We are dedicated to providing a well-resourced, inclusive environment that nurtures your child’s individual learning, development, and wellbeing every day.

We believe children thrive in spaces that feel like home - full of laughter, curiosity, and belonging. Nestled within a beautifully restored heritage building, Cottage Grove Early Learning combines the charm of its historic architecture with a warm, cottage-like atmosphere.

With its heritage architecture and thoughtful details, every corner invites your child to explore, learn, and feel truly at home. Here, the magic of childhood meets a sense of history and community, creating a nurturing environment where little ones can grow and flourish.

Our team is more than a group of educators - we’re a diverse, inclusive, and caring community that feels like an extended family. With passion, expertise, and genuine warmth, we nurture every child’s learning journey and support the families who share it with us.

We’re proudly part of the West End and South Brisbane community, where connection runs deep. We believe in building strong relationships with families and supporting our neighbours through genuine involvement and care.

From local excursions to everyday interactions, we see it as a privilege to contribute to and invest back into the community that surrounds us.

At Cottage Grove Early Learning, our programs are inspired by the Curiosity Approach and Reggio Emilia philosophy, blending play, wonder, and inquiry in a calm, home-like setting.

We see each child as capable, creative, and full of potential. Our educators follow children’s interests, using authentic, open-ended materials to spark imagination and discovery.

Every space is designed to feel like an extension of home - warm, natural, and filled with opportunities to explore and connect.

Families are active partners in this journey, sharing in each child’s growth and milestones. Through this thoughtful, play-based approach, we nurture curious, confident learners ready for the next step in their adventure.

We prioritise your child’s safety and well-being above all. Our secure, thoughtfully designed heritage building offers state-of-the-art facilities, CCTV and robust health protocols to help every child feel safe and supported. We maintain clear and open lines of communication with you, ensuring you always know what’s happening and feel connected.
