Rooted in Connection, Growing Through Discovery
Trusted Family-Owned Childcare and Early Learning in the Redlands
Smart Tots Childcare is now Smart Tots Early Education — a new name reflecting our growth, while staying true to the family values and personal care that have always been at our heart. With two additional centres now part of our family-owned group, we welcome families across Alexandra Hills, Mount Cotton and Capalaba, caring for children from six weeks to school age.
Across all our centres, we remain committed to creating a home away from home, where children feel a sense of belonging, curiosity is encouraged and meaningful relationships help every child thrive.

Welcome to Smart Tots Early Education
Where every parent and child has a voice
At Smart Tots, we believe every parent and child has a voice. As a family-owned early learning provider in the Redlands, we build genuine relationships with families, take the time to understand every child and create a place where everyone feels heard, valued and connected.
Across our early learning and childcare centres in Alexandra Hills, Capalaba and Mount Cotton, our caring educators work in partnership with families to nurture each child’s curiosity, celebrate their individuality and support their development through play, meaningful learning experiences and strong relationships.
With a focus on child safety, thoughtful early childhood education and a shared commitment to helping every child feel known and understood, we create a welcoming home away from home where children can explore with confidence and families know their voices matter.
Because when children feel they belong, they have the confidence to learn, discover and thrive. At Smart Tots, we stand for every child feeling:
Known & understood
Your child’s individual personality and pace are always respected.
Safe to explore
Purposeful spaces and caring guidance make room for confident discovery.
