Discover the World of Extracurricular Experiences at Green Leaves
At Green Leaves Early Learning, we believe in nurturing the whole child, not just through quality education, but through rich, hands-on experiences that inspire curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love for learning.
That’s why we’re proud to offer a wide and ever-growing range of extra-curricular programs for all children who attend our centres. These enriching experiences are thoughtfully woven into our curriculum and are included in our all-inclusive fees meaning families can enjoy peace of mind knowing their child is exploring a world of opportunity without any extra cost.

What our families are saying
Our families are at the heart of everything we do, and we’re incredibly grateful for their kind words and ongoing support. Here’s what some of our parents have shared about their experience with Green Leaves and our extra-curricular activities:
“Our experience with Green Leaves Cannon Hill has been fantastic! The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive to my kids, making them feel safe and happy every day. The nurturing atmosphere is filled with fun activities that my kids adore. I appreciate how the daycare offers chef-curated nutritious meals that cater to dietary requirements, ensuring my children eat well. Plus, parents are treated to barista coffees and gourmet baked goods upon drop-off, which adds a delightful touch to our mornings. Additionally, the diverse curriculum includes Japanese and yoga classes, which my kids enjoy and benefit from greatly. I couldn’t ask for a better place for my kids to thrive and learn. Highly recommend!”
— Derusha Chandan Ram, Green Leaves Cannon Hill Parent
“Green Leaves Griffin has been the most enriching and nurturing centre any of my kids have been to. The staff are always so welcoming and always helpful to accommodate my son’s needs as he requires additional support. Their kindy program has been so helpful as he prepares for ‘big school’ next year. Green Leaves offer so many extra activities including bush kindy, happy feet, martial arts, dental visits and so much more. So grateful to have found such a wonderful centre for my boy to thrive in.”
— Tegan Singleton, Green Leaves Griffin Parent
“We have had a wonderful experience at Green Leaves Carindale. The staff are friendly, welcoming and nurturing and the program and extra-curricular activities are amazing (Bush Kindy, classes that teach Mandarin etc). The office staff are always happy to help and Lydia the director is obviously very passionate in her job role and creating a positive culture for all. Thank you so much for helping my little one grow and develop!”
— Carolyn Robertshaw, Green Leaves Carindale Parent
Every centre is unique, just like your child
One of the most exciting things about our extra-curricular offerings is that they vary from centre to centre. Why? Because we believe each community is different, and so are the children and families within it.
We work closely with parents and carers to continually add and evolve our programs, often bringing in local providers based on community interests and feedback. From puppet theatre and language immersion to sustainability projects and animal encounters, there’s always something new to explore.
