A Country Garden is a family-owned early childhood education provider based in Harristown, Toowoomba, Queensland. Operating from Willow House and Jacaranda House, the centres offer a warm, supportive environment for children from six weeks to six years, alongside Outside School Hours Care for school-aged children. Founded by Carol Keutmann, whose qualifications include early childhood education and Montessori training, the organisation combines Montessori principles with the Early Years Learning Framework.

Its age-specific programs include Strawberry Patch for babies aged six weeks to two years, Blueberry Lane for children aged two to three, and pre-kindergarten and kindergarten programs. These experiences encourage independence, curiosity, hands-on learning and development at each child’s pace. The centres also provide before and after school care, including transport, homework support and play, as well as vacation care. Calm, home-like classrooms and natural learning materials help children feel secure while exploring and building skills. With more than 30 years of experience, A Country Garden supports children’s emotional, intellectual and physical development and serves families across Toowoomba.
