1300 441 441Sparrow Early Learning Eagleby is situated mid-way between Brisbane and Gold Coast with easy access off the M1. We have two local schools very close by and within walking distance of the centre. We also offer a free courtesy bus service to transport children to and from your residence.
Sparrow Early Learning Eagleby is an 88-place service that caters for children from 6 weeks to 5 years of age and has 5 spacious rooms for different age groups. We also cater for school age children that have siblings attending the Centre up to the age of 12 years, offering before and after school care and vacation care.
We have a large outdoor play space for children aged 2 – 5, and a separate nursery and Toddlers play area with a large shady play space. Our very large undercover verandah also provides plenty of shade in the warmer months. This allows our service to implement indoor / outdoor programs year-round.
We pride ourselves on our great relationships with our families and we welcome their contributions in all areas of learning. We like to work with our families as co-educators and we greatly value their input.
Sparrow Early Learning Eagleby is a loving, warm environment where children can feel safe, secure and supported during their time with us. We acknowledge each child is unique and let all children learn and develop at their own pace. We maintain strong committed partnerships and networks within our local community especially in regard to early intervention from birth to 5 years.
We offer twice yearly dental health checks and developmental health checks in conjunction with Child Health Pathways Project and local Dentist. It is our real passion to ensure all children have access to health services and support to do this.
Our centre provides nutritious meals cooked fresh on the premises. We can also provide meals for children with allergies and cultural diets. We proudly hold a Logan City Council 5-star rating.
All our Educators are qualified and passionate about Early Childhood Education and Care; they aim to provide exceptional quality care in all areas of the National Quality Standards and achieve good quality outcomes for all children.
We employ 2 qualified Early Childhood Teacher’s working at the service delivering a government approved Kindergarten Program to our kindergarten age children. Our goal is to ensure our kindergarten children are best prepared socially and emotionally for the transition to prep and the school environment. During the second half of the year, our early childhood teacher conducts weekly transition play dates with the children to our local schools to assist with the smooth transition

About the curriculum
About the curriculum
“The Sparrow Way combines proven international early learning methods to create a unique and purposefully contemporary practice designed for today’s society. Guided by the principles of Reggio Emilia childcare and underpinned by The Early Years Framework for Australia, we embrace children’s inherent abilities to learn and develop, creating an environment for them to find solutions through exploration, discovery and invention, marveling in everything around them. The Sparrow Way is our method of working with children based on these beliefs and principles.”
- The Sparrow Early Education Team
The Sparrow curriculum is thoughtfully planned by our educators and shaped by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). Being guided by the EYLF and National Quality Standards (NQS) ensures we offer high quality learning programs that are responsive to children’s ideas, interests, strengths and abilities.
Programs are play-based, child-driven and inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach with a strong emphasis on nature and outdoor learning experiences. Educators carefully design environments that stimulate curiosity and provide opportunities for hands-on learning experiences that are reflective of real life.
Play is viewed as a powerful tool for children to explore, discover and make meaning of the world around them. Activities are largely open-ended, providing a wide variety of natural resources and materials which stimulate imagination and foster creativity, problem-solving and meaningful interactions with friends and educators.
Children are encouraged to express themselves through various mediums, such as art, music and dramatic play, allowing them to develop a deep sense of autonomy, confidence and joy in their learning journey.
Parent communication and involvement
Parent communication and involvement
The Sparrow team values the role of families as children’s most important teachers and our educators foster positive and collaborative relationships with families. Parents are encouraged to contribute their ideas for programming, learning activities and the overall operation of the service.
Our inclusive open-door policy welcomes parents to visit our service, engage in discussions with educators and participate in children's learning. Our educators maintain open and continuous communication with families, ensuring a strong connection between the children's home learning environment and their educational experiences at the centre. During pick-up and drop-off times, educators are readily available to engage with families and gladly share insights into the children's progress, well-being and participation.
The use of the Storypark communication app provides daily updates, photos, and videos, fostering regular connections between educators and families. Parents also receive frequent communication through emails, newsletters, displays, notices, information evenings, special events, and Facebook.

Sparrow Early Learning centres provide high quality kindergarten/preschool programs led by qualified Early Childhood Teachers. While the curriculum remains play-based, these programs follow a more structured approach to teaching and learning experiences to prepare children for transitioning into a primary school environment. There is a careful balance maintained between child-led and teacher-led learning activities.
Our Early Childhood Teachers cater to the individual needs of each child and in collaboration with parents, ensure that children are adequately equipped with the skills and experience required for a smooth transition to “big school”. Ongoing assessment of children’s progress and development is carefully documented and communicated with families and transition statements can be shared with future schools to facilitate a smooth transition to school.
Attending kindergarten/preschool at their familiar Sparrow Early Learning centre makes the transition from the long day care setting less intimidating and children can continue their early learning journey in a safe and familiar environment, surrounded by friends and familiar educators. It also means families can enjoy the flexibility of extended care hours and continued care during school holiday periods. All meals and snacks are provided, adding to the convenience for busy families.
