A Nurturing Environment for Every Age Group
At Keiki Mindarie Keys, we provide outstanding early childhood education tailored for each age group in a playful and secure environment. Our carefully planned educational programs support children’s development at every stage, ensuring they receive the best foundation for learning and growth. All age groups enjoy direct access to thoughtfully designed learning spaces and natural gardens, with outdoor play deeply integrated into our curriculum. From our baby and toddler care to kindy and preschool programs, we offer an exceptional learning experience for every child.
Baby Care
Our baby care program at Mindarie Keys helps your child begin their learning in a nurturing and safe environment. Designed to stimulate healthy growth and development, the activities are ideal for babies typically aged between 4 and 18 months.
Toddler Care
We also provide a play-based learning program designed for children aged around 18 months to 3 years. Through our toddler program, children are encouraged to develop language, social and self-help skills through stimulating and engaging experiences.
Three Plus Kindy
At Keiki, we want all our children to have access to a tailored learning program that is developmental, age and interest appropriate. To enhance a child’s development, we provide learning environments and educational games catered to older children in the three plus kindy room. Children also play and socialise together, allowing older children to be introduced to leadership roles and younger children to learn by watching.
Incorporating a proven preschool program, we help children aged 3–5 build essential social, emotional and physical skills. This helps ease their transition to formal schooling. We put emphasis on play-based learning, promoting inquiry, problem-solving and foundational development in a child-centred environment.

The nurturing and safe environment at our Mindarie early learning centre is fostered by passionate and experienced educators. Staffed by a Centre Coordinator, Assistant Coordinator, Early Childhood Teacher and qualified Educators, our Mindarie Keys team is dedicated to providing your children with the best-quality childcare and early education.
