I wasn’t unhappy with previous management , But since Amy is Directing there has been a notable positive shift in staff consistency, culture and communication. DD4 has never wobbled we’ve had great teachers caring for her, with compassion, empathy and inclusion. We are very lucky to have this team working together caring for our children. Miss 4 has a special place in her heart for Chef Shel too .

About Edge Early Learning Karana Downs

Welcome to Edge Early Learning Karana Downs, perfect for families located in and around Karana Downs, Chuwar, Mount Crosby, Karalee and Moggill.

Our purpose-built centre welcomes children from 6 weeks to school age, into our long daycare and kindergarten program.

We offer state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor learning environments where our teachers and educators deliver Edge Early Learning’s bespoke education program that’s personalised to your child’s individual learning goals. Your child will love learning through play with engaging inquiry-based experiences planned and communicated to our families. 

When giving tours, parents often comment that they love our massive yards, which are surrounded by nature and have high, secure fences.

Your child will enjoy fresh, nutritious meals prepared daily by our on-site chef, using recipes developed in collaboration with accredited dietitians at The Biting Truth.

We offer year-round care across long daycare hours to suit busy family schedules, and our kindergarten program is Government-approved for your peace of mind.

Our team of highly qualified educators and teachers pride themselves on developing strong relationships with families and the community, to set children up with a confident start to school. We are located directly across from Mount Crosby State School making it easy for parents during school drop off and pick ups. Our kindergarten class love attending the sports carnivals, cross country, little readers, visits from the Prep teachers and so much more.

Enrolling now for 2026. Eligible families will receive a minimum of 3-days subsidised care each week at Edge Early Learning Karana Downs.
