Cabarita / Bogangar
Beach Kids Cabarita
Our first campus, a short walk from Cabarita Beach. Calm, home-like rooms with ocean light, a big shaded yard, and the beach close enough to be part of the week.

Two campuses, one family
Choose the campus closest to your morning
Each campus has its own team, its own rooms and its own rhythm. Have a proper look at both before you decide.
Why families choose us
What confidence in a childcare centre actually looks like
Not a list of features. Four things you can see for yourself the moment you walk in.
You'll know the people
Two campuses, not twenty. Our managers have 19 and 14 years in early education, and the owners are on site, not in a head office in another state.
The coast is the classroom
Bush Kinder and Beach Kinder take small groups into real environments every week. Children learn to assess risk, move confidently and belong to this place.
Ready for school, and for life
Our NSW approved Preschool program builds the things teachers actually ask for: persistence, self-regulation, curiosity and the confidence to have a go.
Real food, cooked here
Our chefs cook every meal on site each day. Children help plant, pick and prepare, so food is part of the learning, not just the timetable.
Signature programs
Bush Kinder and Beach Kinder
Every week, small groups head out with their educators, into the bush, or down to the water. No plastic equipment, no laminated worksheets. Uneven ground, weather, wildlife, and the sort of problems children have to solve themselves.
Real risk, carefully held
Children learn to judge a slippery log or a wave, with educators who know when to step in and when to wait.
Deep connection to place
This is their coast. Children learn its plants, its birds, its tides and how to look after it.
Confidence that carries
Families tell us the child who climbs the tree on Tuesday is the child who walks into the school gate in Year 1.

Where is Beach Kids Early Learning located?
Beach Kids has two Tweed Coast campuses: 68 Hastings Road, Bogangar (Cabarita Beach) and 11 Waugh Street, Chinderah, minutes from Kingscliff.
What ages do you care for?
We care for children from around six weeks of age through to school age, including a NSW approved Preschool program in the year before school.
Is Beach Kids family owned?
Yes. Beach Kids is owned and operated by Kelly and Brent Stokes, who live locally on the Tweed Coast. The owners are involved in the campuses day to day rather than a distant corporate office.
What are Bush Kinder and Beach Kinder?
They are our signature outdoor programs. Small groups of children regularly learn in natural bush settings and at the beach, building resilience, risk assessment, confidence and a real connection to the Tweed Coast environment.
Do you provide meals?
Yes. Meals are cooked fresh on site by our own chefs each day, including morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea, with dietary requirements catered for.
Book a tour
The best way to know is to walk through the door
Tours run during the day so you can see the rooms as they really are, busy, calm, noisy, happy. Bring your child. Ask us anything.
