approach To Your Child's Development

Are you looking to enrol your child in their first early learning centre? Perhaps you’re relocating to the Gold Coast or a different location in South East Queensland? Or maybe you are not content with their current centre? Well, if you’re searching for a centre that places the health and wellbeing of your child first; one that emphasises the importance of developing life skills, creativity, and an inherent understanding of—and caring for—sustainability; you’ve come to the right place!

Sanctuary Early Learning Adventure is a privately owned and operated group of early learning centres throughout Gold Coast and Queensland. We currently have centres in Highfields , Redlynch and Buderim. We also have 3 more centres on the Gold Coast, including Ashmore, Maudsland and Southport. For children from six weeks old to school age, we’ll take care of your little ones and help them develop into amazing young people!
