First neighbourhood opening in Belivah
Great neighbours,
right next door.
Little Neighbours Belivah is a brand new early learning centre being built right next door to the families of Belivah and the wider Logan community, opening early 2026.
The Neighbours way
We believe in plain-spoken care and the enduring power of a local handshake.
Human scale
Smaller groups, more room to breathe, and educators who truly know your child's name. No industrial-scale childcare.
Wholesome craft
From timber shelves to a garden-to-table kitchen, every corner is made with the same care we'd give our own home.
Open doors
We're a village square. Parents are welcome to linger over a coffee, share a story, or read on the rug.
Long walk home
Belivah is where we begin. We grow slowly, one neighbourhood at a time, so each community gets the whole of us.
A day with us
Little days, built the way you’d build them at home.
A gentle rhythm from open to close. Nothing rushed, nothing scheduled to the minute, just the shape of a good day.
- 07:00Doors open
A soft landing.
Educators greet each family by name. Early arrivals settle in with breakfast, a book, or a quiet cuddle.
- 08:30Morning gathering
Hello, neighbours.
The whole room comes together for a song, a story and a check-in on how everyone’s feeling today.
- 09:30Studio time
Hands busy, minds humming.
Art, sensory trays, block building, dramatic play, child-led, educator-guided, always unhurried.
- 10:30Morning tea
Fresh from the kitchen.
Seasonal fruit and something warm baked that morning. Eaten together at the little table.
- 11:00Outside
Boots on, hats on.
Sandpit, mud kitchen, veggie patch, the gum-tree grove. Rain or shine (mostly shine, this is Queensland).
- 12:30Communal table
Lunch, together.
Real food, made from scratch, eaten side-by-side. A rhythm of the day that feels a lot like being at home.
- 13:15Rest
Slow the day down.
Little ones nap. Bigger ones stretch out with a picture book and quiet music.
- 15:00Afternoon play
Second wind.
Kinder program in one corner, water play in the other. Educators follow the curiosity in the room.
- 16:00Afternoon tea
One more little feed.
A savoury bite and something to drink before the walk out the door.
- 18:00Doors close
See you tomorrow.
A handover on the veranda: what they made, what they ate, what made them laugh today.
Programs
From first steps to first day of school.
Four programs, one continuous village. Educators grow alongside your child, so faces stay familiar as they move up.
Nursery
Slow days shaped around your baby's rhythm, feeds, naps and cuddles led by educators who learn your routine by heart.
Toddlers
Room to toddle, tumble and try. Messy play, first words, and the beginnings of little friendships.
Explorers
Curiosity-led days with sensory play, storytelling and outdoor adventures. Independence, gently coached.
Kindergarten
A government-approved kinder program woven through play. School-ready without ever feeling like school.
The centre
A home away from home, thought through to the last detail.
Garden-to-table kitchen
A working kitchen where cooks prepare fresh, seasonal meals daily. Kids help pick herbs from the garden beds.
Nature play yards
Sandpits, mud kitchens, veggie patches and a shaded gum-tree grove. Room to run, dig, climb and daydream.
Purpose-built studios
Light-filled rooms sized to the age group inside them. Timber, soft textiles, and low shelves for little hands.
A quiet reading nook
A cosy corner with cushions, picture books and window seats, for the moments a small person needs to slow down.
Family veranda
A wrap-around porch with a coffee pot on. Parents are welcome to linger at drop-off or pick-up.
Everything included
Nappies, wipes, sunscreen, hats, meals and snacks, all provided. Turn up with your little one, we handle the rest.
Meet your centre manager
“Every child gets known by name, and every family knows they can knock.”
Sarah is a mum of two, a qualified early childhood teacher, and has spent the last fifteen years leading centres across South-East Queensland. She’s the one you’ll meet at the door on your first visit, and every morning after.
Her promise for Belivah is simple: keep the days small, the welcome warm, and the door always open.

Good to know
The questions every parent asks.
Early 2026. We'll confirm the exact opening week with waitlist families first, so you can plan orientation, holidays and settling-in visits ahead of everyone else.
Six weeks through to school age, across four rooms, Nursery, Toddlers, Explorers and a government-approved Kindergarten program.
Doors open at 7:00am and close at 6:00pm, Monday to Friday. We're closed on public holidays and for a short break between Christmas and New Year.
All meals prepared in our on-site kitchen, nappies, sunscreen, hats, art supplies, incursions and our full kinder program. No hidden extras.
Yes. We're an approved provider, the CCS is applied automatically to your daily fee once your Centrelink details are confirmed.
Absolutely. Once we're a few weeks out we'll invite waitlist families in for a tour, a cuppa, and to meet Sarah and the team in person.
