A place to belong,
explore and grow
Mirambeena Children’s Centre is a trusted and long-established early learning provider, proudly serving families in the community since 1988. As a not-for-profit, community-based centre, we offer quality care for children from 3 months to 5 years, our focus has always been on nurturing children, supporting families, and strengthening community connections.
With over 35 years of operation, Mirambeena has offered many children a caring environment in which to grow and develop, providing the best possible start to their education.
We operate four rooms, each offering a nurturing and stimulating environment where children are able to explore, learn, and play.
BELONG. EXPLORE. GROW.
Mirambeena is a home-away from home, where children are cherished, families feel connected, and community thrives.
Play is central to learning, fostering imagination, curiosity, resilience, problem-solving, and social connection.
We believe that children thrive when they enjoy healthy, nutritious meals and develop positive eating habits that support their growth and learning.

Possum
The Possum Room welcomes children 2-3 years with energy, imagination, and discovery. Children can explore an outdoor area for running, climbing, and digging, alongside a dedicated play and art space filled with dress ups, hands on art, and mud play to inspire curiosity. Independence, creativity, and social skills are nurtured in a safe and joyful environment.
Butterfly
Catering to 3-4 year olds, the Butterfly Room provides a warm, play rich, pre-kindy environment where children develop foundational social, emotional, and self-help skills. Through open ended experiences, outdoor discovery, and creative exploration, educators support children to build confidence, independence, and a strong sense of belonging as they take the next steps in their learning journey.
Kookaburra
Designed for 4-5 year olds, the Kookaburra Room offers a stimulating, engaging kindergarten program that nurtures school readiness and lifelong learning.
