About Us

Our Story

Toowoomba Gardens is a privately owned and operated early learning centre in the heart of Toowoomba. The centre opened in early 2019, the sister centre of the highly regarded and award winning Highfields Gardens Early Learning Centre in Highfields.

Our owners are intimately involved in the centre which not only ensures a high quality service, it also frees the management team from excessive bureaucracy so they can focus on our team and families. Our families come first and everything we do is focused on making their experience as rewarding and positive as possible.

Lisa
“This centre is amazing. The facilities have been carefully designed and are wonderful for the children. But by far the best aspect is the staff. My children, one of whom has Autism, ADHD and anxiety, absolutely adore the staff and love attending this centre. My autistic child was miserable in his previous child care centre, and it is so wonderful to see him thriving, and loving every day he is there. My other child was relatively happy in the previous centre, but is now even happier, and enjoying an improved learning and play experience, and better relationships with the staff. The staff genuinely love the children, and show a level of sensitivity to the children that I’ve never seen anywhere else. I can’t speak highly enough of this centre and staff. Strongly recommend!!”
