Where Childcare Isn’t a Service, but a Journey

Nestled in the heart of Clontarf, Sesame Lane Childcare Centre opens its doors to every child and family, marking the beginning of a remarkable educational . Here, we don’t just care for your little ones; we ignite a passion for learning, foster communities, and partner with families to script an individualized chapter in each child’s story.

At Clontarf Childcare Centre, our approach to early childhood education is to provide a program of unique and tailored experiences. We believe in nurturing curiosity and exploration, and our child-led learning environments are imbued with play-based pedagogies that reflect the interests of young minds. With educators who are both mentors and playmates, we cultivate a love for the environment, a respect for diversity, and a thirst for knowledge that is as boundless as the children’s imagination.

Through immersive community partnerships and a curriculum that champions sustainability, we connect the dots, showing children the interplay of their personal development with the wider world. Our centre glows with excitement as families are invited into our community — to contribute, to witness, and to experience the growth of their child first-hand.

Your child’s safety, happiness, and thriving are at the heart of every decision we make. Our qualified staff members undergo continuous training and are certified in first aid and childcare safety standards. Furthermore, we pride ourselves on eco-conscious play areas that inspire care for the environment from the earliest of years.

As you seek the perfect place for your child’s early learning experience, consider joining us for a personalised tour. See first-hand how we organically blend warmth, wisdom, and innovation into the very fabric of every day at Sesame Lane. Let’s shape a splendid future, where every child’s unique potential flourishes — where families and educators walk hand in hand on a journey of early education excellence.

Service Manager

About Therese Tompson

Therese won the Moreton Bay Region Employee of The Year Award.

I view children as competent, capable, active and constructive beings that are dependent upon adults or more informed peers for learning, education and care. I believe that young children need time to mature and develop knowledge of themselves in their world prior to the commencement of formal education.

I will encourage and support children’s interests and personal styles of learning, patiently allowing them to develop naturally and biologically.Having been in the childcare industry for 30 years in both NSW and QLD, I take on a mentoring role with respect to children’s growth and development allowing them to naturally unfold. I encourage family involvement in our program and regular information exchange between home and our child care setting.

I also encourage the development of social networks between children and families. I believe in respect of individual differences as they relate to ability, gender, economic status, ethnicity and religion. I have a commitment to the next generation to teach and guide ecological and environmentally sustainable practices.
I hold an Advanced Diploma in Children’s Services and have worked in the Early Learning Sector for 40 years. I have been with Sesame Lane for 20 years, so you can be assured of continuity of care for all children under my charge. In my role as Service Manager, I have a responsibility to provide high quality care to children, their families, my fellow Educators, our management team and the community of Clontarf and Redcliffe.

I will uphold Sesame Lane’s principals, values and promise to nurture and encourage Healthy Happy Learners.

Testimonials

“Our family has adored our time with everyone there, especially Amanda and Michelle who have done so much for both of our children. I would not have managed 3 under 3 without all of your help! Thank you so very much.”
– Much love, The Robertsons

“Sesame Lane just keeps getting better and better. It is going to be a very sad day when we have to say goodbye at the end of the year. All the childcare staff at Clontarf brighten not only my daughters day but mine too. Walking into Clontarf in the morning is like getting a warm hug. The staff are genuinely interested in how the whole family is and start our day off in a positive manner every day. After 11 years in the childcare system from Sydney to the Gold Coast and finally to the peninsula, Sesame Lane is the best family facility we have encountered by far. The past 3.5 years have been the best years of our lives. My only regret is that we didn’t find you earlier.”
– The Meredith Family

Meet the Clontarf Team

Katie Lloyd Educational Leader

When working with children, my vision revolves around five fundamental words: Love, Nurture, Allow, Trust, and Believe. These words serve as the cornerstone for children’s development, learning, my program, and the nurturing environment I create to support and enhance their educational journey. Each child deserves to be cherished, nurtured, respected, trusted, and believed in.

As an Educational leader, I find great joy in mentoring and empowering educators to be the best versions of themselves, making a positive impact on the children under our care. Being an educator means actively participating in the construction of a solid foundation for children, fostering their love for learning that will last a lifetime. Witnessing and being part of a child’s formative first five years is an absolute privilege.

Guided by philosophies, driven by effective leadership and mentoring, we cultivate the use of play, meaningful relationships, and the National Quality Framework (NQF) to establish a strong groundwork for children’s holistic development and lifelong learning

Kym Eason Kindergarten Teacher

I love to encourage the children in my care to dream – dreams lead to big ideas and inspire children to step beyond their comfort zone.

I am passionate about watching and helping children try their best and experience that light that goes into their eyes when a concept clicks for them. I enjoy working in partnerships with families to prepare children for the big step to prep, focusing on social, emotional and physical development.

I have lead many classes of Kindergarten children from their first term of Kindergarten throughout the year, supporting each one of them every step of the way. Each child is unique and so their learning should be too. Kindergarten graduation is so bitter sweet. I am always so proud of how far each child in the class has come, it’s astronomical how much they develop and grow in that one year. When graduation rolls around, I’m always a little sad to send my class off to school because the bonds that are formed in that year are so strong.

Another highlight of my career has been when my Kindergarten children and families come back the next year when they start school and sometimes even the year after to say hello and show off their school uniforms and new skills they’ve learnt. My job is so rewarding, I’m a very lucky and passionate Teacher.
