A Nurturing Start for Your Baby
Healthy Beginnings (0–1 Years)
We understand how important - and emotional - this first step can be.
Choosing care for your baby is one of the biggest decisions you'll make, and at Kids Academy, we’re here to ensure it feels safe, supported, and right for your family from day one.
Our Healthy Beginnings program, specially designed for babies aged 0–12 months, offers more than just care. It provides a secure, loving environment where your baby is guided through their earliest learning experiences by educators who truly get to know them.
This program marks the first stage of our exclusive Lifelong Learning Curriculum - Australia’s most advanced early education framework - tailored to support children through every step of their development, from birth to school age.
“The first year of life lays the foundation for every stage that follows. Babies thrive when they experience warm, responsive care - and it’s through these relationships that they begin to feel safe, explore their world, and learn to connect with others.”
Center on the Developing Child, Harvard University
Grounded in Love, Backed by Research
During their first year, your baby’s brain is developing at a remarkable rate, forming over one million neural connections every second. These early experiences are critical in shaping how they think, feel, and relate to others.
That’s why our Healthy Beginnings program is built on evidence-based practices, including:
- The Circle of Security – Helping babies feel emotionally secure through safe, nurturing relationships
- Attachment Theory – Recognising that strong bonds with caregivers support lifelong learning
- The Key Educator Approach – Ensuring your baby is cared for primarily by one consistent, loving educator
Babies who experience consistent, responsive care in their first year are more likely to develop strong communication skills, self-confidence, and emotional regulation as they grow.
Helping Your Baby Feel Safe, Loved, and Curious
Every baby is unique, but all babies thrive when they feel secure and supported.
Through our Healthy Beginnings program, your baby will:
- Form a strong, trusting bond with their Key Educator
- Engage in sensory-rich, play-based learning experiences
- Begin developing early language and communication skills
- Explore emotions in a calm, responsive environment
- Discover the world around them at their own pace, with expert guidance
A Day Full of Comfort, Connection, and Discovery
Your baby’s daily routine at Kids Academy mirrors the rhythm of home life - flexible, familiar, and focused on their individual needs.
A typical day might include:
- A gentle welcome and one-on-one cuddles with their Key Educator
- Tummy time and exploration in our Stretch & Grow Zone
- Rest time in a quiet, softly lit nursery with sleep checks every 5-10 minutes
- Interactive story time, music, and movement
- Outdoor exploration in a baby-safe environment
- Bottle feeds or breastmilk, nappy changes, and care routines, tracked and shared with you
- Social interaction and uninterrupted time for bonding and play
We partner closely with families to align your baby’s care with their home routines, right down to every cuddle and bottle.
A Calm, Purpose-Built Environment Just for Babies
Our nursery rooms are designed with your baby’s wellbeing, development, and safety at the forefront.
You’ll find:
- Soft, sensory-rich play areas for movement and discovery
- Tranquil sleep rooms with individual cots and continuous monitoring

Educators Who Feel Like Family
At Kids Academy, we pride ourselves on having educators who are not only highly trained, but deeply caring and intuitive.
Our Key Educator Approach ensures that your baby is supported by one consistent caregiver who takes the time to understand their cues, celebrate their milestones, and build a relationship based on trust and love.
You’ll receive daily photos, updates, and open communication, so you always feel connected to your baby’s day.
“I was nervous about starting care, but the moment I met the educators, I knew she was in safe hands. Now, she reaches out to them with a smile every morning.”
- Tessa, mum of 10-month-old Zoe
