Imagine goes above and beyond to make sure your child is supported and feels safe. Both my children attend in different age rooms and I love seeing what the educators create with the children. The centre is bright, clean and inviting. Thank you imagine for taking such good care of my babies and making me feel so supported when ever I have needed support. Every single educator is a master in their field. Your child will love the atmosphere here.

About Imagine Childcare and Kindergarten Southport

At Imagine Childcare and Kindergarten Southport, our mission is to exceed all expectations in providing quality early childhood education and care. We are proud of the wonderful centre we have created for the families in our community. Children learn through exploratory play, and our large open-ended play spaces allow children to explore, use their imagination, and engage in decision making and problem solving in order to make sense of their world. 

Our centre is a home-away-from-home for our families, a nurturing space where many wonderful memories are made. Our educational programs and curriculum are delivered by long-term Educators who are dedicated to ensuring your child has the very best start to their learning journey. We offer a Queensland Government-approved Kindergarten Program and a Transition to School Program to prepare your child for primary school.

As an Imagine family, you will enjoy a number of special benefits included in your daily fee:

  • Nutritious meals prepared in our onsite kitchen by our Centre Chef
  • Free barista coffee for parents
  • An Enrolment Pack, including a drink bottle and hat
  • Nappies, linen, sunscreen and wipes
  • Extracurricular activities, including yoga lessons, Jumping Jim's fitness classes, Japanese lessons, gardening classes, and cooking classes                              

We are open Monday to Friday, 6:30 am – 6:30 pm (excluding public holidays), and we provide care and early education for children from 6 weeks old to school age.

We look forward to welcoming you to our Imagine Childcare family!

Programs

Morning

Sally is eight months old and she starts her day off crawling around and exploring the outdoor play area. Her Mum grabs a coffee and chats to her Educators about her sleep patterns before she heads off to work.

Lunchtime

It’s nearly nap time and Sally and her friends are sitting with an Educator who is reading some books outside in the shade. Sally loves it when her Educator reads in a funny voice.

Afternoon

The children are enjoying some painting and Sally is using her fingers to make a picture that she can take home to show her family.

About the curriculum

About the curriculum

At Imagine Childcare and Kindergarten Southport, the Educators believe that children learn through opportunities where they can discover, create, and imagine.  They encourage each child to be an active participant in their learning through intentional teaching and play-based learning. At the centre, every child is recognised as being unique and able to learn in their own individual way. The Educators value collaboration with families to find strategies to adjust to each child’s individual needs and development. 

They build caring relationships with children which enables them to make curriculum and learning experiences relevant to each individual child, and provide opportunities for children to develop their own unique skills, knowledge and abilities. Children are confident and capable learners and should always be challenged in their learning. The Educators build upon children’s knowledge and development by referring to the Early Years Learning Framework and the Queensland Kindergarten Guidelines. 

The centre offers care for children in the following groups:

  • Nursery
  • Tiny Tots
  • Toddlers
  • Junior Kindy 1
  • Junior Kindy 2
  • Pre Kindy
  • Kindergarten 1
  • Kindergarten 2
Health & Nutrition

Health & Nutrition

The centre understands that nutrition plays an important role in each child’s physical development as well as their attitudes towards healthy food.

All meals and snacks are prepared onsite by professional qualified chefs every day. The children work alongside the Educators to care for the centre’s vegetable patches, and these vegetables are then used in the kitchen or for cooking experiences with the children.

The Educators use meal time as an opportunity to share positive experiences around food and to help children develop social skills such as sharing and turn taking. They role model positive behaviours and attitudes, and involve the children in the menu planning.

All food allergies, intolerances, cultural requirements and family preferences are taken into account by consulting with parents when meal planning for the children.

We discovered that Imagine childcare and Kindergarten Southport provide a sense of safety and confidence for my child. He easily transitions and enjoys activities even when he initially cries to say goodbye. Each time I pick him up, he enthusiastically invites me to join him in play at the facility.

Response from the owner 16 Mar 2026
