As we reflect on 2025, our hearts are full. From welcoming Haven into the Kids Club family to the exciting transformation of Kids Club Springwood, we’re grateful for our teams, our families and the children who make every day so meaningful. Here’s to a beautiful year, and an even brighter 2026.
Looking Back on 2025
Corie and Sally Stone
Founders – Kids Club Early Childhood Learning Centres
Corie and Sally Stone are the passionate founders of Kids Club Early Childhood Learning Centres, dedicated to providing exceptional education and care for children.
As we look back on 2025, our hearts are full.
This year has been one of meaningful growth, big change and the quiet, everyday moments that remind us why early childhood education matters so much. Through it all, one thing has remained constant: children have stayed at the centre of everything we do.
One of the most meaningful milestones of 2025 has been the transition of Haven into the Kids Club brand.
We are proud to welcome Haven Cecil Hills, Haven Malabar and Haven Tweed Heads under the Kids Club name. While the branding has changed, the foundations have not. These centres remain under the same trusted owners, with the same dedicated teams, values and commitment to nurturing, play-based learning, strong relationships and environments where children feel safe, seen and celebrated.
To our Haven families and teams, thank you for your support throughout this transition. We are so excited for what lies ahead and for the journey we will continue as Kids Club.
This year also marked an exciting transformation as Little Munchkins transitioned to Kids Club Springwood following extensive renovations.
We are incredibly proud of the space that has been created and look forward to opening it to a younger audience very shortly. Most of all, we want to acknowledge the local community, your support, patience, love and encouragement throughout this journey has meant the world to us. It has been a genuine pleasure to work alongside you.
2025 also marked a very special milestone for our Kids Club Clarence Street community, 10 years of learning, care and connection.
Over the past decade, Kids Club Clarence Street has been a place where children have taken their first steps into learning, formed lifelong friendships and been supported by passionate Educators who truly care. It has grown alongside the families and community it serves, shaped by strong relationships, shared values and a deep commitment to quality early childhood education.
To the Educators, families and children, past and present, who have been part of this journey, thank you. Your trust, dedication and support have helped create a centre with a rich history and a heart that continues to grow. We are incredibly proud of what Kids Club Clarence Street represents and excited for the years still to come.
Another special highlight of 2025 was our Family Fun Day at Paddington.
It was a beautiful opportunity to come together with families and the local community, sharing laughter, connection and a whole lot of fun. Days like this remind us that Kids Club is so much more than a childcare centre; it is a community where families feel welcomed, children feel a sense of belonging and relationships are at the heart of everything we do.
We would also like to acknowledge the community connections we continue to uphold, particularly our ongoing relationship with the QLD Rural Fire Service (RFS). We are proud to stand alongside the RFS and the incredible work they do to keep families safe and we are grateful for the role they play in strengthening our communities.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day so memorable.
As we move towards 2026, we are excited to share that new centres will be opening next year.
While we can’t share all the details just yet, we look forward to announcing more very soon. What we can say is this: we remain committed to thoughtful growth, expanding in a way that stays true to our values, our philosophy and the high standards families expect from Kids Club.
To our Area Managers, Lauren and Kristy, thank you.
Your constant presence in our centres, your guidance through change and your steady commitment to ensuring we stay aligned with our values and philosophy does not go unnoticed. You help our teams feel supported and you help our centres continue to grow stronger.
We would also like to acknowledge Melanie and Parmoon in their Support Roles. Your dedication behind the scenes has been instrumental in supporting our centres throughout the year. Through your care, organisation and unwavering commitment, you help ensure our teams feel supported and our operations run smoothly every day.
To our Centre Directors, thank you for your leadership and heart. Your passion, professionalism and advocacy for children’s rights, safety, belonging and connection has been deeply appreciated. You lead with purpose and it shows in every room, every routine and every relationship.
And to our Educators, thank you.
You are the heart and soul of Kids Club. You bring warmth, patience and professionalism into every day, creating the safe, nurturing environments where children can learn, grow and truly thrive. The trust families place in us is built moment by moment through the relationships you form, the care you show and the pride you take in your work. We are so grateful for everything you do.
To our Support Team, thank you for being the engine behind the scenes. Your care, responsiveness and commitment help our centres run smoothly and ensure families feel supported throughout their enrolment journey.
To our families, thank you for choosing Kids Club and for trusting us with what matters most.
We know that, particularly in the current climate, choosing care can feel like a big decision. As parents ourselves, we understand how important it is to find a place where you feel genuinely comfortable, confident that your child is safe, nurtured and respected.
Thank you for partnering with us, for asking questions, for sharing feedback and for allowing us to be part of your child’s early years.
To the children heading off to primary school next year, we are so proud of you.
Whether your journey with us was brief or spanned many years, we hope the experiences you’ve had here have helped build your confidence, nurtured your love of learning and supported you in becoming kind, capable and curious learners.
As you take this next step, know that you leave with strong foundations and a community that will always remember you. You will always have a special place in our hearts and we hope you come back to visit and say hello.
As we look ahead, we are excited to meet new families and welcome returning ones.
In 2026, we will continue striving to ensure every child feels they belong at Kids Club, creating safe, trusting environments where children can thrive, learn and grow.
From our family to yours, we wish you a beautiful holiday season filled with rest, connection and joy.
