Childcare Curriculum
For Your Child’s Education
Learning Experience
Educational Philosophy
The Kids Club Philosophy is that at the heart of everything we do, we place the child first.
Our experienced Educators are the cornerstone of our business, and they underpin the philosophy and core values of Kids Club. Studies in conjunction with Harvard University have shown that 90% of a child’s physical brain development happens in the first 5 years of their life. Similar research also shows how these early years greatly effect children’s physical, emotional and intellectual development. When reinforced by a positive learning environment, with highly skilled Educators, this can lead to a significant increase in your child’s learning experience.
A Foundation for Lifelong Learning
Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive in an environment that inspires confidence, curiosity and a genuine love of learning. Our seven Educational Pillars form the foundation of the Kids Club approach, bringing together the principles of the National Quality Standard into a practical framework that guides every experience, every interaction and every opportunity to learn.
Child-Led Learning & Education
Every child learns differently, which is why our educational program is shaped by each child’s interests, strengths and stage of development. Through play, exploration and intentional teaching, our Educators create meaningful learning experiences that build confidence, encourage curiosity and develop the skills children need for school and beyond.

Effective Leadership, Continuous Improvement

Belonging
Every child deserves to feel safe, valued and accepted. At Kids Club, we create a welcoming environment where children build meaningful relationships with their Educators, peers and families, fostering a strong sense of belonging, confidence and connection to the world around them.
Being
Every child deserves the time and freedom to play, explore and enjoy the wonder of childhood. Through meaningful experiences and child-led learning, we encourage children to embrace the present, build confidence and discover the joy of learning every day.
Becoming
Every experience in early childhood helps shape who a child becomes. Through play, exploration and meaningful learning opportunities, we nurture confidence, resilience and independence, empowering children to develop the skills they need for school, life and beyond.
Individual Learning Journeys
Every child follows their own unique learning journey. Our Educators thoughtfully plan experiences around each child’s interests, strengths and stage of development, creating meaningful opportunities to build confidence, curiosity and the skills they need for school and beyond.
Working together, our Educators, Educational Leaders and Centre Directors regularly observe, reflect and adapt each child’s learning program, ensuring every experience remains engaging, purposeful and responsive as children grow.
Our School Readiness Program provides a clear pathway for children to develop the confidence, independence and foundational skills they need for a successful transition to school and beyond.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I stay updated on my child's day?
We know how important it is to feel connected to your child’s early learning journey. Through the OWNA app, families can access real-time updates, photos and important information throughout the day, wherever they are.
Updates include meals, sleep, bottles, nappy changes, learning experiences, daily room updates and special moments, giving you a window into your child’s day and the opportunity to celebrate their learning and development together.
Is there visible learning in the environment and on display?
Absolutely. Children’s learning is celebrated throughout our centres through displays of their artwork, projects, photos and learning documentation. These displays showcase each child’s interests, achievements and progress, making their learning journey visible while creating a welcoming environment that reflects their ideas, creativity and growth.
What will my child's routine be in their room?
Each room at Kids Club follows a flexible daily routine that provides children with a balance of learning, play, rest and care throughout the day. Our routines are thoughtfully designed to suit each age group while supporting children’s development, wellbeing and individual needs.
For our youngest children, we work closely with families to follow home routines for feeding, sleeping and care wherever possible, helping to create a smooth and comforting transition between home and the centre.
How do the centres look after my child's nutrition?
Nutritious food plays an important role in every child’s growth, development and wellbeing. That’s why all meals at Kids Club are freshly prepared by our in-house Chefs using quality ingredients and are designed to meet the Australian Dietary Guidelines for children.
Our rotating seasonal menu includes breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a late snack, catering for individual dietary requirements, allergies and cultural preferences. Every meal is designed to nourish growing bodies while encouraging healthy eating habits that can last a lifetime.
Do you offer extracurricular activities?
Yes. Each Kids Club centre offers a range of extracurricular experiences designed to enrich children’s learning and complement our educational program. Activities vary between centres and may change throughout the year, allowing us to tailor experiences to each community, children’s interests and available providers.
All extracurricular activities are included as part of your child’s daily experience, with no additional cost to families.
Is the centre secured with quality safety and security measures?
Yes. The safety and wellbeing of every child is our highest priority. Our centres are equipped with a range of security measures, including secure access systems, visitor sign-in procedures and comprehensive safety policies designed to help provide a safe and secure environment for children, families and our team.
Each Kids Club centre also follows strict supervision practices and emergency procedures, giving families confidence that their child is cared for in a safe, supportive and well-managed environment.
What are the staffing arrangements at Kids Club Childcare, including Educator qualifications, ratios, and ongoing professional development?
Our Educators are at the heart of everything we do. Every Kids Club centre is staffed by qualified and experienced early childhood professionals who are passionate about supporting children’s learning, development and wellbeing.
Staffing ratios are maintained in accordance with the National Quality Framework and the regulatory requirements for each state or territory, ensuring children receive the supervision, support and care they need throughout the day.
To provide the highest standard of education and care, our Educators participate in ongoing professional development, mentoring and training, continually strengthening their knowledge, skills and early childhood practice.
How does Kids Club partner with families and the wider community?
We value strong partnerships with families and believe open communication is essential to every child’s success. Families are encouraged to be actively involved in their child’s learning through regular updates, conversations with Educators and opportunities to provide feedback.
Where appropriate, we also work collaboratively with allied health professionals, support services and community organisations to help ensure children receive the support they need while enriching their learning experiences.
