New Centre Project: Kool Beanz SUNS Glenella, Mackay

16 Jan 2026

Kool Beanz SUNS Glenella reflects our ongoing commitment to the Mackay community, creating a welcoming space where children, families, and educators can learn, play, and grow together.

We’re thrilled to announce a new centre project on the horizon for Kool Beanz, with Kool Beanz SUNS Glenella planned to open in late 2026. This new centre brings the Kool Beanz SUNS experience to the Mackay community, expanding our network of vibrant, supportive early learning environments and continuing our valued partnership with the Gold Coast SUNS AFL club. 

Joining our growing SUNS family, Kool Beanz SUNS Glenella will sit alongside our otherportfolio of centres in Southport and Carrara on the Gold Coast, and Harrup Park in Mackay. Each centre is carefully designed to combine learning, wellbeing, and play, creating spaces where children feel confident, curious and ready to explore the world around them. 

Kool Beanz SUNS Glenella – Street-Level Perspective

Kool Beanz SUNS Glenella will feature bright, engaging indoor and outdoor learning spaces, including Gold Coast SUNS-themed areas designed to inspire movement, teamwork, and self-belief. Every corner is planned with intention, spark children’s curiosity, encourage discovery, and foster a strong sense of belonging, while maintaining the high standards of care and education families have come to trust.  

Each child enrolled will receive their very own Gold Coast SUNS guernsey, creating an instant sense of pride and connection. It’s a small but meaningful way for children to feel part of something bigger, while learning values of teamwork, resilience, and positivity that are at the heart of both Kool Beanz and the Gold Coast SUNS. 

Kool Beanz SUNS Glenella reflects our ongoing commitment to Mackay community. We’re proud to create another warm, welcoming space where children, families, and educators can learn, play, and grow together, building connections and making memories that last a lifetime.
