Welcome to our family!

Our Philosophy

We believe that children learn through play and play occurs in all interactions. Play is like air to children; they cannot develop, learn, or thrive without it.

At Kid’n Around children are our focus, so our educational program is guided by children’s interests, abilities and strengths, the principals and practices of the Early Years Learning Framework, the National Quality Framework, the National Law and Regulations.

Kid’n Around is a privately operated early education and care service catering for a maximum of 25 children aged 18 months to 6 years. Childcare services in various guises have been provided at our Centre for over 55 years and was originally established neighbouring Yowie Bay Public School until it moved to its current site. More recently the Centre has been operated as a pre-school, however we have just transitioned to a Long Day Care service so we can continue to offer our pre-school program whilst offering the flexibility of extended hours for working families and some positions for younger siblings.

Our indoor and outdoor areas are well resourced and are designed to stimulate learning and development, foster wonder and exploration within our natural environment and encourage interactions to foster positive relationships within everyone at the Centre.

Our Classroom

We believe that by creating a home like environment, it allows your child to feel comfortable within his or her surroundings and creates a trust between the child and educator.

Our environmental set ups challenge children’s social and emotional, fine, and gross motor and language development. Our indoor and outdoor environment is beautiful and natural with open-ended experiences for children to enjoy.
