Our age-based programs are part of the exclusive Lifelong Learning Curriculum, Australia’s most advanced early education framework. Each stage supports your child’s development in a way that is engaging, research-based, and tailored to their individual needs. Whether your child is just starting to explore the world or getting ready for school, we provide the experiences, environments, and educator support to help them thrive.
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.

Flexible and Affordable for Families

Flexible and Affordable for Families
We welcome children from as young as 6 weeks of age up to school age. You can enrol at any time throughout the year, depending on availability. Whether you’re returning to work, transitioning from parental leave, or simply looking for early learning opportunities, we’re here when your family is ready.
Most Kids Academy centres are open from approximately 6:30am to 6:30pm, Monday to Friday. Opening hours may vary slightly between locations, so it’s best to check with your local centre. You can drop off and pick up your child at any time within operating hours, offering flexibility that works around your schedule.
Yes! We offer flexible enrolment options, including full-time, part-time, and occasional care, depending on availability at your chosen centre. Many families choose 2 or 3 days per week, while others require full-time care. Speak to our Family Support Team on 1800 244 532 or with your local Centre Manager to discuss what works best for your family.
The cost of care depends on a few factors, including your Child Care Subsidy (CCS) eligibility, the number of days your child attends, and your centre’s daily rate. Most families are eligible for CCS, which can significantly reduce your fees.

The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is a government program that helps families with the cost of approved child care. Your subsidy rate depends on your income, your activity level (e.g. work or study), and the type of care you choose.
To apply:

Once approved, your subsidy will be paid directly to your child care provider, reducing your out-of-pocket fees. If you need help applying, our team can guide you.
