Meet our Team
My name is Kerry Gibbs, and I am honored to have spent the past 41 years as a dedicated Early Childhood Educator, passionate leader, and proud advocate for the early learning profession. Over the years, I have embraced various roles - from Assistant Educator to Lead Educator - and have had the privilege of serving as a Centre Manager for the last 20 years.
I consider myself a lifelong learner, continually expanding my knowledge, refining my pedagogical approaches, and developing strong leadership skills. On a personal note, I am a devoted mother of two and a proud grandmother to four wonderful grandchildren who bring endless joy to my life.
As a leader, I strive to create an inclusive, collaborative environment where open communication and positivity thrive. I am deeply committed to supporting the growth and success of my team, fostering a workplace culture that prioritizes quality education and employee wellbeing. Mentoring and coaching my team of educators is one of the most rewarding aspects of my role, and I take immense pride in leading such an incredible group of professionals at Kids Academy Mickleham.

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.

Nurturing Growth from 0–5 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 relationship practices, 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.
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.
