Lower Plenty

Welcome to Launchpad Lower Plenty!

Our centre is a home away from home nestled in a beautiful canopy of gum trees and local birds and wildlife. Our children love visits from the local Kookaburras, Cockatoos, Magpies and Possums that come to enjoy our trees and spaces. What a wonderful environment for our children to explore, grow, learn and thrive in! We are proudly family owned and operated, and personal care is our strong point. Launchpad Lower Plenty is the first of our 3 centres and a warm and inviting service where we welcome your family into our family!

We are immensely proud of our indoor and outdoor spaces that are a wonderful balance of calming and stimulating and allow for and encourage our diverse indoor/outdoor program to be implemented. Our beautiful location amongst the trees has inspired our colours and décor and our curriculum and programs. We have open, light filled rooms that are child centric, and every room opens out onto an outdoor play space. The benefits of outdoor play and being immersed in nature are immense and at Launchpad Lower Plenty these benefits can be enjoyed in the most amazing natural surrounds.

The importance of ‘play’ and educating the Whole Child is the focus of our educational approach and we support children to grow their 5 selves: physical, emotional, cognitive, social and creative.  We have an Out and About program to connect our children to their community including visits to our local shops, cafes, parks and the primary school and we implement extracurricular programs including Music, Dance, Art and STEM/Cooking and Swimming lessons for our 4-year-old Kinders.

Our children enjoy incursions and excursions, and we prioritise health and well being with yearly visits from the Dental van, monthly bulk billed visits onsite from Dr Robert our GP and the most delicious, diverse and nutritious menu, with everything made from scratch including our bread!

Our Educators are passionate and dedicated, and we never use Agency staff.

At Launchpad our core values are Respect, Resilience and Readiness and we strive every day to ensure all our children learn and grow in an environment where they are safe, nourished and cared for and where warm inclusive relationships help them be the best version of themselves.
