What your child experiences at Adeona Mackay
Play-based
Learning
Children learn best when they’re engaged, curious, and having fun. At Adeona Mackay, we embrace a play-based learning approach that supports creativity, independence, and a genuine love of discovery—laying the foundations for lifelong learning.
Unique Learning Programs
Children at Adeona Mackay enjoy a vibrant mix of experiences and programs including L.O.T.E., Auslan, music, movement, and self-expression—nurturing creativity, confidence, and communication from an early age.
Healthy Meals Provided
Nutritious morning teas, lunches, and afternoon teas are freshly prepared each day. We cater to a variety of dietary needs and create a positive food culture where children can enjoy delicious meals in a safe, social setting.
Natural Outdoor Environment
Our outdoor area is designed to encourage exploration, movement, and connection to nature. With natural materials, shaded spaces, and plenty of room to play, children can develop their physical skills and confidence in a safe, stimulating environment.
Nappies, Hats & Sunscreen
To make life easier for families, we provide nappies, hats, and sunscreen daily. These inclusions help ensure your child’s comfort and wellbeing while supporting sun safety and hygiene throughout the day.
Long-term Qualified Educators
Our experienced team of early childhood educators bring warmth, consistency, and a deep understanding of child development. Many have been part of the Adeona Mackay community for years, building strong relationships with families and supporting each child’s growth.
Our Philosophy
At the heart of Adeona Mackay is a passionate and experienced team of educators, united by a shared commitment to early childhood education and care.
Guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, the National Quality Framework, and the Queensland Kindergarten Guidelines, our centre brings to life a philosophy that places trust, respect, and relationships at the centre of every child’s day. We believe children learn best in environments where they feel safe, valued, and supported to explore, grow, and express who they are.
Our approach is grounded in play-based learning and informed by current research and best practice. Together with families and our wider community, we’ve created a nurturing space where children’s voices are heard, their ideas are honoured, and their unique identities are celebrated.
Through long-standing relationships, meaningful connections, and a strong culture of care, Adeona Mackay supports every child to develop the life skills, confidence, and curiosity they need to thrive both today and in the future.

My two boys go here & they love it! The staff are amazing & it feels like a little family.
There is so much for the kids to do & experience! I love how much outdoors time is available & the rooms & outdoor environments are forever changing. We can’t recommend Adeona Mackay highly enough & I wouldn’t want my kids to go anywhere else.

Adeona has been so special for my children. My daughter didn’t have the greatest ability to play with kids her own age before Adeona. My daughter was diagnosed epileptic quite young, I didn’t have the ability to trust anyone to look after her without me before Adeona.
The whole team has been beyond exceptional with her epilepsy care. She is never treated any different but I know she is well looked after. I cannot believe how lucky my daughter is to have all the educators at Adeona who have all been there to look after both my kids. They have been so loving and caring with her and I will miss them immensely. My daughter assures me that she will be back for play dates and fence cuddles.

Words fail to express our inspiring experience at Adeona. Prior to deciding on Adeona I visited many other facilities. I wasn’t looking for child minding but an early learning environment where my daughter would feel happy and secure.
The moment we walked into Adeona I knew I had found what I was looking for. The staff at at Adeona have far exceeded my expectations, my daughter has thrived in their care. She loves Adeona and has always looked forward to attending.
