Where does Pibbly visit?
Pibbly travels to early learning centres, kindergartens and schools across Brisbane, and further out across South East Queensland by arrangement. Pibbly does not run a venue. There is nowhere to drive your child to, because the session happens where your child already is.
Which areas are covered?
Brisbane is the standing service area. Everywhere else listed is available by arrangement, which means the timing has to work against the rest of the week rather than being a standing weekly slot. The further out it is, the more the day has to be built around it, so ask early.
Every week
- Inner Brisbane
- Brisbane North
- Brisbane South
- Brisbane East
- Brisbane West
By arrangement
- Moreton Bay
- Logan
- Ipswich
- Redlands
- Sunshine Coast
- Gold Coast
Further out than this, ask. A centre that wants Pibbly enough to work around the drive is usually worth the drive.
If your suburb is not on this list, that is not a no. It means nobody has asked yet.
Do you run incursions for North Brisbane childcare centres?
Incursions for North Brisbane childcare centres run every week, not by arrangement. Brisbane North sits inside the standing service area alongside Inner Brisbane and the south, east and west, so a booking there is scheduled the same way as any other Brisbane booking: agree a day and a time that suit your routine, and the session repeats through the term.
Do you run kindy incursions in Logan?
Kindy incursions in Logan run by arrangement. Logan borders Brisbane to the south, so the drive is not the obstacle and the visit is real. What has to be agreed is a day and a time that work against the rest of the week. Where in Logan makes a difference too: Springwood and Browns Plains are close in, while the Beenleigh end is roughly halfway to Surfers Paradise. Tell us the suburb and we will tell you honestly what is available.
Are there incursion providers for Ipswich childcare centres?
Pibbly is an incursion provider for Ipswich childcare centres, by arrangement. Ipswich sits west of Brisbane and the constraint is the motorway rather than the distance, so the visit is real but the day and the time are agreed with the service rather than chosen from a list. Springfield and Goodna are the closest end of the council, the Ipswich CBD sits in the middle of it, and the western towns out past Rosewood and Marburg are the furthest. Everything else matches a Brisbane booking: the same free first session, the same 30 or 45 minutes, and the same price to families.
Do you run childcare incursions in Moreton Bay?
Childcare incursions in Moreton Bay run by arrangement, and where in Moreton Bay matters more than it does in the other bordering councils. The region runs from North Lakes and Redcliffe, which are close in, through Burpengary in the middle, out to Caboolture and Bribie Island, which are not. Tell us the suburb rather than the council and we can say whether it works as a regular slot or as a visit scheduled around the drive.
Do you run early learning incursions in Redlands?
Early learning incursions in Redlands run by arrangement. Cleveland, Capalaba and Victoria Point are a straightforward drive east from Brisbane, so the day and the time are the only things that need agreeing. The Southern Moreton Bay islands are a different proposition, because they are reached by ferry from Redland Bay rather than by road and a session there has to be built around the timetable. Ask before assuming it either way.
Do you run incursions for Gold Coast childcare centres?
Incursions for Gold Coast childcare centres run by arrangement. Surfers Paradise is about 70km from the Brisbane CBD, so it is not a standing weekly slot the way an inner Brisbane suburb is, and the day has to be built around the drive. That is why the day and time are agreed with the service rather than offered from a list. Ask and we will tell you honestly what is available.
Do you run Sunshine Coast childcare incursions?
Sunshine Coast childcare incursions run by arrangement. Maroochydore is about 91km from the Brisbane CBD, which is over an hour each way, and an hour on the road is an hour that cannot be a session. The visit is real and the constraint is honest: the day and the time are agreed with the service rather than chosen from a list. Ask and we will tell you what is available.
Why is Brisbane weekly and everywhere else by arrangement?
Because Pibbly is one person, not a franchise with a roster of contractors. Every session is delivered in person by the same teacher, so the constraint is driving time rather than demand. Inner Brisbane, Brisbane North, South, East and West are close enough to hold standing weekly slots. Everywhere further out costs an hour or more each way, which is an hour that cannot be a session, so those visits are scheduled deliberately instead of promised loosely.
My suburb is not on the list. Does that mean no?
No. A suburb missing from this page usually means nobody there has asked yet, not that Pibbly will not travel. Tell us the name and the suburb of the centre and we will tell you honestly whether it works. A centre that wants Pibbly enough to work around the drive is usually worth the drive.
What does a centre have to provide?
Less than most services expect. This is the whole list.
A room, or a corner of one
A mat space or a table the group already uses. Nothing is installed, moved or left behind. Pibbly arrives with the sorobans and the workbooks and takes them away again.
Thirty minutes in the day you already run
Sessions are 30 minutes for ages 3 to 5 and 45 minutes for age 6. The time is set with you, around your routine, not across it. Most services pick a slot inside their existing indoor programme block.
Your own supervision arrangements
Sessions run inside your ratios and your supervision, with your educators in the room. There is no unsupervised contact at any point. Every session is delivered in person by Karin Jordaan, who holds a current Blue Card and QCT registration.
Nothing else
No cost to the service, no invoicing, no forms, no staff time. Parents enrol and pay Pibbly directly.
How does a visit get arranged?
- 1
Someone asks
Either the service enquires directly, or a parent tells us where their child goes and we approach the service. The second route works better than it sounds: that conversation goes much further when a family has already asked for it.
- 2
One free session, one group
The first session is free, for one group, at a time that suits you. No commitment and no paperwork. If your families do not love it, that is the end of it.
- 3
A standing weekly slot
If it works, we agree a day and a time and it becomes part of the week. Parents enrol and pay Pibbly directly, in blocks of four sessions.
Is your centre in reach?
Tell us the name and the suburb. If you are a parent, we will approach them for you. If you run the service, the first session is free.
