Nursery Child Care for Babies Aged 0-1 Year

Healthy Beginnings

Babies aged 0-1 years

We know your baby’s earliest emotional, social and physical experiences will have a direct impact on their future resilience and wellbeing, and we are here to support that journey. Kids Academy's Healthy Beginnings nursery program offers babies aged birth to 1 year a safe, nurturing environment to begin their early learning journey.

Our qualified childcare educators are trained and accredited in the Lifelong Learning Curriculum by Affinity Education Group. This incorporates the Circle of Security, Attachment Theory, and Key Educator approach.

Our educators are recognised for their loving and caring commitment to each baby’s individual needs, and happily adapt to your baby’s routine.

What Babies Learn

During their first year, babies develop trust in people and their environment. Without this secure foundation, learning in other areas cannot flourish. Our Lifelong Learning Curriculum supports those first connections, allowing emotional security, self-identity and self-confidence to emerge.

How Babies Learn

Through their strong relationships, our trained and accredited educators are able to ‘tune in’ to the individual preferences and personalities of your baby. They partner closely with families to create a Circle of Security so babies will thrive. Your baby will experience personalised care from qualified and credentialed educators, positive socialisation with other babies, flexible feeding and sleep routines and more.

Where Babies Learn

Our Healthy Beginnings nurseries are thoughtfully designed, with spaces for babies to explore and play, safely sleep and enjoy their meals. Look beyond the toys and you’ll see the careful planning and understanding of how babies develop and learn in their first year. Our Lifelong Learning Curriculum zones include stretch & grow, cosy corner, completely connected and discovery.

Kids Academy Early Learning Centres | Child Care & Early Education for Children Aged 0-5 Years.

Outdoor Play Area

Each Kids Academy Early Learning Centre features an exciting outdoor play area for children to explore, build confidence, and develop friendships.

Outdoor play is an essential experience for young children as it plays a vital role in their physical, cognitive, social and emotional development.

The outdoor play area is different at each Kids Academy centre, but all include a large playground, cubby house, sandpit and space to run, jump, balance and climb. It's bright, colourful, and kids love it!

Meals Prepared Onsite

Each day our Kids Academy Centre Cooks prepare a wide variety of nutritious meals and purees onsite for the children and babies in our centres, taking the time to involve the children in meal preparation and healthy food education.

Creativity is essential when satisfying a number of young food critics every day, as is care, to ensure children's daily nutritional needs, and any individual cultural or dietary requirements are being met.

Note: A small number of our centres do not provide meals. The Centre Manager will let you know when you meet the team prior to enrolment though.

Reconciliation

We have partnered with Wandana Aboriginal Education to deliver a purpose-built Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural education program for children.

This unique program is an immersive cultural learning experience for all students and teachers, and includes weekly classroom activities, as well as an authentic Aboriginal handmade artefacts and education kit.
