About the Centre:

Located on Lomond Crescent in Caloundra West, our purpose-built centre offers high-quality early education and care for children aged 0–5 years in a nurturing, safe, and adventure-filled environment.

We know that families are looking for more than just child care - they're looking for a place where their child feels supported, encouraged, and inspired every day. That's exactly what you'll find at Milestones Caloundra. Our passionate educators bring over 250 years of combined experience to the centre, creating a warm and welcoming environment where children can grow, explore, and thrive.

Each day is full of opportunities for play-based learning and discovery. With three large outdoor yards featuring bike tracks, water parks, and custom-built forts, children have the freedom to move, imagine, and connect with others. Indoors, our enriching programs follow the Lifelong Learning Curriculum and include two government-approved kindergarten programs with exciting project work on themes like space, the zoo, and under the sea.
