Mount Peter Early Learning Centre

Quality Early Education in Northern Queensland

Learning, Growing, and Exploring Outdoors

At Mount Peter Early Learning, we offer quality care and education for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. Our programs are designed to support each stage of your child’s development in a safe, welcoming environment.

Programs That Inspire Confident Learners

Nursery & Toddlers (6 weeks – 3 years)

A calm, nurturing space where little ones are supported through responsive care and thoughtful routines.

Kindergarten Program (3 – 5 years)

A school-readiness program focused on independence, communication, and confidence.

Forest School & Outdoor Play

Children explore and engage with nature through sensory play, physical movement and real-world experiences.

Our Approach to Early Learning

At Mount Peter Early Learning, we use an inquiry-based approach. This means we follow your child’s natural interests and questions. Instead of strict lessons, we create learning experiences based on what they show an interest in, such as how plants grow, where rain comes from, or how to build a tower.

Our educators support children to explore, ask questions, and find answers in a way that makes sense to them. It’s a fun, hands-on way to learn that helps build confidence, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Playing With Gratitude – Inspired by The Gratitude Project

At Mount Peter, we’ve introduced Playing With Gratitude—a daily practice that helps children notice the good around them and connect with others through kindness and reflection. Inspired by The Gratitude Project, this initiative weaves thankfulness into everyday routines, helping build emotional resilience and a positive mindset from a young age.

What Families Are Saying

“Mount Peter Early Learning Centre is a fantastic place for young children. The centre’s focus on outdoor learning and forest school activities offers a unique and enriching experience. My daughter especially loves sliding down mud hills and frequently talks about the kindness she encounters there. It’s clear that the centre fosters a supportive and engaging environment. Highly recommended for parents looking for a nurturing and nature-focused learning experience for their child.”
