- We are a small, privately owned early childhood service, independent from large corporate providers.
- Our centres are surrounded by natural spaces, with our Bush Kinder program and nature walks, children have daily opportunities to explore and connect with the natural environment. We believe play, exploration, and hands-on experiences in natural spaces spark curiosity, creativity, and resilience.
- We value genuine partnerships with families and the wider community. From local events to cultural celebrations, we weave community into everyday learning so children grow with a strong sense of belonging.
The Learning Cottage Nerang is founded on our holistic approach to learning, meaningful relationships and a safe, home-like environment. We believe all children should be treated with equality and their linguistic diversity should be embraced and acknowledged. We encourage each child’s uniqueness and strive to provide an environment where children’s interests, creativity, curiosity and sense of agency is provided.
We work closely with our children, families and community to create a program that is meaningful and relative to the children’s interests, strengths and areas of development. Our educators acknowledge this and ensure The Early Years Framework is implemented through quality practices and guidance for your child’s learning. Our team upholds a professional and nurturing approach to early education, using critical reflective practices and strong communication between our children and families.
We’re very passionate about sustainability and educating children on the importance of taking care of our bodies, land, water and other living beings.

Kerry is our Centre Director, bringing with her many years of experience across a variety of roles in early childhood education. She prides herself on building positive, supportive relationships with families and is always ready to lend a helping hand to her team. With extensive knowledge across all areas of early childhood, Kerry is especially passionate about helping children transition smoothly and positively into the service.
Molly, our 2IC, wears her heart on her sleeve and has a genuine love for her role at The Learning Cottage. She adores the children and their families and goes above and beyond to support them. With many years of industry experience, Molly’s dedication shines through in everything she does.
Both Kerry and Molly also have grandchildren who attend our service, which makes our team feel even more like one big, happy family.
Parent communication and involvement
Parent communication and involvement
At The Learning Cottage, we believe that families are children’s first and most important teachers. That’s why we place strong value on open, respectful, and ongoing communication with every parent and carer.
We work closely with families to ensure that you always feel informed, supported, and involved in your child’s learning journey. From daily updates and conversations at drop-off and pick-up, to regular newsletters, photos, and learning stories, we aim to keep you connected with what’s happening in your child’s day.
Family voices matter to us. We encourage parents to share their ideas, cultural practices, and feedback, and we welcome involvement in service events, celebrations, and learning opportunities. Whether it’s reading a story, joining in on a special activity, or helping us celebrate important milestones, family participation strengthens the sense of community we hold so dear.
By working in partnership, we create a warm and inclusive environment where children feel secure, valued, and part of one big extended family.
Centre philosophy

There is no other facility that I would trust my children with. The teachers are always very friendly and very accomodating with parents late and early time schedules. My kids are always excited about going to child care because of the fun activities they get to do everyday before and after school. As a busy mum with a full time job it means to the world to have such caring teachers to look after my kids in the hours that I cannot. Thank you everyone at little active learners Read more
