Our Mission

At Kids Own we are strongly dedicated to Early Childhood Education with a passion for hands on emergent learning, focusing on each child developing and learning in a way that is suitable to their personal learning style. As a passionate early childhood team, we pride ourselves on strong and positive interactions with the children, using the environment in innovative ways to ensure each child is able to reach their full potential.

Food Service

Kids Own supplies meals for all children including children who are attending sessional kindergarten. Kids Own Early Childhood Learning Centre employs a full time Cook who prepares all meals in our registered kitchen. We cater for your child’s nutritional needs through our 4 weekly rotating menu which is displayed on the Family Notice Board in the hallway of the centre. These are continually revised to suit the dietary requirements of the children within our environment. We ask that all kindergarten children bring a packed lunchbox for their afternoon tea snack each day that they attend (including any extra days). This is part of our school readiness skills of packing and opening our own lunch boxes. A list of recommended snacks for afternoon tea lunch box will be provided to all families at enrolment. Reminders will also be uploaded to our Story Park platform. We suggest you pack healthy food options and limit unhealthy food options.

The Kindergarten curriculum continues to emphasis play based learning, however offers additional intentional learning times where the focus is on literacy and numeracy, socialization, self-regulation and independence.
