From time to time, when we are experiencing major illness outbreaks such as COVID or gastro, we may close the Centre to the public (including parents) and implement PUP as a risk mitigation strategy. PUP is our Pick Up Point where arrivals and departures take place at the front gate, as nobody other than our children and our Team are permitted into the Centre. If the community is experiencing a significant outbreak of either of these illnesses at any time, please contact the Centre to ask if we are still open to the public before arriving for a tour.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC
PLEASE NOTE: Depending on the pandemic and other contagious illnesses in the community, at times we may delay conducting tours. Although we do not require an appointment to view the Centre, please do contact us in advance on (07) 3488 0180 to check that we are conducting tours.
As part of our C-19 risk mitigation strategy, we have reduced tour hours in order to keep our children and Team safe throughout the pandemic, therefore tours of the Centre are only able to take place between 9.30am-11am, until further notice.
Storypark is just part of our friendly service!

Each year, we choose a different theme for our Foyer. In 2022, our them is the children's book "We're going on a Bear Hunt". The foyer is filled with a variety of animals and greenery, and there are binoculars for the children to use to "hunt" for the bears on arrival at the Centre each morning.
Welcome!
Bayside Park Early Education Centre is proud to be a family-operated service. Bayside Park Early Education Centre is a purpose-built Childcare Centre with its own secure play area, and excellent resources. The Centre is ideally placed within easy access to Redlands Hospital, and backs onto bushland - which is a pleasant habitat for natural wildlife such as Koalas, and Lizards.
The Centre incorporates an enclosed Playground which has a safety surface, is securely fenced off, and is equipped with a range of equipment to encourage physical development in a safe and secure environment. Each Activity Room enjoys individual outdoor play time, giving our children full access to play areas including the Nandeebie Garden and Kindy Gym.
Our Nursery children also have the opportunity for fresh air in their individual fenced-off play area, as well as opportunities to access the larger Playground, Nandeebie Garden and Kindy Gym in carefully supervised play sessions of small groups.
Although we have never experienced a snake at Bayside Park Early Education Centre, as a precaution the Centre Playground border (including our Nandeebie Garden) is protected by 8 Snake Repellents to minimise risk to children. These Snake Repellents operate through and solar and are therefore functional 24/7.
At Bayside Park, we acknowledge the importance of early education in child development. Our children experience a variety of activities such as art & craft, woodwork, role-play, water play, excursions, song and music.
We encourage and develop the children's love of books from the earliest age, and children are able to visit our onsite "Bayside Park Council Library" to select a book to borrow and take home. This Bayside Park Council Library operates with the support and assistance of the Redland City Council (Cleveland Library) who provide us with a large selection of books on loan every three months.
We aim to create an ethos and environment that fosters resilience and independence, helping the children to make positive choices about themselves and develop a positive self-image. We aim to provide the children with an enjoyable, interesting and stimulating environment in which they can explore and develop through play.
