Leading early educator opens new site with record pre-enrolments.

Opening Monday 14 August with an incredible pre-enrolment status, Harmony Early Learning Journey’s newest centre is located on the corner of Vulture and Edgar Street, only two blocks from the Brisbane Cricket Ground.

Harmony CEO Laurie Begni says the new centre represents a significant step forward in organisation’s mission to deliver remarkable educational experiences for young learners.

“We are excited to see our vision of providing exceptional and holistic educational opportunities become a reality in East Brisbane,” says Mr Begni.

“Beyond our evidence-based curriculum, we have a team of highly qualified educators eager to provide a nurturing environment that inspires and motivates future generations.”

The expansion will see Harmony operating 15 centres across Queensland and northern New South Wales with a further three due to open in early 2024.

Mr Begni says the interest and pre-enrolment status on the East Brisbane site has been quite significant, with the uptake exceeding expectations.

“This new centre is opening with over 80 percent of enrolments being filled, so there is still availability, but I would encourage families to make inquiries promptly,” he says.

“The surge in enrolment has been swift and significant, reflecting the strength of the Harmony brand and need for quality early education in the community and surrounding areas.

“We continue to refine our proprietary process and engage early with the local community we are working in to meet the demand for our services.”

Mr Begni says the changes to the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) that came into effect at the beginning of the financial year has positively impacted childcare affordability.

“Location and availability are the primary drivers for parents choosing a centre for their child, but the changes to the CCS have helped to broaden our customer base,” he says.

Located at 557-559 Vulture Street, East Brisbane, the new centre will cater for up to 99 children aged birth to five years old.

Harmony Early Learning Journey currently operates 15 early learning centres across Southeast Queensland and Northern New South Wales with a further 3 sites in development. Inspiring beautiful minds with beautiful environments, Harmony ELJ’s foundation is built on ensuring every child receives the best care and education possible in a safe, calm, fun and inclusive learning setting.

A letter from the Harmony Founders; Chris & Gabrielle.

Dear families,

As the proud founders of Harmony Early Education, we often reflect on the journey that began in 2017 and are filled with gratitude and pride for the community we have collectively nurtured.

Our story began 20 years ago with our own children. As devoted parents, we sought an early education option that truly reflected our values—thoughtfully curated learning, beautiful environments, and an unwavering commitment to each child’s unique needs. Every parent understands the desire for a place that truly cares for their children, while also igniting their curiosity, nurturing their growth, and celebrating their individuality. With this vision in mind, we founded Harmony.

We understand the trust you place in us when you choose to leave your child in our care. It is an immense privilege and responsibility to be an extension of a child’s family. At Harmony, we provide an elevated early learning experience for children aged 0-5 years, grounded in proven educational philosophy and evidence-based design.

Every detail, from our carefully curated environments to our holistic early learning approach, is crafted with purpose, attention, and love. Masterfully constructed from the inside out, our exceptionally high standards shape each experience, bringing a quiet confidence and sense of calm to the years that define early childhood.

As a family-founded and privately-owned company, inspired by children and driven by creativity, we are committed to continually improving—to do better, be better, and expect better. Finely tuned to the wants and needs of children, we have created an environment that encourages freedom to challenge and explore, constantly reimagining and redefining the expectations of early learning and childhood development.

Alongside the Harmony team, we are devoted child advocates and experts with a vision excited by innovation and admired by our peers. Standing beside families, we consider it a privilege to offer support and encouragement as their children embark on their educational journey.

We are dedicated to ensuring the Harmony experience is exceptional in every way, and we pursue it with everything we have.

Warmest wishes,

Leading early educator opens new site with record pre-enrolments.
