**About Us**

At UEL The Gap, our Centre prides itself on community spirit and strong family connections. We have created a morning ritual of gathering as a whole centre, giving thanks to our custodians, the Jugerra people. Our children spend their day developing and exploring their physical, social, emotional, language and cognitive self through play.

The outdoor spaces with native bees, worm farm, herb garden, flora and mud kitchen introduce children to the natural world and to explore their curiosity and imagination.

The Uniting Church in Queensland has been serving families through childcare services, run by congregations and other church organisations such as Wesley Mission Queensland and UnitingCare since 1964. Now under Uniting Early Learning, our objectives are mission based rather than profit based. We prioritise the delivery of quality learning outcomes for our children and a values-based philosophy.

More broadly, the Uniting Church in Australia is a large uniquely Australian Christian denomination in Australia. In Queensland, we have around 250 congregations and has schools, colleges and large community services.
