Why families choose us

Three reasons parents book a tour this week.

30-Day Happy Start Guarantee

Try us, risk-free.

Join Life ELC and take the first 30 days to truly settle in. If it doesn't feel right for your family, you're free to leave with no notice period and no penalties. Because finding the right environment matters.

Free Kindy

15 hours of free kindergarten, every week.

Eligible children receive 15 hours of free kindy per week, 40 weeks per year, in line with the Queensland Government's Free Kindy initiative — a strong start to their education at no cost to you.

Small by design

Just 60 children. Truly known, every day.

Our smaller size isn't an accident — it's our point of difference. Educators know every child's name, every parent's story, and every little win along the way.

"My kids love it here and the staff are very caring and helpful. They always have time to answer questions or communicate about the kids. They are flexible and help in whatever way they can to support me as a working parent too. Highly recommend Life ELC!!"
