Great Beginnings Pimpama

See where great beginnings start at Great Beginnings Pimpama. Our purpose-built long day care and early learning centre provides child care for families living or commuting through Pimpama, Coomera and Helensvale. Our centre is nearby public transport and we are close in location to Pimpama State Primary College.

As you walk into our centre, you will be immersed in a world where children are inspired to explore, learn and develop. Your child will love discovering our natural, spacious playground which features cubby houses, water play and other exciting play equipment. Children are provided time and space for uninterrupted play as they explore the outdoors to test their limits and develop strength, balance, and self-confidence. Being outside supports children’s overall health and wellbeing.

Our indoor spaces invite exploration with quality resources and learning experiences. Children wonder, create, and test out their ideas as they play with a range of materials in purposeful play spaces. Our experienced educators plan play-based learning experiences around children’s interests and learning goals. Literacy and numeracy concepts are embedded in play-based learning, as children engage as architects, storytellers, scientists, artists, and designers.

Our centre offers a well-planned Outside School Hours Care program catering for school-aged children (5 to 12-years old). Our Before and After School Care programs have various activities that focus on fun and learning! With our Vacation Care program, your child will have endless amounts of fun with a mix of in-centre activities, indoor and outdoor play and visits to the community. In addition, we offer before and after school care and vacation care for Pimpama State Primary College.

There is no need to pack lunches, healthy and nutritious meals as well as snacks are created daily by our in-house cook, catering for all dietary requirements so you don’t need to worry about preparing lunch for your little one. Shared mealtimes between children and educators strengthen relationships, with opportunities to share stories and experiences, and model healthy eating practices.

Each day is a new adventure at our Pimpama childcare centre for your child and we incorporate our children's interests into our learning programs.

Our Family Support Team are happy to chat through your child care needs. Call them today on 1800 517 086 to book a tour at our centre, meet our team of educators, and learn more about why these first five years are so important for your child’s development.

Take a walk in your child's footsteps

Every day is a different adventure with children, but there are some key elements that make your child’s time so enjoyable at Great Beginnings Early Education Centres.
Scroll through the below to see what a typical day might look like.

Arrival at the centre

Experience a sense of belonging as you are welcomed by our friendly centre teams. On arrival, share information about your child’s specific needs for the day. Our experienced educators will support you and your child with the morning transition from home to centre.

Mealtimes

Your child enjoys a nutritious menu prepared by our centre cooks. Shared mealtimes between children and educators strengthen relationships, with opportunities to share stories and experiences. Educators model healthy eating practices and social behaviours, and support children’s growing independence with mealtime routines.

Infant care

Infants are held in educators’ arms for feeding. Bottle feeding with educators or breastfeeding with Mum provides one-on-one time for connection, talking gently and responding to baby’s cues. Everyday routines provide opportunities to strengthen relationships and build language skills through songs, games, and conversations.

Play-based learning

As your child plays, they develop dispositions for learning including curiosity, problem-solving, confidence and resilience. Educators plan play-based learning experiences around children’s interests and learning goals. Play-based learning supports all areas of children’s development, including language and motor movement, memory, concentration, emotions, and social relationships.

Sleep, rest and relaxation

Sleep, rest and relaxation routines match your child’s individual needs. Effective sleep practices help children feel safe and secure to support better sleep. Opportunities for rest and relaxation are always available across the day. Play-based learning experiences are provided for older children who don’t sleep.

Heading home

Experience a sense of satisfaction that your child has enjoyed and benefited from their day at the centre. As you prepare to head home, speak with our friendly educators about your child’s learning and experiences across the day. We look forward to welcoming you back tomorrow.

Our son has been going there since it opened. We are all extremely happy with the centre and the staff are great. Very friendly and helpful. I have recently changed jobs and now drop my son off a lot earlier, we do not have time for breakfast at home but, I know that they will give him breakfast. Highly recommend this centre

Our daughter has been with this centre for over a year and has flourished. Miss Lavinia provides a warm and friendly welcome and farewell every visit and is only to eager to assist wherever she can. They are open to suggestions and improvement via constructive criticism being a new centre. Have enjoyed arching our daughter grow and learn new things over the last year.

Amanda Allen

My 2 youngest daughters go here, and I couldn’t be happier with place. The staff are friendly, always welcoming and all say hello to the girls when they go in. We get daily updates on what they are doing within their classrooms through the Families Storypark app. I am happy knowing that when they are at Eclipse they are under the best of care.
