Philosophy

The Kids Cottage believes in providing an inclusive, age appropriate, creative, active and fun program with a variety of choices, in a safe, caring and sustainable environment.

​

We believe in respecting individuality whilst challenging the children’s growth cognitively, socially, emotionally and physically and encouraging the development of essential life skills.

​

We maintain that children have the right to feel safe and supported in their environment and support this through developing secure, respectful and reciprocal relationships between educators and children.  

​

We strive to provide the highest quality standards of out of school hours care responding to the community’s needs and contributing to the continuing education and well being of children in our care.

​

We have full availability for both Before and After school care for 2025 so please email us to enroll your children today!
