My daughter has been attending this daycare for the past three years, and I honestly could not recommend this centre highly enough. The educators are warm, engaged, attentive, and genuinely caring. Many of the staff have been there for a long time, which really speaks volumes about the centre and the positive environment they have created. The communication from both the educators and office staff has always been exceptional, and we have always felt supported and informed. My daughter will be heading off to big school next year, and we will be so sad to leave, as this centre has been such a positive and important part of her life. I would highly recommend this daycare to anyone who values a nurturing, supportive, and welcoming environment for their child.

Our son attended Robina First for 3 y, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the experience we ALL gained. From the day he started to the day they had their little graduation, the place was always filled with warmth, support and care. Teachers in Mabo helped us so much at the beginning each morning to settle him with cuddles and kind words. It feels like family from the moment you walk in, its small, all the teachers know all the kids, the way the classrooms are set up next to each other. Place has a playground my son absolutely loved, it was always neat and tidy with plenty of toys and Miss Adriana and Miss Jan put lots of work managing the place to run smooth. Great educators & amazing support staff, they all have made this experience truly special. Thanks x

My two kids have been attending Robina First since 2021. The staff are consistent, attentive, and caring. It’s also not a very big daycare, which contributes to the high-quality service :-)

Outstanding centre run by none better than Miss Grandma Jan! As our daughter starts Prep this year, my wife and I would like to thank all the awesome staff who have been apart of our daughters journey these past 3 years, she moves up to school very well prepared due to the excellent curriculum and educational programs run here. The staff have been incredibly kind and caring, and the children are always happy. This positive atmosphere is a testament to the leadership of Miss Jan and Miss Adrianna. Thank you, team! I highly recommend this place if you're in the area and looking for quality care.

Robina first is so much more than just a childcare centre, they are a family. One we are so lucky & thankful to be a part of. They have helped bring our boy up to be the most beautiful, happy, loving little man we could’ve ever asked for & we are so lucky to have our little girl there now too. Our children have/are always so well cared for by this amazing team & Miss Jan has always gone above & beyond to help since we first met 8 years ago. We will be forever grateful for the love, support & nurturing our babies have received throughout this time in their lives. Can’t recommend Robina First highly enough 🩷

Our daughter has attended Robina First Early Learning Centre for several years and we have been highly impressed with the service. The educators are knowledgeable, kind and hardworking. We love the various activities that they organise for the kids. We have been particularly impressed with the centre manager, Ms Jan. It is clear that she is passionate about her job and invested in the development of the kids.

Both of my boys have attended Robina First over the last three and a half years, and we've had a wonderful experience. The staff are lovely and genuinely caring, always making sure the kids feel supported and valued. The curriculum is fantastic, offering a great balance of learning and play that has helped my boys develop both academically and socially. I’m truly grateful for the positive impact Robina First has had on my children’s early years, and I highly recommend it to other families.

Our 4 year old son has been attending Robina First Early Learning since he was 17 months. He’s moved through every room, with educators who have been loyal staff to the center for many years who are warm, nurturing and professional - you can tell they have a genuine love and passion for their job. They create amazing activities each day and are always going out of their way to keep the children engaged. The center is managed by a beautiful soul, Miss Jan who has been extremely kind, patient and nurturing to our son who cried at drop off for almost 2 years straight. I feel confident and at ease knowing my son is in such capable & professional hands. Highly recommend this childcare for any parent looking for a supportive, caring, and enriching environment for their little ones!

We absolutely love this centre and all of the staff are just so great! I found it really difficult to find a centre that I was comfortable leaving my daughter, we toured so many centres and we were about to give up when someone recommended Robina First!! So glad they did because we could not be happier. My daughter loves going to kindy each day and the staff have always been so kind and supportive. The centre always feels so calm to come into and have long standing staff which is also great! The kids are very well cared for, educational programs are very well planned, we’re super grateful for this space 🙏🏼 Thank you Robina First Team!!

More Than Just Daycare

Where Character, Beliefs, and Connections Grow. Families from Worongary choose us for our focus on the whole child — drawing on Waldorf, Montessori, and Reggio Emilia approaches with long-standing educators who genuinely care.

Monash Room 3–5 Yrs · Gov-Approved Kindy

+

The Monash Room is home to our Queensland Government Approved Kindergarten program — a play-based curriculum designed to build the confidence, social skills and early learning foundations children need before starting Prep.

Chang Room 2½–5 Yrs · Gov-Approved Kindy

+

Children in the Chang Room — our Senior Kindy group — spend plenty of time outdoors, tending to garden boxes and developing the social confidence and environmental respect that set them up well for Pre-Prep.

Hollows Room 2½–3½ Yrs · Age of Wonder

+

The Hollows Room is all about discovery. As children ask "why" and "how" about the world around them, they're also building the small-muscle strength in their hands that will support writing down the track.

Mabo Room 15 Months–3 Yrs · Big Emotions

+

In the Mabo Room, our educators work closely with families to support toddlers through big changes — from understanding emotions to toilet learning — using gentle, language-rich routines every day.

Worongary Families — Your Questions Answered

We know choosing a centre close to Worongary is a big decision, so here's everything you need to know before your child starts their journey with us at Robina First. Can't find what you're looking for? Get in touch →

Do you offer extra-curricular activities?

+

Yes! Our kindy children take part in a rotating program of extras throughout the week — Yoga on Tuesdays, Creative Dance on Wednesdays, Tennis on Thursdays, and Soccer on Fridays. It's a fun way to build coordination, confidence and a love of being active.

Is Robina First easy to get to from Worongary?

+

Yes — many of our families travel from Worongary as part of their daily commute, with our centre just a short drive away. We have plenty of off-street parking for quick, stress-free drop-offs and pick-ups, even during busy peak times.

Can we visit the centre before my child starts?

+

We'd love that! New families are always welcome to drop in for a look around before their child officially starts. Late morning (around 9–11:30am) is a great time to visit, as you'll see outdoor play, morning tea, and our educators working with the children — it helps everyone feel more settled before day one.

What should my child wear to childcare?

+

Send your child in clothes that are comfortable and ready for mess — paint, mud and water play are all on the cards! Sleeved tops are recommended as part of our SunSmart approach, and while we apply sunscreen during the day, a morning layer at home is a good habit too.

Are meals provided throughout the day?

+

All meals — morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea — are provided and made fresh on site. The menu rotates weekly, includes plenty of fruit and wholegrain options, and is low in added salt and sugar. Everything served is nut, egg and pork free, with allergies and special diets always catered for.

What do I need to bring for my child each day?

+

A few essentials each day: a named water bottle, a spare outfit, nappies and cream if needed (cream should have a chemist label), any comfort items like a dummy or soft toy, and bedding (a fitted sheet and blanket) in its own labelled bag. The more things are named, the easier it is for our team to keep track.
