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.

Our centre provides a stimulating and fun environment to enhance your child's learning in their early years. Learning starts long before school, with the first five years of a child's life being crucial to laying the foundations for their ability to learn throughout their later years.

The year you started working in the early learning industry?
I started working in the Early Childhood Sector in 2011.

Qualification?
I hold a Master of Teaching (Early Childhood) from Deakin University.

What makes you passionate about Early Childhood Education?
Working in early childhood education is my passion because I firmly believe that education
has the power to transform lives, and it all begins in those crucial early years. It is a field that fills my
heart with joy and purpose. By creating a nurturing and supportive environment, I have the privilege of
helping them build a strong foundation for their future success. Every day, I am inspired by their
curiosity and eagerness to learn, and I am grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact in their
lives.

What is your most memorable moment at the centre?
It is the annual graduation ceremony for the kinder children. It holds a special place in my
heart as I witness these young minds, whom my team has nurtured and guided, take their
first steps towards the next chapter of their educational journey. It fills me with immense
pride and joy to see their bright smiles, the twinkle in their eyes, and the sense of
accomplishment radiating from them. The kinder children's graduation is a celebration of
growth, resilience, and endless possibilities, reinforcing my passion for early childhood

Relationships with families and local community-At our early learning centre, we prioritize building
strong relationships with families and external communities. We highly value the involvement of our

contribute by engaging them in our Creative Arts Competition, where they had the opportunity to vote
