Kids Club Montessori Highfields is an early learning centre that will give your child the freedom to explore and develop. Our Philosophy follows the Montessori Method of Education where we believe that children are capable learners who strive in prepared environments. This brand-new centre caters for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years old and offers a purposeful play program that encompasses the whole child.
Our passionate Educators guide children’s own natural curiosities and fosters their individual needs so each child can grow at their own pace. We do this through a prepared environment with five curriculum areas, one of which is Practical Life; where children develop lifelong skills such as caring for themselves, their peers, and their environments. We pride ourselves on providing the highest quality education and care to your child by embracing the Montessori Philosophy alongside the principles and practices of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), the Australia’s national curriculum framework for early childhood education.

Meet Makaye - Your Centre Director
Hi, my name is Makaye and I am the centre Director here at Kids Club Montessori Highfields.
I started my career in 2010 as a nursery assistant and have worked my way up to Centre Director, bringing 13 years’ experience in the early childhood sector. I hold a diploma in children services as well as a certificate IV in training and Assessment. I have a strong passion for the early childhood industry, as a busy mum of two children I understand just how important high-quality education and care is for you and your child.
Our centre fosters Maria Montessori’s approach to early childhood education. My favourite aspect of Montessori’s philosophy this far in my journey is grace and courtesy, which encourages children to build social skills, and understand their relationship to the people and world around them.
I am enthusiastic to lead our Kids Club Highfields Team and I look forward to meeting families and becoming an active member of the Highfields community.
Centre Activities
At Kids Club we have certain room routines that educators follow. The routine will vary, depending on current events and activities. Having a routine in each of the rooms allows for smoother transitions into new activities, meals and rest time. The routine is available to families so you are aware of what your child is doing at certain times.
From 6:30am
The day starts with family grouping sessions where breakfast is served. Here is when you can say goodbye to your little one. After breakfast, your child has time to play and learn at their own pace.
From 8:30am
The children will transition into their own rooms and begin our “three-hour uninterrupted work cycle”. During this time children are able to move freely between our indoor and outdoor prepared environments (Weather permitting)
Our practical life area’s are prepared so that the children are able to access fresh fruit and vegetables at their own leisure.
Our three-hour uninterrupted period allows the child to explore their work deeply. This contributes directly to the development of concentration and provides opportunities to collaborate and problem-solve.
From 9:30am
We offer the children a progressive morning tea from 9:30am to 10:15am during the work cycle.
From 10:30am
This is where educators can make observations of what your child likes to do. During this time we also hold group activities with the children, as well as one on one meaningful lessons.
From 11:30am
Our three hour work cycle ends and we offer the children a progressive hot lunch form 11:30am – 12:15pm, If your child has dietary requirements they will be served an alternate meal.
From 12:30pm
Sleep or rest time after lunch your child will have a rest in a peaceful tranquil room with educators patting if requested. If your child does not require sleep, they will take part in quiet activities such as reading.
From 2:00pm
After your child wakes up, afternoon tea will be served. If your child has dietary requirements they will be served an alternate meal. We encourage our toddlers and preschoolers to serve themselves their own afternoon tea.
From 2:30pm
Depending on the weather, your child will be offered to play indoors/outdoors for free playtime. This is where educators can make observations of what your child likes to do and prepare for future planned experiences based on interests.
From 3:30pm
In the afternoon, Kids Club provides a variety of engaging activities that are designed to encourage a variety of skills including enhancing children’s fine motor development, gross motor development and school readiness behaviours, as well as helping them build a sense of local community, multi-cultural values and the identity of self. To find out more about the specific program we are currently running, please speak with your Centre Director during the tour.
Kids Club Daily Menu
All meals at Kids Club Childcare centres are freshly prepared on-site using high-quality ingredients and following Annabel Karmel’s recipes and a 4-week rotational menu. Meals are tasty, nutritious and freshly-prepared by our qualified chefs in order to meet the daily dietary requirements of all attending children.
Weekly menus are displayed outside the kitchen. We welcome your input for different recipes or cultural meals. As much as possible, we attempt to cater to individual likes and dislikes, whilst incorporating multicultural tastes and diets.
Breakfast

Morning Tea
Morning tea offers children a wide variety of fresh fruit and vegetables, yoghurt, toasted melts and baked goods, as well as a selection of water or milk. In our older rooms, we encourage children to help themselves.

Lunch often consists of a variety of cooked meals or sandwiches and a cool drink. Our onsite chefs are preparing recipes conceived to packing in plenty of goodness whilst ensuring mealtimes are anything but bland.
Afternoon Snacks

Child Care Subsidy
The Australian Government provides families with financial assistance to help cover the costs of approved child care – the Child Care Subsidy.
Since 2 July 2018, Australia has a new child care package. Under the new package, the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) replaces the existing Child Care Benefit and Child Care Rebate. CCS is the main way the Government assists families with their child care fees.
Child Care Subsidy Net Fee Calculator
We have developed a Child Care Subsidy Net Fee Calculator, to give you an idea of how much your out of pocket costs are after the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) has been applied at your nominated Kids Club centre. Click here to go to the Kids Club Child Care Subsidy Calculator

Preparing for the First Week
The transition for children into child care is an important milestone for children and families. This transition can be challenging and emotional for both the parent and the child. Therefore, we offer you this information to help the transition process.
We invite families to come for orientation the week before they start: stay in the centre with your child, meet the Educators and make yourself familiar with the routines prior to your child’s first day. This assists you and your children to feel more at ease and comfortable with the new environment.
