Uniting Early Learning Toowong is a preschool and long day care service in Toowong, Queensland, located at 78 Sherwood Rd on the doorstep of Toowong Village. It serves children from 6 weeks to 5 years, with an approved kindergarten program for children aged 3.5 and over. The centre describes itself as a safe, nurturing, stimulating environment, and its welcoming, inclusive atmosphere is centred on the belief that every child’s voice is heard. It is a place where children can feel supported, included, and at home, with hearing, deaf, and hard of hearing children learning and playing side by side.
A key part of the school’s approach is its bilingual program, which uses both Auslan, Australian Sign Language, and spoken English.

The centre also notes support for Deaf and Hard of Hearing children. Experienced educators guide children through this stage of development, and the service says it is focused on building a strong foundation for learning and life. Additional features mentioned by the centre include a focus on developments in brain development, including sleep, meditation, and nutrition.

The centre also highlights indoor learning spaces that are light-filled and engaging, along with two cosy indoor spaces for younger and older children. Freshly cooked meals are prepared onsite, and the service says it can accommodate special dietary and allergy requirements. Meals and nappies are included, and the centre is open Monday to Friday from 6.30am to 6.30pm. The photos and descriptions also suggest a lively, hands-on environment, with room for creative play and a variety of resources.
What makes Uniting Early Learning Toowong distinctive is its inclusive bilingual environment, where communication, community, and belonging are given clear emphasis from the very first day. The mix of outdoor exploration, indoor learning spaces, and educator support may suit families looking for a centre that combines care, play, and a strong sense of connection.
