Supporting Big Futures, Every Day

At Ancora Kids, we help children reach their full potential in a warm and inclusive setting. Our Browns Plains childcare centre is built on the values of empathy, compassion and grit, because we believe children thrive when given the right tools, space and encouragement to grow.

Our philosophy blends Montessori and Steiner influences to foster real-world skills, independence and creativity. Families are welcomed as partners in their child’s journey, creating a true sense of belonging.

Our Program

Play-Based Learning with Purpose

At Ancora Kids, learning is woven into every part of the day through fun, age-appropriate, play-based experiences. Our program supports both social and academic growth to help children thrive, now and in the future.

 

Guided by the EYLF

Our curriculum follows the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), which focuses on the key principles of Belonging, Being and Becoming. Through this nationally approved framework, we help children build confidence, curiosity, and a strong sense of identity.

For children aged 4 to 5 in The Kingdom Room, we offer the Queensland Government Approved Kindergarten Program, delivered by qualified educators. This prepares children for school by developing foundational skills in literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional learning, while encouraging independence and creativity.

Ms Liesl

Meet Our Educators

Ms. Liesl  – Centre Director

I am Liesl, the current director at Ancora Kids Browns Plains. I have been working in the centre for 5 years. My qualifications include: Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care


As director at Ancora Kids, I am passionate about creating holistic, nurturing environments where children feel empowered to explore, grow, and thrive. At the heart of our philosophy are the values of Empathy, Compassion, and GRIT—Growth, Resilience, Integrity, and Tenacity. I believe that when children are supported with love, respect, and opportunity, they demonstrate remarkable resilience, curiosity, and potential.


My teaching approach is inspired by a blend of Montessori and Steiner philosophies. I value providing hands-on, real-life learning experiences that build independence and practical skills, while also fostering creativity through play-based and imaginative exploration. I also embrace the importance of early exposure to STEAM learning and second language development as vital tools for the future.


I see families as a child’s first and most important teachers. Building strong, respectful partnerships with parents helps create a safe and connected learning environment, where every child feels a strong sense of belonging. My goal is to nurture children’s emotional, social, and cognitive development, supporting them in becoming confident, compassionate individuals ready for the next stage of their journey.


At Ancora Kids, I am proud to lead a team that values reflective practice, continuous learning, and a shared commitment to preparing children today, for a better tomorrow.

What our families say…

Outstanding Care and Support! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"My child was initially quite shy and sensitive to new environments, but the educators at Ancora Kids Browns Plains have been incredible. Their care, patience, and skill in supporting each child truly stand out. Since starting, my son has grown so much in confidence—he now comes home singing songs and excitedly talking about what he learned during group time. I'm so proud of his progress and couldn't be happier with the nurturing and enriching environment Ancora provides. Highly recommend!"

You've helped our son grow in so many ways—socially, emotionally, and developmentally—and we are beyond grateful for the nurturing environment you've provided. We're genuinely heartbroken to be leaving such a wonderful centre, but we’ll always carry the warm memories with us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You truly rock, Ancora!"

The positive impact Ancora Kids has had on her development is clear, and we’re so grateful for the love and care she receives from her educators."

FAQs

Our sessions vary in price, but on average families pay a gap fee of between $15 and $50 per day. The exact amount depends on your Child Care Subsidy percentage and the hours approved in your claim.

The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is a government payment that covers a percentage of your fees, making early learning more affordable and helping families return to work. You apply through Centrelink, and your claim sets both the subsidy percentage and the fortnightly hours it applies to.

Alongside the Early Years Learning Framework, we focus on thoughtfully designed environments, close and honest communication with families, and challenging every child to reach their next goal. Our educators are among the most passionate in the sector, and we support families with far more than just daycare.

Yes. We provide three meals a day, morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea, plus an early breakfast before 7am or a late snack after 5pm. Families supply their own nappies and milk

Each day your child needs a backpack, a drink bottle, a cot-sized fitted sheet and small blanket for rest time, 2 to 3 spare sets of clothes, nappies or spare underwear, a wide-brimmed hat, and weather-appropriate clothing and shoes. Comforters are welcome, but please leave other toys at home.

Absolutely. We work closely with families from all walks of life and aim to create an inclusive,
supportive and accommodating environment. If your child needs additional support, get in touch and we’ll meet with you to discuss how we can best care for them.
