At Story House Deception Bay near North Lakes, we understand the importance of child-educator relationships. Our goal is to provide an excellent level of care to our children by working with parents, providing a loving home-like environment
Our small size allows us to build strong personal connections. We can take the time to get to know you, and develop positive, caring relationships between our educators and your child.
We partner with you to provide a safe, quality, family-centred learning environment where every child is respected and nurtured. We continually develop our skills and explore new ways to enrich your child’s early learning experience.
Indoor and outdoor play based experiences are an integral part of our program. Educators plan a diverse range of experiences to create opportunities for your child in both structured and spontaneous play.
Our programs are inspired by the wisdom and teachings of early childhood theorists and the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), and aim to develop children’s emotional, social and cognitive intelligence.
The Kindergarten curriculum continues to emphasise play based learning, however offers additional intentional learning times where the focus is on literacy and numeracy, socialisation, self-regulation and independence.

Our centre welcomes families from surrounding suburbs including North Lakes, Rothwell, Mango Hill and Narangba. We offer a state-of-the-art facility boasting beautifully renovated environments, spacious play areas, and modern educational materials.
Our aim is to provide a secure and happy environment where children can develop their intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and language skills to become competent and confident individuals. And for you to feel safe knowing that your child is receiving the best possible care.
Here’s some examples of how gently and gradually introduce skills and competencies to our children that help prepare them for “big” school.
