Your Go-To Drop-In Daycare in Sunshine Coast
Convenient Care for Unpredictable Days
Flexibility is key. Simply bring your child in whenever you need— reservations required! Whether it's for a few hours or a full day (8:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m), we offer hourly or daily rates that adapt to your schedule. Just drop by, and we’ll take care of the rest in our nurturing, nature-filled environment! We offer a space where your child can grow, learn, and thrive in a safe and loving environment. Our bilingual daycare offers flexible, personalized care for children aged 30 months to 5 yo.
At Le Jardin de Basile, we believe children grow like trees—strong, rooted, and full of potential. Our space is designed to nurture this growth with an engaging ind, and creative play opportunities.
Our program offers themed play activities inspired by the elements—earth, fire, water, and air—encouraging children to explore and connect with nature in creative ways.
We don't dictate strict sessions but instead observe and respond to what the children are most interested in. From nature walks to creative art, our goal is to help your child grow through fun, exploration, and social interactions.
Our Approach:
A Lifestyle Of Leaning and Exploration
At Le Jardin de Basile, we know life is full of surprises! That’s why our flexible drop-in childcare is designed to help you whenever unexpected events pop up. Whether you need a couple of hours or an entire day, we’re here to provide a warm and nurturing space.
Check out our program and daily activities! Our caring educators will greet your child and ensure they enjoy their time in our dedicated childcare area. Children will play and learn in a climate of trust, either individually or in groups. With a fully equipped facility, including a cozy nap space, we’re ready to care for your little ones for up to 8 hours.
How It Works
Introducing your toddler to a new daycare environment, can be hard. That’s why we offer a gradual entry process to help ease the transition, especially for little ones who may find it harder to part from their parents.
We encourage visits beforehand so you and your loved one can become familiar with our daycare space, and we invite all new families to book a tour.
Our goal is to make sure your child feels comfortable in their new environment so that you can be at ease.
Feel free to contact us before your child’s first booking to discuss the best approach for their smooth entry into our care.
