About

Located in leafy Gordon Park, just 15 minutes from the Brisbane CBD, we offer our services to families predominantly living on Brisbane’s northside.

As an early learning centre, our philosophy at The Brook is that each child is unique, and as such, we cater to their individual personalities and optimal potential through our innovative implementation of ‘learning by playing’. See The Brook’s philosophy here. By doing so, children are better able to understand the world in which they live through our planned early education programs which activate their capacity to participate, communicate, investigate, create and reflect.

We enjoy the benefits of great relationships and partnerships with local schools, businesses, sporting clubs, Emergency Services, Hospitals and the many local charities we gladly support through hosting events and fundraising.

Today we had had a few inspiring doctors, police officers, a fireman and princesses at The Brook. The children discussed their choice with their educators this morning and the reason why.

This helps children build skills with imagination and curiosity about the world they live in. Imagination fosters creativity for children to explore and act out scenarios of their choosing, which also helps build skills in communication and language.

The Primavera Kindergarten recently went on an excursion to Bush Kindy.

The play-based Bush Kindy—It's Deadly! program, takes place in the beautiful bushland of Bunyaville Conservation Park. It is designed to develop children's relationships with nature and increase awareness of Indigenous culture within the context of being part of and caring for the country. Children receive a special invitation and a resource to initiate their exploration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives and nature. The program models environmentally sustainable play, innovative learning experiences, provides strategies for parents and carers, and great professional development for visiting teachers.

During Term 2 in Primavera Kindergarten, the children voiced their interest in the three flags Miss Vicki raises as they watch on each morning. Their learning journey begins at the flag pole each morning, becoming familiar with each flag and how to respect and care for the flags. Carrying each flag to and from the flag pole without letting the flag touch the ground. Folding each flag carefully and lowering the flags when the rains came. The children explored each flags, colours, shapes and symbols, predicting their meanings. Together Primavera researched the history of each flag. Miss Vicki suggested the children raise all three flags together independently, in which they were a little concerned on how they would do this without Miss Vicki's help, however Miss Vicki had full faith in the Primavera children that they could do it on their on, and they sure did do a wonderful job.

The children in Blossom have been exploring the impact of human activity on animals in our waterways and oceans. As part of this learning, the children went on an excursion to Sea Life at Mooloolaba.
They explored a wide variety of sea life, touched starfish, watched stingrays glide through the water, observed penguins make their nest and even got up close with some sharks. The highlight for many children was watching the scuba divers in the aquariums, because even the water and tanks at Sea Life require some assistance staying clean and healthy for the ocean animals.
