About the Business
Welcome to Green Beginnings, a family-owned early childhood institution located in Bokarina, Australia. Situated on the picturesque Sportsmans Parade, just steps away from the beautiful Lake Kawana, our center offers a nurturing and stimulating environment for children aged 18 months to kindergarten age.
At Green Beginnings, we believe in providing play spaces that embrace nature, stimulate the mind, invite conversations, and warm the soul. Our centers have been thoughtfully designed by experienced Early Childhood professionals who respect and acknowledge the rights of young children to a joyful, beautiful, and wonder-filled childhood.
Inspired by the principles of the Reggio Emilia Educational Project and Nature Play Theory, our everyday practices are shaped by research and our own unique vision and philosophy. We see children as capable and competent individuals, valuing their right to be heard, their right to be different, their right to be loved, and their right to peace.
Respecting and paying homage to the natural world, the land, and its history, we understand the interconnectedness we have with all life forms. This understanding forms the basis of our curriculum, which emerges from the ideas, wonders, thoughts, questions, and interactions of our children. In our play spaces, diverse and shared meanings are celebrated, creating a safe and inclusive environment for all.
We also recognize the importance of the bond between children and their families. We strive to show connections between home, our play spaces, and the wider community, fostering valuable learning experiences. Relationships, whether with people, places, or things, are at the core of our beliefs and ingrained in our practices.
At Green Beginnings, we prioritize creating a welcoming, respectful, and safe environment where children feel loved and valued. We believe that children learn best when they are supported and respected as active participants in our community. Parents and families are valued for their traditions, connections, and hopes and dreams for their children. We view parents as partners in their child's learning journey.
We also actively seek to connect with people of all ages and forge strong partnerships with our local community. These partnerships enrich and support the learning that takes place within our environment, empowering our youngest citizens to make valuable contributions to the wider world.
At Green Beginnings, we invite you to join our community, where children's rights, voices, and unique identities are celebrated, and where families are valued as partners in their child's education. Come and experience the warmth, joy, and wonder that Green Beginnings has to offer.

Reviews
"Refused my son due to his health status. Said directly in front of son, sorry but he’s not welcome to attend here. Was traumatic for the both of us. As lovely as the centre looked and the people seemed at first, not a place I’d recommend if they can treat people that way."
"We are justo incredibly happy with this Centre. Our little one feels safe, secure and is flourishing thanks to the caring staff and wonderful facilities. I have found each and every staff member kind, engaging and you can really see that they love what they do. Green Beginnings philosophy puts the children first in all that they do with such respect and nurture. Plus as a family we feel a part of the Green Beginnings community."
"Just happened to browse over the average review Green Beginnings suddenly had. What a shame to think this could ever make anyone doubt how magnificent this place is!! (Also such a completely unjustified(!), personal attack in that last review. No one deserves that - and honestly none of that nonsense about Leonie resonates with me - or anyone else, I’m sure!) I currently have both my kids at Green Beginnings, and my son has been there for 2 years now. This is sincerely an A+ place to have your kids! I recommend it to everyone!! Their interpretation of the Reggio Emilia philosophy is on point, and gets the absolute best out in all the kids. In the 2 years my kids have been here, there’s been no staff turn-over and all the teachers working there do such an incredible job - my kids love them and often asks if we can invite them to come to our house - which I guess is the best signal that they enjoy it! Most impressively everyone is always(!) keeping cool in the chaos (let’s face it - daycares are busy!). Sam and Leonie are the most incredible directors - they are both the most caring and engaged characters and they care passionately about the families and they work hard to create the best play and learning-environment for the kids! The families there are amazing, and we always enjoy getting together! I could go on and on (clearly!), but just wanted to clear things up, as it pains me to see that average rating - so misleading!"
"Great daycare. Has a wonderful vibe the educators for the seedlings room were wonderful my son gets excited to go there and I’m very excited for him to move to Sprouts this year. Never had any problems here with anything just very thankful for all the staff there. Highly recommend to all my other mumma friends"
"I was really nervous about starting my two daughters in kindy/daycare, however after having a good look around at other centres, I felt very comfortable to be sending them to Green Beginnings. Both my girls absolutely love going there and have both learned so much since they started, my eldest daughter in particular who is in the kindy room has really come out of her shell. All the carers there are absolutely lovely, I couldn't speak more highly of them all."
