From delicate seedlings, mighty trees will grow!
As you step through the doors of any of our Piptree centres, you will immediately feel the unique difference that our family-owned and operated childcare provider offers. We are built on a philosophy of understanding, engaging, and caring for your child, with the belief that from these delicate seedlings, mighty trees will grow. Our locations are spread across Brisbane, with centres in Eight Mile Plains, Mt Gravatt East, Sunnybank Hills, and Tanah Merah.
Our Philosophy
At Piptree Early Learning, we have created nurturing environments for children to play, learn, and grow. Our dedicated educators gently guide each child along a journey of care and learning, from Pip to Tree. We believe in fostering a love for learning and encouraging each child to develop and grow at their own pace. Our philosophy is deeply rooted in the understanding that from these delicate seedlings, mighty trees will grow.
Community & Sustainability
The Piptree commitment extends beyond industry-leading care and educating the next generation. We believe that it is our duty to sustain our world for future generations, and we strive to minimise the environmental impact of our business. We are proud to have installed 160 solar panels across our centres, which supply approximately 50% of our electricity requirements. Over the next 10 years, Piptree will remove 500 tonnes of CO2 emissions from the atmosphere, equivalent to removing 250 petrol cars from our roads or planting 15,000 trees!
At Piptree, we are deeply rooted in community spirit, and we engage in a wide range of initiatives from aged care visits, to school excursions, and partnering with local MPs and counsellors. We are proud to support the Global Medical Foundation Australia, and with every Piptree enrolment, we help restore sight to people in vulnerable communities.
