About Kawana:

Journey Early Learning Kawana, formerly known as Farm Street Early Learning, is a warm and homely 88-place centre that inspires adventure and joy in all children, educators, and visitors. Kawana is a purpose-built centre that is split across two buildings. Our play spaces were designed to provide children with opportunities to interact with their friends to conquer milestones with confidence. We encourage our children to test their boundaries, while we help them to achieve different outcomes.                                           

At Kawana, we have developed social relationships with local organisations, and our children venture out on regular bush kinder excursions to the local parklands to immerse themselves in nature-based play. Our team is built on the foundations of connection, communication and consideration with an inspiring and knowledgeable Centre Manager who focuses on offering continuous support and opportunities to each member of the team.
