About Us

At CCC’s Early Learning Centre, we see each child as a precious gift from God. We believe parents are a child’s primary educators, and we are privileged to support you in this role. Our approach is grounded in Biblical wisdom, professional knowledge of child development, research, and practical experience. We recognize each child as a unique, capable learner, eager to explore God’s creation, communicate, take risks, and be challenged. At CCC ELC, we offer diverse opportunities for play-based learning, with staff guiding children through hands-on, real-life experiences rooted in a Biblical worldview and rich values. Our exceptional staff foster a strong sense of community and excitement for learning in a caring, safe environment. We provide stimulating materials that ignite imagination, creativity, and discovery. Sustainability, resourcefulness, and connecting with nature are key focuses, with thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor spaces enhancing learning. We believe children learn best when appropriately challenged yet unhurried, fostering safe, managed risk-taking in line with each child’s development.

Our Story

"For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding." Proverbs 2:6

Cooloola Christian College grew out of the desire of a group of Christian parents to see Christian education available for their children. This vision spread to include the pastors from the Evangelical Ministers’ Fraternal representing the churches from which these parents came. Cooloola Christian College was established in 1992 with an enrolment of 57 children and two teaching staff. The first six months were spent at the Gympie Christian Family Church site until the College moved to Kidgell Street. The College relocated in 1998 to its present site on a beautifully landscaped undulating 10 hectares – located on the Southside of Gympie. The College established a complete P – 12 school with the graduation of the Year 12 class of 2003. Current enrolment is over 480 students.
