Hi, I’m Katrina Baines, welcome to Kids Academy Glenmore Park. We are located in the heart of Glenmore Park, just a short drive from the shopping centre on Woodlands Drive.

We would love you to come and visit the friendly staff, look at our beautiful playrooms and introduce your children to a day in the life of Kids Academy.

Our team of early educators and carers are trained in the Early Years Learning Framework  and are leading the way in the provision of programs reflecting each of the areas of the EYLF in our local area. All of our rooms have their own  computer for you to see a powerpoint presentation of your child’s learning journey, as well as  what is happening in the day to day activities within the centre. Developmental  Portfolios are made throughout the year for you to take home as a reminder of your time with us.

 At Kids Academy Glenmore park we believe children are all unique and ensure that there are plenty of spontaneous play and experiences  to cater for each individual child’s needs and interests.

Your child, once started at our centre, is given a Kids Academy t-shirt  and hat so that all of our children feel like a special part of our family.

Visitors are welcome at anytime so please feel free to drop in and say hello, and we will be only too happy to show you around.

Upcoming Events at Kids Academy Glenmore Park

Kids Academy Glenmore Park Philosophy

Early childhood education is an active process. Children learn most readily through their interaction with the physical and social environments relevant to them at the time. Education emerges from the child's desire to satisfy their natural curiosity and urge to learn. This motivation to learn affects the quality and quantity of their learning.

We aim to provide a friendly and welcoming environment for children and parents, where children are encouraged and respected. Our program seeks to assist children to understand the environment that continually influences their lives. It will foster the growth of positive attitudes and values towards learning. Each child will be treated as an individual with the program focusing on the development of the whole child through a balanced curriculum in all developmental areas including:

• The Healthy, active & physical Child - fine and gross motor skills
• The Thinking, Investigating, Exploring, problem-solving Child - thinking, problem-solving and decision making skills
• The Social Child - responsibility, friendship, trust and affection for others
• The Communicating Child - communication and comprehension skills
• The Feeling Child - self-esteem, confidence and expression of feelings
• The Creative Child - expression of ideas, understanding and recognition of problems
• The Spiritual & Moral Child - respect for the natural environment and livings things, appreciation of beauty in its many manifestations and a sense of what if fair and just

The program will include a variety of activities within these areas to cater for each child's individual needs, strength, interests and experience. To accommodate indidual learning styles. a diverse range of teaching methods will be utilized. These include free discovery situations, child initiated and directed activities, as well as teacher initiated and assisted experiences. Each child will be listened to, guided, encouraged and challenged to promote learning and self worth. Each child will be treated as an equal participant of our society. Children will be encouraged to accept others individuality and respect differences in cultures, attitudes, abilities and gender.

The centre will offer a safe, caring, non-threatening learning environment that promotes the children's well-being through open communication with families and support of individual needs, cultures and an anti-bias curriculum which is challenging, stimulating and educationally balanced. parent and family involvement and communication is welcomed and valued. We aim to provide parents with and encourage involvement in a wide range of activities and experiences within the centre and wider community. a link between families, the centre and staff and community creates a balanced and informed curriculum. Families are encouraged to share their culture and traditions within the centre community where they will be respected as an important part of children's lives and learning. Staff are valuable resources, their input into the centre is valued and respected. Staff are encouraged to pursue their professional goasl and development and their culture and life experiences are valuable resources to be utilized to enrich our service.
