Walk in and feel the charm of a community impassioned with an ethos that comes from the heart!
You will be greeted into Co Kids with a smile, encouraging a reassuring confidence that you will be sharing in a warm, caring community. Kindness and warm relationships are at the core of our practice.
We welcome you into a bright, spacious environment where children wildly explore. Opportunities for children to just ‘be’, allowing time to forge creatively and imaginatively throughout their day are encouraged within the curious spaces and nooks of our community. Inquisitive minds have the time and freedom to invite questions, conversations and imaginative trails of inquiry.
Two main play-spaces alleviate the anxieties that multiple room transitions create. The safe spaces offer unique areas for siblings to share in their day; older children to help in the care of the younger children; younger children to watch and emulate actions from their charismatic older peers; and where all children and teachers share in a community of empathy and kindness.
We enjoy a unique extra indoor space which allows for outdoor actvities to happen even in the worst of weather.
At Co Kids we have incorporated elements of the Emmi Pikler and RIE theories into developing a teaching philosophy based on respectful education and care practices.
The vision of Co Kids is to provide quality early childhood education with an innovative, creative environment to support children’s learning and development. Our role is to support each child by providing rich experiences in a safe and exciting learning environment, to help create an active and confident child.
Families and the Co kids childcare team all play an integral part in providing these rich opportunities for children, and we believe this is the key to building a strong foundation for tomorrow’s community.
