About Us

Where did it all begin?

Kids Academy unofficially began in 1993 when owner, Scott Hookey built his first purpose built childcare centre is Sydney's west at Glenmore Park, known as Hopscotch Child Care Centre. This was the first of a succession of centres which were to follow, with our most recent centre, Kids Academy Spring Hill in the Brisbane CBD opening in January 2008.

In 2003, Scott developed the brand Kids Academy and all services to follow under his banner were part of the Kids Academy Group.

Over the past 17 years, Scott and his team have developed 12 services, ten of which are currently managed and operated by the Kids Academy Group.

Scott and Kids Academy are well reknowned for their state of the art designs, and an exceptional quality of care and education, having cared for over 2000 children since his vision came to life. Despite his own expertise in the field, Scott credits the success of the centres on his staff, whom he feels are the key to the provision of quality services....

"We are so fortunate to have an exceptional team of early educators, all of whom are so passionate, and have a genuine respect and love for the precious gift we have been given in sharing the early years of so many children and their families."
