Since Kids Club Helidon’s recent expansion to the Toowoomba region, we have been warmly welcomed by the local community. Our centre is conveniently located just minutes away from the heart of town, in a serene and rural setting that provides the perfect environment for early childhood learning and development.
At Kids Club Helidon, our team of dedicated Educators is committed to fostering a strong sense of belonging for children and their families. By providing a high-quality program that is tailored to each child’s individual observations and interests, we are able to prepare them for school readiness while supporting their unique developmental needs. Our team understands that every child is different and will develop at their own pace, and we work hard to keep families connected and involved in their child’s growth and learning journey.
Our play-based programs are designed to build on the principles and practices of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), which is Australia’s national curriculum framework for early childhood education. Through hands-on exploration and learning, we aim to instil a love of lifelong learning in every child who attends our centre.
We are proud to offer a warm and welcoming environment where children can thrive and grow, and we believe that the best start to a child’s future begins at Kids Club Helidon.

Helidon 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
At this time of the morning, other children are still arriving, so the educators offer children different activities to engage in. The activities are purposefully selected to encourage our learning through play framework.
From 9:30am
We then begin to transition into lunch. After washing their hands your child will sit down where they choose and be served morning tea from the menu. If your child has dietary requirements they will be served an alternate meal.
From 10:30am
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. During this time we also hold group activities with the children.
From 12:00pm
From 12 pm we begin to transition to lunchtime. Once your child’s hands are washed they will choose a seat where a hot lunch will be served to them. 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
Planned afternoon learning experiences. During this time we will engage your child in activities that are slightly more structured and educator-led. For example, yoga classes, painting lessons, group play and group learning moments.
Kids Club Helidon 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
We encourage parents to take time to feed their children breakfast at home as it is a very important part of the child’s day. However, breakfast is provided at the centre. Breakfast is a variety of toasts, cereals and fresh milk.
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
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
Afternoon 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.
Featured Parent Testimonials
"Amazing. Like a second family. Facilities, teachers, programs, daily communications, food, events - all the best I’ve seen at a day care centre with a truly wonderful woman - Shelli, at the helm."
Michelle, Kids Club Clarence St Parent
"The chef makes amazing meals on site for the children that I’m tempted to dump my lunch, so I can eat with them! What I also love is their breastfeeding friendly premises. Because I work close enough, I am able to go in each day to give my daughter a breastfeed. "
Winnie, Kids Club Clarence Street Parent
" I can't recommend this place higher and I would be thrilled to talk to any mums or dads who are having any resistance or are going through a tough point. I toured 17 centres before I chose this one, and it was the best decision I've made in a while."
Aurora, Kids Club Clarence Street Parent

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.
