Meet our Team
Hi, my name is Donna and I'm the Centre Manager at Kids Academy Melton. I have been a part of the Early Childhood Sector since 2006 and hold a Diploma in Children’s Services. I am a passionate and enthusiastic Early Childhood Educator, Teacher, and Manager and I am proud to be a part of the Kids Academy team.
What inspires me most about Early Childhood Education is witnessing children grow, discover, and support them in fostering their learning and development through fun and meaningful learning spaces. It's truly rewarding to be part of a child's journey, from their first steps to their adventures at school. I take pride in leading this incredible team and being part of the community, working together to achieve the best possible outcomes for all children. I firmly believe that every child deserves the right to a nurturing, educational, and, most importantly, fun environment where they can freely explore their surroundings and learn through open-ended play experiences.
I eagerly anticipate meeting you at the centre.
Everything You Need, All in One Place
Starting child care often comes with lots of questions — from understanding fees and the Child Care Subsidy, to knowing what to pack, what's on the menu, and how we’ll keep you updated throughout the day. To make things easier, we’ve brought all the essential information together in one place. Visit our For Families page for clear, helpful guidance — whether you’re just starting to explore your options or preparing for your child’s first day.
We are Committed to Quality
Our centre practices, policies and procedures align with legislative requirements as outlined in the National Quality Framework. This means that every effort is made to comply with the Education and Care Services National Law and the Education and Care Services National Regulation, the approved learning frameworks and the National Quality Standards.
Start Your Child’s Learning Journey with Us
At Kids Academy, every child benefits from our exclusive Lifelong Learning Curriculum — a nationally recognised early education program tailored to support your child at every stage, from their first day in care through to school readiness. Grounded in the latest early childhood research, our curriculum is nurturing, play-based, and designed to build strong foundations in communication, creativity, confidence, and emotional wellbeing. It’s more than just preparation for school — it’s preparation for life.
Nurturing Growth from 0–5 Years
At Kids Academy, we offer more than just childcare — we provide high-quality early education in a warm, welcoming, and secure environment for children aged six weeks to five years. With experienced educators, age-appropriate learning programs, and a strong focus on emotional wellbeing, we support your child to grow in confidence, curiosity, and capability, every step of the way.
Babies (0-1 years)
Healthy Beginnings Program
Grounded in attachment theory and the Circle of Security, this program focuses on building secure, responsive relationships between babies and their educators. With nurturing care and emotional attunement, we support babies’ overall wellbeing and development.
Toddlers (1-3 years)
Early Experiences Program
Inspired by the Abecedarian Approach, our toddler program emphasises language-rich interactions, such as conversational reading and learning games. These early experiences build the foundations for strong communication, social skills, and cognitive growth.
Preschool or Kindergarten (3-5 years)
School Readiness Program
Through Project-Based Learning, children are encouraged to explore big ideas, solve problems, and collaborate with others. This hands-on, inquiry-driven approach develops critical thinking, independence, and a love of learning that lasts.
Our Commitment to Safety and Quality
At Kids Academy, your child’s safety, wellbeing, and early education experience are our highest priorities. We follow strict safety protocols as part of our dedicated Safety Commitment, creating a secure and nurturing environment for every child. Our centres operate in line with the National Quality Framework, which sets the national benchmark for early childhood education and care in Australia — ensuring quality, consistency, and peace of mind for families.
