WE PROVIDE CLASSES FOR:
KINDERGARTEN
(4 – 5 YEARS)
Kindergarten is for children the year before they start school.
The Kindergarten program runs 5 days a week. This program is supported by our Bachelor qualified Kindergarten teacher and is the best start you can give your child entering the Prep year at school.
PRE-KINDY
(3 – 4 YEARS)
During the Pre-Kindy year we focus on positive social and emotional skills, early literacy and numeracy skills and work on preparing them for a successful transition to the government approved Kindergarten Program that is run at Parkside.
JUNIOR KINDY
(2 – 3 YEARS)
In Junior Kindy our educators help the children to develop a greater sense of independence and they focus on language. This will improve communication of their needs with the people around them.
Time in Junior Kindy is also the stage when children become more social with their peers
TODDLERS
(15 – 24 MONTHS)
NURSERY
(6 WEEKS – 15 MONTHS)
Those first few months of a child’s live are precious! The base for this at Parkside are nurturing relationships between the baby and the educator. Our educators provide a safe environment with lots of sensory input through music and singing, gentle touch, challenge back strength through tummy time and support when learning to roll.

Parkside Early Learning Centre is the only childcare centre in Gympie that offers Bush Kindy. Our children enjoy the outlook into beautiful greenery all year round. As a centre we wanted to go a step further and use this park for a Bush Kindy Program.
Our Pre-prep/Kindergarten program and our Senior Kindy children do weekly Bush Kindy sessions. Play is inspired by the children’s interests, what nature provides or a theme continued from the last session.
Part of the Bush Kindy Program is risk taking. Being in an unstructured environment brings forth some risks but also valuable learning opportunities. This teaches children to respond positively to challenges in a supervised environment. Although the sessions are child-led teachers and educators still conduct detailed planning and continue their lessons outside.
Yoga has so many benefits for children and Parkside proudly offers this service with a qualified Yoga Instructor.
Although yoga is a physical activity we really believe in the learning benefits for our children. Through yoga children gain control of their feelings and learn to regulate their emotions on their own. Some of the other benefits we like for our children are:
Our instructor comes in once per week and leads yoga with all our children. Even our babies get to experience yoga time!
Swimming lessons are being introduced in 2020 and are offered free as part of the Parkside Pre-prep Kindergarten Program. The introduction of swimming lessons was suggested and supported by our Parkside Families. The swimming lessons are located 200 meters from the centre at the new Gympie Aquatic Recreation Centre on Tozer Park Road.
Some of the benefits of swimming lessons are:
We are so excited to offer swimming lessons as part of our Pre-prep Kindergarten program as of this year!
As part of our Pre-prep Kindergarten program we offer FREE weekly soccer lessons for our children. We have the amazing Professional Soccer Coach Nick from Queensland Junior Sports.
We provide a fun and stimulating soccer program encouraging children to be imaginative and creative through theme based soccer games. Children develop physical confidence and gain trust, whilst building positive relationships in a safe environment.
