About Us
educating kids is:
We are family owned, community focused and proudly accessible. From your very first tour, we want you to feel welcome, relaxed and confident that your child is known, cared for and gently encouraged to grow into who they're meant to be.
Children learn best when they're trusted to explore, ask questions and try things for themselves. Our rooms are set up to invite curiosity, with educators close by to encourage, extend and celebrate every little breakthrough.
Every child has their own pace, personality and interests. Our educators take the time to really know your child, then plan experiences that reflect who they are, what they love and what they're ready to learn next.
You know your child best. We see families as true partners and keep communication warm, open and honest, so the trust your child has with us is built on the trust you have with us first.
Each of our centres is part of a real neighbourhood. We get to know the local schools, families and people who make each community special, and we bring that sense of belonging right inside our doors.
Early learning isn't a race. We focus on the whole child, social, emotional, physical and intellectual, so the foundations we build together carry your child confidently into school and beyond.
As a family-owned provider, we work hard to keep early learning genuinely affordable. We help families understand the Child Care Subsidy and make sure no one feels lost trying to figure it all out on their own.
Our Philosophy
There are four seasons in life. All are special.
At Educating Kids Early Learning we are all lifelong learners!
Within our community we are committed to striving to create a love of living and learning and to provide a warm, inviting, safe and peaceful environment:
That is ACTIVE - where children, families, and staff can be confident, competent, creative and compassionate in their living and learning. To explore, investigate, experiment, think and communicate in a challenging and empowering atmosphere that values and encourages all contributions
That is RELEVANT - where rights and choices are respected and accepted – the right to choose and the right to be. To build on children's experiences, ideas, interests and cultural backgrounds
That is PLANNED and FOCUSES ON THE WHOLE CHILD – where ongoing and coordinated observation is documented, shared and individual. To cater for each child's developmental needs, wellbeing and physical growth and for our early childhood team to acquire an understanding of children's development through careful study and purposeful interaction
That is CHILD CENTRED – where each child is encouraged and empowered to contribute ideas and evaluations. To focus on the learning styles of each child and work together with children in all knowledge areas to jointly construct understandings to gradually hand over responsibility for learning tasks as the child gains understanding and confidence
That is CONSISTENT - where there is companionship, support, trust and a commitment to building connections and maintaining reciprocal and respectful relationships. Promoting partnerships of family and community-oriented learning and values continued participation of parents
That is a FOUNDATION - where there is time for each child and adult to progress, appreciate, relax and grow. For future education and those values that promote cooperative human endeavor to be encouraged, nurtured and empowered
"At Educating Kids we share, care and dare to be."
Child safety
Nothing matters more to us than the safety and wellbeing of every child in our care. We are a child safe organisation and we hold ourselves to the highest possible standard, every day, in every room, at every centre.
Every educator at Educating Kids holds a current Working with Children Check (Blue Card) and completes child protection training as part of their ongoing professional development. We follow the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations, maintain strict supervision ratios, and provide clear, well-practised processes for raising and responding to any concern, no matter how small.
We listen to children, we listen to families, and we act. Children have a right to feel safe, respected and heard, and we work hard every day to make sure that is true at every Educating Kids centre.
