Meet Our Team
Hi, my name is Jade and I am the Centre Manager at Kids Academy Clayton. I have worked in the early childhood sector for around five years and hold my Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care.
I have a passion for early education and believe that this is a vital time in a child's life to educate, guide, and build positive relationships to support them to reach their full potential.I value relationships with families and strive to provide them reassurance and support throughout their time here at Kids Academy Clayton. I do this through open and honest conversations.
I pride myself in leading my team to success by empowering them to achieve their own personal goals which in turn creates an atmosphere where educators are engaged and build strong relationships with children and their families.

Lifelong Learning Starts Here!
At Kids Academy Early Learning, we’re proud to deliver Affinity Education’s exclusive Lifelong Learning Curriculum - Australia’s most advanced approach to early childhood education, thoughtfully designed to nurture each child’s unique potential. Inspired by the best practices of Montessori and Reggio Emilia, our curriculum is enriched with contemporary research, including attachment theory, the Circle of Security, language development from the Abecedarian approach, and Project-Based Learning. The result is a balanced, holistic learning experience tailored to support every child’s growth.
Aligned with Australia's Early Years Learning Framework, the Lifelong Learning Curriculum is carefully structured for three age groups: babies, toddlers, and 3-5 year olds. Each stage builds seamlessly on the last, culminating in a school readiness program that instils confidence, curiosity, and essential skills for success in primary school and beyond.
At Kids Academy, we are dedicated to creating a warm, nurturing environment where your child can flourish. Discover how we combine quality early education with genuine care to help your little one thrive every day.

Exclusive Programs to Inspire and Prepare Your Child
At Kids Academy, we’re proud to provide a range of exclusive programs that make early education both exciting and meaningful. From Positive Living Skills and Big Thinkers STEM to Aussie Wildlife Champions and First Nations education, these enriching experiences spark curiosity and build confidence in every child.
With access to Reading Eggs and MathSeeds, your child will develop a love of reading and numeracy, while the Early Years Toolbox helps us personalise their learning journey to meet their unique needs.
These programs are designed to help your child thrive, preparing them for school and beyond in a caring and supportive childcare environment where they can grow, explore, and succeed.
Positive Living Skills
This program is designed to equip children with essential skills for mental and emotional wellbeing. It helps them develop healthy self esteem and positive relationships, plus gives them tools and strategies that will help in all aspects of their life. Endorsed by Beyond Blue.
Reading Eggs & MathSeeds
These fun, engaging technology-based games help children learn foundational reading, mathematics and problem solving skills. Families enroled in our School Readiness program receive full access to these programs (valued at $250) at no additional charge.
Big Thinkers STEM
Our Big Thinkers STEM program focuses on engaging children's interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. It covers topics like natural science, weather, physics, and biology using a learning-through-play and hands-on approach.
Early Years Toolbox
This app-based assessment tool for children aged 4-5 years is designed to accurately assesses their learning and development in areas such as numeracy, vocabulary, working memory, and aspects of self-regulation. This information in turn helps educators identify future intentional teaching opportunities.
