Welcome To
Learning Pathways Early Education, Care and Kindergarten
"A place under the trees to grow, create and learn together. Relationship based care for children from 6 weeks of age, fostering the growth of confident, capable and creative children."
Welcome To Learning Pathways
Learning Pathways Early Education, Care and Kindergarten is proud to be a provider of leading innovative education and care in Newtown, in the beautiful city of Toowoomba.
We offer 7 beautifully designed and curated learning studios and a before and after school care space to our local schools, Newtown State School and Our Lady of Lourdes. We enrol up to 101 children a day. We believe that all children deserve a service that offers challenge and supports and respects their need for exploration, curiosity, connection and creativity.
Our service operates Monday to Friday from 6:30am to 6:30pm excluding public holidays and offers nappies, wipes and sunscreen as well as a complimentary hat and t-shirt upon enrolment.
We are passionate about encouraging healthy eating and nutrition so that your children can truly become their best selves. Healthy eating is a cornerstone to your child’s growth, wellbeing and development – and our daily menu consists of fresh, healthy meals that provide balance and essential nutrients for growing little bodies. After all, our fully qualified Chef understands that they are going to need fuel to stay active! We grow fresh vegies, fruit, and a bush tucker garden for the children to explore on-site.
Oh, and don’t forget to say hello to our 2 beautiful chickens: Dinosaur and Deidre on your way through.
Providing Quality Care and Education
We provide the highest quality care and education for children from 6 weeks of age. As part of our philosophy, we are focused on establishing nurturing environments and experiences for children that build upon their strengths and interests as they transition to school and the wider community.
As a family-owned service, we love building meaningful relationships and becoming a part of your family. We are committed to providing quality care and education and welcoming you to our beautiful service.
We take a holistic approach to early development, providing home-style spaces where children will feel comfortable, nurtured and supported. Our program is all about nurturing your child’s unique personality and interests – with 7 learning studios to choose from, each tailored to various stages of children’s development.
Learning Through Outdoor Play
We provide an indoor-outdoor program that is designed to offer children opportunities to explore all aspects of learning. These spaces invite open-ended exploration and play, encouraging risk taking, interactions and discoveries of their world.
Our service is surrounded by leafy, beautiful trees. We have a large outdoor learning environment, where children are encouraged to make sense of their world through a range of play-based learning experiences.
We invite children here at Learning Pathways to develop a deep connection and appreciation for Giabal and Jarowair Land. We believe in a child’s right to have access and freedom to play in nature and outdoor play spaces, in all safe weather conditions.
Our Happy Clients
Here’s what a couple of our families have shared about our service. For more of our 5 star reviews, take a look on Google and Facebook.
My grandchildren love going to Learning Pathways. They often talk about how much fun they’ve had and especially love going to Bush Kindy. The menu is great and the playgrounds are great, too.
