Welcome to Kids Academy Early Learning Runcorn
Located at 18–20 Pine Street, Runcorn, just minutes from Fruitgrove Train Station and local bus stops, Kids Academy Runcorn provides high-quality early education and care for children aged six weeks to five years. We’re open Monday to Friday, 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, offering a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where children can grow and thrive.
Our caring and passionate educators are dedicated to supporting your child’s development through our exclusive Lifelong Learning Curriculum — a play-based, research-driven program that helps build confidence, communication, emotional wellbeing, and school readiness.
Children enjoy stimulating indoor and outdoor learning spaces, and take part in regular incursions including Danslands Music & Physical, Physi Kids, and Billy’s Buddies, which add fun and variety to their week.
Our service proudly reflects the rich cultural diversity of our community, with many of our team members speaking Chinese, Filipino, and Korean. We embrace and celebrate multicultural traditions throughout the year, embedding them into our daily practices to create a strong sense of belonging for every child.
We maintain close connections with local schools, including Warrigal Road State School, and offer a government-approved kindergarten program to ensure a smooth and confident transition to primary school. To support healthy development, we also provide fresh, nutritious meals prepared onsite each day.
At Kids Academy Runcorn, your child’s safety, happiness, and growth are our highest priorities.

Start Your Child’s Learning Journey with Us
At Kids Academy, every child benefits from our exclusive Lifelong Learning Curriculum — a nationally recognised early education program tailored to support your child at every stage, from their first day in care through to school readiness. Grounded in the latest early childhood research, our curriculum is nurturing, play-based, and designed to build strong foundations in communication, creativity, confidence, and emotional wellbeing. It’s more than just preparation for school — it’s preparation for life.
Nurturing Growth from 0–5 Years
At Kids Academy, we offer more than just childcare — we provide high-quality early education in a warm, welcoming, and secure environment for children aged six weeks to five years. With experienced educators, age-appropriate learning programs, and a strong focus on emotional wellbeing, we support your child to grow in confidence, curiosity, and capability, every step of the way.
Babies (0-1 years)
Healthy Beginnings Program
Grounded in attachment theory and relationship practices, this program focuses on building secure, responsive relationships between babies and their educators. With nurturing care and emotional attunement, we support babies’ overall wellbeing and development.
Toddlers (1-3 years)
Early Experiences Program
Inspired by the Abecedarian Approach, our toddler program emphasises language-rich interactions, such as conversational reading and learning games. These early experiences build the foundations for strong communication, social skills, and cognitive growth.
Preschool or Kindergarten (3-5 years)
School Readiness Program
Through Project-Based Learning, children are encouraged to explore big ideas, solve problems, and collaborate with others. This hands-on, inquiry-driven approach develops critical thinking, independence, and a love of learning that lasts.
Committed to Safety & Quality
At Kids Academy, your child’s safety, wellbeing, and early learning journey are our top priorities. We follow comprehensive safety protocols as part of our dedicated Safety Commitment, creating a secure and nurturing environment where every child can thrive. Our centres operate in alignment with the National Quality Framework, Australia’s benchmark for early childhood education and care — ensuring high standards, consistency, and peace of mind for every family.
