Welcome to Childs World Early Learning Centres. Our vision is to strive towards providing children, families and our community with an atmosphere that is homely, enlightening, educational and uplifting. While also creating a safe and supportive environment for children to be themselves, to develop to their full potential and a culture of lifelong learning.

Childs World Early Learning Centres are owned and operated by a local Cairns family who have been in the early childhood education profession for over 30 years. They thrive on supporting the Cairns local community as well as junior sporting clubs and are leading the way by setting the benchmark in early childhood education with decades of experience and knowledge. At our centres, everything is inviting and curious and is inspired by and reflects the Early Years Learning Framework.

Settling into Childs World Early Learning Centres

It’s natural that you and your child may be a little anxious to start childcare especially if they haven’t been in care before. Our aim is to make the transition as smooth and as easy as possible.

There are many things you can do to help before starting at our service, such as having play dates, providing home comforters and checking in with us as often as you like.

Cultural Diversity

Childs World Early Learning Centres are culturally and linguistically diverse and we want to ensure all families experience a sense of belonging. To achieve this we provide opportunities for all children to develop an understanding of different cultures and help foster in each child an awareness and acceptance of these cultures by integrating multiculturalism into our programs. This can be achieved through providing and offering a range of books, music, cooking, activities, singing, clothing, play equipment and much more.

Security Coded Doors

To ensure you have peace of mind while your children are attending Childs World Early Learning Centres, the access doors from reception into the centre rooms have been fitted with the latest security coded locks. These doors are fitted with electronic locks with specific keypad access that require a 4 digit code which ensures that unauthorised persons cannot gain access into the centre. Your Centre Director/Supervisor will provide you with an access code on your child’s first day.
