Empowering Children Through Play, Purpose & Belonging
At Miniversity Early Learning Centre, we believe that children are our future — our greatest asset.
Our programs are designed to nurture their growth, inspire their curiosity, and support their journey toward becoming confident, capable learners — not just for school, but for life. We deliver meaningful, play-based programs tailored to each child’s unique developmental stage, interests and identity. Grounded in the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF v2.0) and Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines (QKLG), our approach balances structure with flexibility, providing the foundations for lifelong learning.
What Makes Our Programs Special?

Learning Every Moment of the Day
We believe that learning happens everywhere — during play, in routines, and through interactions. Our programs are designed to make the most of every moment, whether it’s during group activities, mealtimes, or quiet reflection.
Our days include:
- Intentional teaching experiences and spontaneous play
- Flexible routines that provide security and predictability
- Child-led exploration and inquiry-based learning

Reflective, Responsive & Evolving
Our educators continually evaluate and adapt their programs to ensure they reflect the children’s evolving needs, interests, and developmental progress. We also encourage family input through conversations, feedback, and shared learning experiences — because you are your child’s first teacher, and your voice matters.
Balanced & Purposeful Play
Our programs offer a balance of:
- Active & quiet play
- Indoor & outdoor exploration
- Individual & group learning
- Child-initiated & teacher-guided activities
We know that children learn best when they are engaged, supported and having fun — and that’s exactly what we strive for each day.
