Kids Academy Moorabbin

We know your toddler is ready to socialise, make friends and to be introduced to new challenges in a safe and nurturing environment. Our qualified childcare educators are trained and accredited in the Lifelong Learning Curriculum by Affinity Education Group. The Lifelong Learning Early Experiences Curriculum emphasises the development of toddlers’ language and social development using the Abecedarian approach within our intentional learning zones focused on play schemas that support toddlers' physical and intellectual development. 

What Toddlers Learn: Our toddler curriculum is focused on supporting language development and early social skills. These foundational skills allow the active toddler to explore the expanding social world around them and build self-confidence and self-identity. Our Abecedarian language program and specially designed learning games support both social and language development.    

Where Toddlers Learn: Our early experiences rooms are designed with the active toddler in mind with spaces for toddlers to explore their environment with lots of opportunity for hands on learning, playing, resting and eating with friends. Look beyond the toys and you’ll see the careful planning of our rooms which provide age-appropriate learning zones. 

How Toddlers Learn: Toddlers learn best through play, supported by gentle and fun interactions with their educators and other children. Toddlers learn best through relationships; our educators focus on building trusting relationships with each toddler. Our focus on a positive and warm relationship supports toddlers to fully enjoy the Early Experience program, build confidence and explore those early friendships with others. 

Our preschool rooms have been designed to facilitate the learning required for your child to be a resilient and confident learner to prepare them for the transition to Primary School. We know that all children are capable of realising their full potential if they are in the right environment, which is why we use project-based learning, appropriate technology and enrichment programs to spark the best experiences. The Lifelong Learning School Readiness Curriculum emphasises enquiry-based projects and foundation academic skills to support children’s development. 
 
What Children Learn: Our two-year School Readiness Program for children aged 3-5 focuses on foundation learning in numeracy and math, literacy and writing and STEM, as well as dramatic play, art, and physical activity. Our Curriculum also integrates technology in an age-appropriate way to support foundational learning and researching for our enquiry-based projects program, where children explore topics in detail over time. The School Readiness Program also includes some unique programs for children, primarily written just for our Affinity Education enrolled children, including our Big Thinkers STEM program, Aussie Wildlife Champions and in selected centres, our Grandfriends intergenerational program and Positive Living Skills mental health and wellbeing program.   
 
Where Children Learn: Our preschool/kindergarten classrooms and learning environments have been designed to support our curriculum programs and are structured to support children to explore the many possibilities that re available to them throughout the day. With both indoor and outdoor learning taking place, children can feel refreshed and comfortable as they develop their understanding of the world around them – and of their own potential. Our preschool/kindergarten rooms include Lifelong Learning Curriculum zones to encourage children to try new things every day. Interactive Learning hub, Numeracy & Math, Construction zone, Literacy & Writing, Art Studio, Dramatic play, Book corner and STEM. 

How Children Learn: Children learn best when they believe that they can. Our teachers and educators focus on supporting children to explore the curriculum confidently and make daily choices to build independence. Through a rich combination of play-based learning and intentional teaching, our programs allow children to explore their interests and ideas, develop those all-important 21st-century thinking skills, and contribute to learning and discovery within their classroom of friends. 

Kids Academy is a high-quality provider of childcare where every child experiences the joy of learning in a caring community. 

We’re experts at knowing how children develop and grow, and we nurture them through these vital and precious early stages of their lives. Through these important early year's children change so quickly - they are constantly absorbing new information and expanding their skill set. We gently encourage and guide them to explore their own potential. 

Our Lifelong Learning Curriculum draws on current research, evidence informed practices and specific programs in each age groups such as The Circle of Security in our babies’ rooms, Abecedarian Language Priority for our Toddlers and Inquiry Based Learning Projects for older children.
