"Staff members and parents/carers of children who attended the centre on 21 August 2020 will be followed up by public health staff and quarantine notices will be issued to all those who were at the facility on that day.
"The follow up will occur over coming days, due to the large number of staff members and children who require follow up."
The news comes after Queensland recorded four new cases of the virus on Saturday, bringing the total number of active cases to 24.
