Our Centre

We have close to 50 staff members at Playhouse, many of whom have been with us for eight or more years. All of our staff are highly experienced educators. Our team of younger educators bring energy and new curriculum initiatives to the team, mentored by our mature aged, senior staff. Our team have an incredible range of backgrounds, from psychology to dentistry, which complements their child care expertise. They incorporate their skills into our program. Playhouse educators are multicultural and often engage with children about important days and rituals in different cultures. Our higher than average staff to child ratio provides your child with outstanding care each day. Staff turnover at our centre is low, so you can continue valuable dialogue about your child’s development, while enjoying continuity of care.

Our state-of-the-art facility enjoys beautiful surrounds, backing on to the UQ sports oval. Both our nature playground and sensory garden offer plants that smell and feel inviting to children and adults alike. Our three adjoining, flexible outdoor spaces are safely divided for different age groups but can also be opened up for multi-age activities. With plenty of shade for warm days, our outdoor spaces embrace the elements of nature. An in-built water pump, river streams and creek beds fill up for creative mud and sand play. Our wonderful Yarning circle helps children embrace and understand Indigenous culture, a vital facet of the early childhood curriculum we follow.
