Our Story.

We're Ara and Marios, a passionate husband and wife team committed to our centre's philosophy and ethos. We believe in leading by example, which is why you'll find us working hands-on behind the scenes, ensuring that we stay true to our values and deliver on our promises. For us, everything we do has a purpose and a "why" that drives our unwavering passion for providing premium, high-quality care.

We're not just the owners; we are the brand itself—representing a profound love for sustainability, animals, and the environment. We strive to teach children to be active contributors to their surroundings, nurturing respect, empathy, social responsibility, kindness, and gratitude. Our dedication to children's nutrition is boundless. We want every child to develop a love for healthy food and establish positive habits that will accompany them throughout their lives. That's why we prioritise high-quality, nutritious ingredients, focusing on a balanced and nutrient-dense diet. But it doesn't stop there! We take sustainable learning to the next level by teaching urban farming, recycling, and reusing. From growing our own seasonal food to reducing landfill by recycling food scraps and utilising worms for fertiliser, we empower children to understand the full cycle of sustainability.

We feel immense gratitude for the ongoing support we receive from the incredible Sunshine Coast families who are a part of our community. None of this would be possible without our amazing team of passionate managers, educators, chefs, and even a zookeeper! They make our vision a reality, and we're truly grateful for their dedication. With a decade of industry experience, we've had the joy of working directly with children, and We love jumping back into the centre every now and then to read stories, embark on bear hunts, and partake in our many extracurricular activities. We look forward to planting the seeds of play, nurturing the love of learning, and witnessing your child flourish and grow in our locally-owned Sunshine Coast Childcare Centres.
