About our centres

About Us

Our Logan and Capalaba centres are unique and special places where children and their families can play and learn in safe and friendly surroundings.

The days of child care as merely a babysitting service are long gone, and our Centres are a proven example of that fact.

We have carefully designed and planned our Centres to thoroughly cater for all the needs of young children and to fully comply with the latest Queensland Child Care Regulations. Our Centres are licensed and approved by the Department of Communities, providing security and peace of mind for families whose children are in our care.

Fully supervised developmental programmes are provided for each age group, with kindergarten and pre-school programmes for children in those age groups. Qualified staff are individually selected for each position from a range of qualified and experienced candidates.

123 Grow Centres are part of the family owned Superior Care Group which specialises in delivering childcare and aged care services to Queenslanders. We pride ourselves in providing personalised local service to our customers and our owners are directly involved in the operation of each Centre.

Parents are welcome at any time to visit a Centre or spend time with their children and have the opportunity to participate in extra curricular activities should they wish to do so.

We would be delighted to answer any queries or provide further information should you wish to contact us. We look forward to being of service to you.

How many children will be at our centre?

The number of children varies in each group depending on the age of the children. There are only 8 to 12 in the youngest age groups and up to 24 in the older groups. The numbers are set by government licensing regulations.

How much will it cost?

That depends on your percentage of subsidy under the Childcare Benefit scheme. Your percentage is calculated on the basis of your gross family income. If you haven’t yet been assessed, you simply lodge an application form with the Family Assistance Office and they advise what percentage you’re entitled to. We simply charge you the difference between our total fee and the subsidy, and we claim the subsidy from the Government on your behalf.

What do the children do while they're at the Centre?

There are organised daily programmes for children in each of the age groups. Obviously the programmes will vary depending on the age grouping. For younger age groups, programmes are carefully tailored to suit their development level. For older age groups, there are detailed and well-planned kindergarten and pre-school programmes to meet the developmental needs of those age groups. We use modern learning and development techniques with equipment such as computers for the children. But there will also be plenty of fun things to do both inside and outside, such as painting, woodworking, water play and so on.

Do children take long to settle in?

Every child has his or her own special way of adapting to being placed in care, but most children, settle in very quickly with the assistance of our experienced and caring staff. We welcome phone calls from parents to check on their children’s progress during the settling in period, or at any other time if there’s anything you’d like to discuss.

How many days per week do I have to book?

Bookings can be made for any number of days per week. However, it is generally recommended that you book at least two days per week to ensure that the child is getting enough contact with the staff and the other children to establish good relationships and settle in properly.

Do I have to have permanent booked days?

Generally, bookings are for the same days each week as casual or occasional care can only be provided if there is a vacancy in a particular age group on the day you wish to bring your child.
