What the parents say
What the parents say
‘Hudson has been at BCCC since he was 5 months. The amount of communication the centre provided, especially in his first year while we were breastfeeding, was AMAZING (both via phone and email). The educators are brilliant. He appreciates all the activities offered to help him develop and we appreciate all the updates we receive. Hudson attends another daycare on the days we don’t drive into the city for work and I can definitely say that none so far have compared to BCCC. Could not recommend this centre more.’
Kyle Cherese
‘Best childcare centre I have experienced (out of quite a few!). My daughter has so many lovely memories here, and she has learnt so much at BCCC. The centre has high quality staff, friendly admin, and a fantastic set up.’
Lydia Davis
‘I actually like dropping my son off in the morning, he’s all smiles and loves his early childhood educators. Great facilities and very accommodating!!’
Rebecca Grace
‘Incredible staff that pay close attention to the children and their individual needs. Can not recommend enough, they are wonderful.’
Allison Sharp

Programs
Programs
- Music and dance classes: Children love to move and listen to music, and they often appreciate the opportunity to creatively express themselves and use their imagination. Our music lessons cater to all age groups with the aim to hone their listening skills, help them identify sounds through repetition and build coordination. Through dance, your child will develop a greater range of movement, fitness, flexibility, hand-eye coordination and have fun with their friends.
- ‘Ants in your Pants’ program: Our multi-sport program is a fun and exciting introduction to sport that can teach your children lifelong physical and social skills such as coordination, confidence and teamwork. With various sports played on a four-week rotational basis, our program is sure to provide your child with a readiness to participate in physical activities as they grow older.
- French lessons: Bilingual experiences at an early age have been proven to enhance children's cognitive abilities and improve brain development. Through our ‘Play Frog’ program, your child will learn the fundamentals of the french language in a supportive and stimulating environment through songs, stories, games and play.
- Incursions and excursions: Our aim has always been to provide the best educational experience for your child. Incursions and excursions are a valuable part of a child's early education and invite them to embrace all new scenarios and surroundings within their local community. Throughout the year, your child may partake in a number of local and multicultural activities: child created & lead art shows, educational wildlife shows, trips to local parks, excursions to GOMA, 'Out of the Box Festival', indigenous immersion programs, and guest speakers from the community such as emergency workers.
- ‘Henny Penny’ chicken farm: Every year, we are excited to welcome Australia's largest and most popular hatching program into our centre. Your child will experience firsthand the lifecycle of a chicken, from incubation to hatching. They will also learn the importance of nurturing and taking care of other living things.
- Sustainability & gardening:We may be located in the heart of the Brisbane CBD, but that does not mean our facilities miss a connection to nature. Your child can enjoy learning how to plant, grow and harvest fresh fruit and veggies in the fresh air and sunshine on our rooftop garden. With daily gardening time in our unique garden space, your child will become a little green thumb and develop new skills such as responsibility, patience, understanding of cause and effect, reasoning and discovery, and a love for nature.
- STEAM: An acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics, STEAM encourages your child to learn and develop a new set of skills through play and science experiments, such as creativity and critical thinking.
About the curriculum
About the curriculum
BBrisbane City Child Care follows the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), which understands that children learn and explore through play. Your child’s understanding of the world develops through communication, discovery, imagination, and creation. The EYLF aims to develop a strong sense of identity, connection and contribution to the world, a strong sense of wellbeing, confidence and involvement in learning, and effective communication skills.
Our toddler rooms comprise two large classrooms located on level one of the centre. Featuring many facilities for indoor play, reading, and arts and crafts, we have created a space for your child to thrive and flourish.
There are three exciting spaces available for your toddler to explore, socialise and develop lifelong skills. One of which features a bespoke wooden indoor playground with a running creek, bamboo forest and musical wall.
Our pre-kindy room is located on the third level alongside the kindergarten rooms. In this room, your child will learn alongside to better prepare them for kindy and school. Our state-of-the-art classroom features group tables, reading corners and age-appropriate furniture.
Your child will develop numeracy, literacy and science skills (STEM) as well as critical social and motor skills to exceed the Early Years Learning Framework.
Our kindergarten rooms comprise three open-planned classrooms on the third level of our centre. Delivering a Queensland Government-approved kindy program, we aim to achieve a very high standard of school readiness for your child.
Our educators encourage lifelong learning by allowing your child to guide their own programming and develop their skills in our classrooms as well as our spacious, open-air rooftop playground with plenty of blue sky. By providing these spaces that are unrivalled by any other child care centre in Brisbane CBD, your child will interact with and learn from others in an exciting and supportive environment.
With programming that parallels ideas with leading Reggio Emilia and Montessori principles, Brisbane City Child Care has been delivering this exceptional level of programming for over 16 years.

I love working at Brisbane City Child Care. I have worked for other larger companies and have always just felt like a number. Not the case at Brisbane City Child Care. Here, we engage in group personal development and social occasions and are all becoming real friends!
- Nat, Educator
I have been with Brisbane City Child Care now for 10 years and I can confidently say that they value their staff and have a low staff turnover with consistency in educators. This is the best outcome for children as they thrive, engage and become confident learners. So much so, my child comes here too.

We could not recommend BCCC more highly. We have had our 2 boys attend the centre, with our eldest leaving to commence Prep... We could not recommend BCCC more highly. We have had our 2 boys attend the centre, with our eldest leaving to commence Prep this year. Both our boys have felt safe and supported at the centre and the communication with parents is second to none. Our boys are both energetic (to say the least) but there is ample room to run around I can see that they are also thriving with the access to carefully curated learning materials, experiments, art, music and dance. On a personal note, I get a sense of calm when I walk into the centre, and I know that is no easy feat. We would highly recommend Brisbane City Child Care to any prospective parent. Read more
