At Kids Own Early Childhood Learning Centre, we believe that preparing children for school is about much more than learning letters and numbers. It is about building confidence, resilience, curiosity, and a strong sense of identity and belonging.
Both our 3–4 year old and 4–6 year old Kindergarten children benefit from a wide range of programs and resources designed to enrich their learning journey. Through careful observation, planning, and reflection, our educators identify each child’s strengths and needs, then invite various professionals to share, coach, and mentor both teachers and children to reach their full potential.
