About Us
Located on sunshine coast hinterland at Cooroy. We, Fireflies Early Learning, are more than just a childcare centre – we’re a vibrant, family-owned community where children and families come together to learn, grow, and thrive. Our commitment is to create a nurturing, supportive environment that feels like a second home – a place where curiosity is celebrated, and every child’s unique journey is embraced.
Adventure Awaits...
Our carefully crafted environments, both indoors and outdoors, are designed to inspire wonder and exploration. From the lush, nature-inspired outdoor play spaces to thoughtfully curated indoor learning areas, every corner of Fireflies Early Learning is created with intention. We provide children with the time, tools, and encouragement they need to explore, discover, and develop at their own pace.
At the heart of everything we do is a dedication to connection – between children, families, educators, and the wider community. We believe that strong relationships are the foundation of meaningful learning experiences, and we strive to build lasting partnerships with the families we serve.
Our Philosophy
At Fireflies Early Learning, we believe that children are natural learners, brimming with curiosity and potential. Through play, exploration, and meaningful connections, they discover the world around them and their place within it.
Our role as educators is to foster this innate curiosity by creating an environment rich with opportunities for discovery. We celebrate each child’s individuality, encouraging them to express themselves, take risks, and embrace new challenges. By nurturing their growth and supporting their development, we aim to ignite a lifelong love of learning and a strong sense of self.

Our Values
Curiosity and Courage
At Fireflies, we believe every question sparks a journey. We nurture children’s natural curiosity and encourage them to explore the world around them with confidence and courage. Through open-ended play, gentle guidance, and meaningful experiences, we help children build the resilience to try new things, ask big questions, and discover who they are.
Inspiration and Expression
Imagination is at the heart of how children learn, communicate, and make sense of the world. We celebrate creative expression in all its forms — through art, movement, music, storytelling and play. Our environments are designed to inspire wonder and ignite a child’s inner world, giving them the freedom to express themselves authentically and joyfully.
Nurture and Flourish
Children thrive when they feel safe, seen, and supported. Our educators create nurturing environments where every child is valued for their unique strengths and personality. With warmth and intention, we foster a sense of security and belonging that allows children to grow emotionally, socially, and intellectually — flourishing in their own time and in their own way.
Community and Connection
We believe in the power of relationships. At Fireflies, we welcome every family with open arms and honour the diverse backgrounds, cultures and stories that make our community so special. We foster meaningful connections between children, educators and families, creating a sense of shared belonging and purpose that extends beyond our walls.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to light the way for every child. We’re here to support their unique journey, helping them develop the skills, confidence, and resilience they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.
