About us

Quality care with learning at the heart

After more than a decade, Kids ELC continues to deliver quality outcomes for children and their families, each and every day. Being family-owned and operated helps us keep quality and care at the forefront, with our holistic approach to learning ensuring each child thrives in their environment.

We’re incredibly proud of the high standards our early learning centres uphold against the National Quality Standard (NQS), which is testament to our team’s passion for what they do.

Drawing inspiration from a range of approved educational frameworks including the Reggio Emilia philosophy and Early Years Learning Framework, our play-based curriculum is built on the key principles of respect, responsibility, participation, and courage, all delivered in an enriching learning environment. It’s through this play-based approach that your child will grow, learn, and develop to reach their full potential.

Understanding our mission and values

At Kids ELC, we aspire to incorporate our mission and values throughout everything we do:

Our Mission

To nurture every child’s natural curiosity, joy and individuality in safe and inspiring spaces.

Our Values

  • Trust & Authenticity

    Educators truly know each child because they care. No performances or pretence.

  • Safety first, Joy always

    Parents feel confident their children are safe, while children are free to play, learn and get messy

  • Interest-led Learning

    We follow children’s interests letting them explore the world their way.

  • Connection with Nature

    Outdoor play and natural exploration are at the heart of learning.

  • Happy Educators, Happy Kids

    When our team feel supported and valued, families feel it too.

Our Promise

Our Kids ELC promise to you

At the heart of each and every Kids ELC is a strong belief in the importance of responsive and reciprocal relationships. We make it our mission to ensure this is felt across all our locations. Relationships of this nature are grounded in mutual respect between all members of our centres, from educators and support staff to families and children. This allows us to create a supportive and nurturing learning environment where all children can thrive.

At Kids ELC, we pride ourselves on being uniquely different from other childcare providers. Our learning approach sees us offer a beautiful and engaging learning environment complete with a diverse range of open-ended resources that create countless learning possibilities. By providing a holistic educational approach, we empower children to develop the foundations for further growth, including understanding who they are and where they fit within the world.

We believe children are capable, confident learners who play a key role in their own learning journey. With numerous uninterrupted opportunities for play within our early learning centres, children have the space, time, and resources to imagine, explore, and define their own experiences. Our dedicated educators provide constant encouragement and support, inspiring children to develop a kind and respectful disposition towards others and the environment.

Every day, we endeavour to create joy and wonder for our children and families. We look forward to welcoming you into our community at Kids ELC!
