KingKids Childcare

Educational Philosophy: At KingKids, we have an emergent play based curriculum and believe that every child has the right to access quality Early Childhood Education where they have the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive in an environment that can support them to develop as an individual.

Activities: At KingKids the activities offered are a direct reflection of the interests, abilities and developmental goals of the children within our environment. Our learning programs are designed in a way that is flexible, allowing children to create and extend on their interests. This is not only reflected within our classrooms, but also our Community outings, Bush Kindergarten and In House Programs.

Safety Features: Safety is one of the pillars in our philosophy, and we understand the importance of creating safe spaces for children to grow and learn. Each month we practice emergency drills within our service to ensure children are equipped with the knowledge and skills to stay safe. Safety is reinforced on a daily basis by conducting physical environment checks both indoors and outdoors.

Outdoor Play Areas: Our outdoor learning environments are equipped with age appropriate activities for all children to enjoy. Featuring sandpits, bikes and natural spaces for children to enhance their connection to our world.Whether your child would like to climb, run or create an artwork, every child will be supported to explore their interests within our outdoor spaces. .

Classrooms: All of our learning environments are equipped with age appropriate resources that directly reflect the interests and needs of the children within that care environment. The joy, colour and culture within our environments are created by the children and educators within that classroom.We strive to ensure that all children can see themselves reflected in their space.

Meals and Snacks: Based on a nutritionally balanced diet, all your child’s meals are provided, including breakfast (offered until 8.00am), morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a late snack. Thanks to our fully equipped kitchen and experienced cook at each KingKids centre all the healthy childcare meals and snacks we provide for your child are cooked and prepared daily onsite.
