Home-style family day care for children aged 2 - 5, run by me Katie! I've been an early childhood educator for over 20 years. Just four children at a time, and a whole lot of love.
Hi, I'm Gizmo!
I've been an early childhood educator since I was 14, and spent 5 years teaching in a traditional kindergarten before starting Gizmo's in 2010 - right here in Pacific Pines, across from Jubilee Primary School.
Because I only care for four children a day, I get to really know your child - their giggles, their wobbles, and exactly what makes them feel safe. I'm close by for families looking for family day care in Pacific Pines, Oxenford and Maudsland too.
Never a crowd, always a cuddle when it's needed.
Creating, nature walks and yarning circles - the way little ones learn best.
An individualised school-readiness program built around your child.
Eligible families can claim the Child Care Subsidy.
Katie holds an Advanced Diploma of Early Childhood Education, and has worked with young children for 21 years.
Assessed against the National Quality Standard, the same framework that rates long day care centres.
Current Queensland Blue Card, plus current first aid, CPR, asthma, anaphylaxis and child protection training.

"I'd definitely recommend Gizmo's. The quality of the relationship my son built with Miss Katie and his playmates was remarkable. He's now well and truly school ready and confident."
Simone Hepburn · Former parent
