Welcome to the Sanctuary your child deserves

Sanctuary Early Learning Adventure is a family-owned  business with centres on the Gold Coast including Ashmore, Southport and Maudsland. We also have centres in BuderimRedlynch 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, Inclusion 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 on the Gold Coast and throughout South East Queensland are built unique to their area, to provide children with a safe and secure 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).

Storypark is a mobile app that allows you to follow your child’s progress throughout the day.  Through the app, their educator will record and communicate your child’s learning through photos, video and observations.

Quality Childcare For Ages 6 Weeks To 5 Years

We understand that every child is unique and we cater to the individual needs of children from as young as 6 weeks old up to 5 years of age. Our programs are designed to support children’s growth across all developmental stages, including:

  • Babies: Our nurturing educators provide a safe, clean and loving environment for your baby to grow, ensuring their needs are met with warmth and responsiveness.
  • Toddlers: we encourage exploration and curiosity, while promoting independence. We know our toddlers have a big world to investigate and wrap every element of our program around their interests and activities. 
  • Kindergarten: Our kindergarten programs prepare children for their transition to school, fostering a love of learning and developing essential life skills. This is all accomplished by following their lead, unpacking their investigations and diving a little deeper into topics.
