Who are we?

Bright Beginnings is an independent child care centre located in Chermside West. We focus on play-based education. Our owner, Janine, is also an early childhood teacher. She plays a hands-on role in the day-to-day activities of the centre and ensures the staff and children have all the resources they need.

Our team

Our staff are highly skilled and most have been with us for at least five years (some have been with us for over 22 years). All are over 18 and either have completed, or are completing, tertiary study in early childhood education. They offer a loving, nurturing environment that provides the stability your little ones need to thrive in their most formative years.

Meet the Owners, Janine and Daphne

Do you know who owns your childcare centre? Do the staff? Visit our independent, family owned childcare centre to see the Bright Beginnings difference. Not all childcare is the same!

Hi and welcome to the Bright Beginnings family!

The centre opened in 1993 when a very brave mother and daughter duo decided to build a new service in Chermside (mum and I). My mum Daphne immigrated to Australia in 1958 under the white Australia policy from Ceylon. She is the brains of the duo and ensures all our accounts and financials are perfect. My name is Janine, mother of three teenagers. I hold a Bachelor of Education - Early Childhood from QUT. Thank you for choosing Bright Beginnings for your child’s educational journey!
