Kids Own Early Childhood Learning Centre is a family owned and operated centre nestled among the beautiful lush trees of Croydon, with strong ties to the community and a dedicated, long standing team of educators. Each day our centre is filled with laughter, discovery and connection as children are nurtured to grow with confidence, curiosity and joy. We pride ourselves in creating a place that feels like home-a space where every child is known, valued and celebrated for who they are. With families at the heart of all we do, our commitment is to provide a warm, inspiring and supportive environment where lifelong learning begins and treasured memories are made.
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.
We believe in building children’s sense of autonomy and educating them to be confident and capable individuals, able to construct their own learning through our play-based program.








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-week 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 lunchboxes. A list of recommended snacks for the afternoon tea lunchbox will be provided to all families at enrolment. Reminders will also be uploaded to our Online platform. We suggest you pack healthy food options and limit unhealthy food options. Healthy snack options may include fruit, sandwiches, vegetable sticks, and crackers. Our healthy and nutritional menu considers the cultures and dietary requirements of each child. Our qualified chef creates freshly cooked, healthy, nutritious meals with the best produce, receiving rave reviews from both children and families.
We have a safe and friendly atmosphere where children are welcomed as individuals and feel a sense of belonging, with customised daily routines to suit each child.
We partner with you to provide a safe, quality, family-centred learning environment where every child is respected and nurtured. We continually develop our skills and explore new ways to enrich your child’s early learning experience.
Indoor and outdoor play-based experiences are an integral part of our program. Educators plan a diverse range of experiences to create opportunities for your child in both structured and spontaneous play.
Our programs are inspired by the wisdom and teachings of early childhood theorists and the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), and aim to develop children’s emotional, social, and cognitive intelligence.
The Kindergarten curriculum continues to emphasise play-based learning; however, it offers additional intentional learning times where the focus is on literacy and numeracy, socialisation, self-regulation, and independence.
“The educators at Kids Own will always remember that you have entrusted them with taking care of and educating your child and are committed to providing a safe and friendly environment where the children can thrive in all aspects of life.”
