About the Centre:

At Milestones Torquay, we believe every child deserves a joyful start to their learning journey - and that’s exactly what we offer in our warm, welcoming centre by the coast. Families love the supportive, down-to-earth feel of our community and the way our passionate educators go above and beyond to help children aged 0–5 feel safe, confident, and curious.

Each day brings new opportunities for play-based learning in our vibrant indoor and outdoor spaces, where children explore, discover, and grow through hands-on experiences. Our fresh, nutritious meals are prepared onsite to keep little learners nourished and energised all day long.

We proudly follow the Lifelong Learning Curriculum, which supports each child’s social, emotional, and academic development through early literacy, STEM, and language-rich environments. With a government-approved kindy program and strong connections to local schools, we help set children up for a smooth and confident transition to big school.
