About Flinders Early Learning Centre
Welcome to Flinders Early Learning Centre (FELC), a premier establishment and point of interest located at 144 Ballinger Road in Buderim, Queensland, Australia. As a licensed Child Care Centre, FELC provides exceptional Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten programs for children aged three to six years old.
Situated in the breathtaking setting of a rainforest, FELC offers a unique learning experience that is both creative and nurturing. Inspired by the renowned Reggio Emilia approach, our compassionate and caring play-based programs take place in natural environments, ensuring that learning is always inviting, fun, and creative.
In August 2023, FELC received a glowing accreditation and rating report, exceeding expectations in all seven areas of the National Quality Standards. This recognition is a testament to our commitment to delivering high-quality early learning programs.
At FELC, our dedicated team consists of four-year university-trained early childhood teachers and early learning assistants with a minimum of two years of training. Led by Director Jo Osborne, our team possesses a deep understanding of how young children learn and thrive.
Our philosophy at FELC values the power of play in stimulating and shaping child development and early learning. Our programs are based on current research on play and inquiry, brain-based learning, and Dimensions of Learning. We believe in engaging children's five senses, provoking wonder, curiosity, and intellectual engagement.
Nature plays a vital role in our programs, and we encourage children to explore the natural environment through our Bush Kindy Program, Community Garden Project, Flinders Farm visits, and rainforest gardens. By immersing children in the beauty of nature, we foster a sense of wonder and encourage their holistic development.
Our state-of-the-art facilities include light-filled classrooms with flexible learning spaces, access to outdoor learning areas and rainforest gardens, art studios, writing centers, discovery areas, reading nooks, interactive whiteboards, and the latest in information technology. These spaces are carefully designed to create an environment that is inviting, fun, creative, and, most importantly, child-centered.
Through planned and spontaneous play experiences, children at FELC form relationships, share, cooperate, develop self-control, test ideas and friendships, and extend their range of experiences. Our program strikes a balance between child-centered and adult-led play, allowing children to make discoveries, elaborate on projects, and engage in symbolic play.
One of our most popular programs is our Bush Kindy Program, where small groups of children explore the wetlands forest between FELC and Matthew Flinders Anglican College. Under the guidance of two specialist teachers, the children engage in activities such as mapping the forest space, identifying flora and fauna, and experiencing the wonders of nature firsthand.
We offer a range of programs and care options to accommodate the needs of families. Our Pre-Kindergarten programs run from 8:45 am to 3:15 pm, while our 3-Day and 2-Day Kindergarten programs have slightly different schedules. We also provide before-session care from 7:30 am to 8:00 am and after-session care from 3:30 pm to 6:00 pm.
The fees for our Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten programs are $122.00 per day, with the Queensland Kindy Funding Scheme offering a daily rate of $116.00. We strive to make our programs accessible to all families while maintaining the highest standards of education and care.
At Flinders Early Learning Centre, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and enriching learning environment for your child. Come and discover the wonders of FELC and join our community of families who trust us to provide the best foundation for their children's future.
