Together We Shine: Celebrating the People Who Help Your Child Flourish This Early Childhood Educator Day
At Kids Academy Early Learning, we believe that every child’s learning journey is brighter when we walk it together. As a parent, you want to know your child is in the care of educators who not only teach, but also nurture, guide, and celebrate them as much as you do.
This Early Childhood Educator Day (3 September), we’re celebrating the incredible partnership between our educators, families, and children, because together, we shine.

Building Confidence: Your Child’s First Dentist Visit Made Easier
Recently, I took my 3-year-old to the dentist for the very first time. We’d talked about being brave on the way, but when it was her turn, she felt too nervous to open her mouth. The dentist reassured us this was very common, and suggested she watch me at my next appointment before trying again.

For young children, it’s an opportunity to build a genuine connection to culture, Country, and community from the very beginning.
Raising Curious Kids: How to Set Up a Play-and-Learn Space at Home
There’s something magical about watching your child play with deep focus — building, sorting, chatting to their toys, lost in their own world. It’s in those quiet moments that real learning is happening. And the good news? You don’t need a fancy playroom or a house full of toys to make it happen.
At Kids Academy, our classrooms are carefully designed to spark curiosity, creativity and confidence through purposeful play. But those same kinds of learning moments can happen in your living room, too — with just a bit of thought and a cosy corner carved out just for them.
This post will help you create a simple, engaging play-and-learn space at home — without spending a fortune — using the same learning zone principles our educators use every day.

You finally get to the door—only to realise the backpack’s still on the kitchen bench… and someone is now crying over the wrong water bottle.
