Nature-Based Child Care Near Westlake
Kenmore Hills Early Learning is just minutes from Brookfield — where children discover, explore and grow through the magic of nature play.
A Quiet Suburb Deserves an Extraordinary Centre
Westlake is a peaceful, well-planned suburb on Brisbane’s western edge — known for its leafy streets, family-friendly atmosphere, and the tranquil waters of Lake Kurwongbah that give the suburb its name. It’s a place where families choose to put down roots, raise children, and build a life that feels genuinely good. At Kenmore Hills Early Learning, we share those same ambitions for every child who walks through our doors.
Our Wildhood philosophy brings nature, play, and deep human connection into the centre of children’s days — from our weekly Wildlings Forest School adventures to our hands-on animal encounters, edible gardens, and mud kitchens. For Westlake families who already live close to the green corridor of Brisbane’s west, our centre feels like a natural next step.
Affordable care, outstanding quality – the perfect combination for your family.
What is the Child Care Subsidy (CCS)?
The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is a government program that helps families access affordable childcare by covering a portion of fees. Your subsidy amount depends on your family’s income, work or study hours, and the type of childcare service you choose. This support makes quality early learning more accessible, giving your child the best start in life.

Nursery – nurture, comfort and support
Our Educators know it is vital for children to feel safe, and supported to become confident little learners, and that they develop a sense of belonging as they become familiar with routines and provided opportunities. This is why our team encourage regular communication with parents to gain an understanding each child’s individual needs.
Toddler – inspire, challenge and adventure
Toddlers are active learners and are always on the move. We know that children love to play and be free to explore so we foster this by providing a caring, happy, challenging and stimulating environment. To put it simply, we encourage the children to play, and therefore to learn. This environment has been designed to foster the active toddler and to get them involved in age-appropriate learning that involves, music, dancing, art, and dramatic play just to name a few.
Junior Kindy - independence, socialise, grow
Our Educators are about creating inspirational learning spaces for children daily, to help stimulate and encourage children’s learning and involvement with others.
In amongst all the playing and exploring, the children will also get an opportunity to relax and rest in their rooms either by having a sleep or playing with some quiet activities to help rejuvenate them for their further exploring in the afternoon.
Kindergarten – milestones, learning, flourish
ased around the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines the program helps to develop every child’s social, emotional, physical, intellectual and language abilities. In Kindergarten children will flourish with all the unlimited opportunities provided to them, the biggest one being that the children will have the freedom to explore and experiment, with no limitations on their individual learning journey.
