Our Story

Founded on Love, Built on Trust

Kids Academy didn’t start in a boardroom or with a business plan. It started with Sharon’s sleepless nights, wondering if there was a better way to care for little ones whilst their parents worked. As a mum herself, she knew the gut-wrenching feeling of leaving your precious child with strangers, hoping they’d be safe, loved, and truly seen for who they are. What began as one woman’s determination to create the childcare centre she wished existed has grown into something beautifully unexpected, a network of four centres across Western Australia where children don’t just attend, they belong. Where families don’t just drop off, they become part of something bigger.

Along the way, we’ve learned that exceptional childcare is about creating spaces where children feel so secure, so valued, so genuinely loved that they race through our doors each morning with excitement and joy.

Our Beliefs

Where Little Hearts Find Their Voice

We believe childhood shouldn’t be rushed, packaged, or standardised. It should be savoured, celebrated, and honoured for the miraculous time it is. Our Lifelong Learning Curriculum isn’t just educational jargon, it’s our promise that we see your child not as they are today, but as who they’re becoming.

When your three-year-old spends twenty minutes studying an ant on the playground, we don’t redirect them to the planned activity. We kneel down beside them, share in their wonder, and help them discover that they’re actually conducting their first scientific observation. When your shy child finally finds their voice during our morning circle, we don’t just tick a developmental milestone, we celebrate a soul finding its courage.

Every mess they make is creativity in action. Every question they ask is a mind expanding. Every tear they shed is an opportunity for us to show them that big feelings are safe here, always.

Our Promise to Families

Choosing childcare is about finding people who will love your child fiercely, protect their innocence, nurture their curiosity, and help them believe they can do anything.

We promise to:

See your child’s unique magic and help them see it too
Keep you connected to every precious moment of their day
Be your partner in raising confident, kind, resilient humans
Create memories that you’ll both treasure long after they’ve started school
Hold your trust as the sacred thing it is

Our Values: The Kids Academy Way

Trust

“Your heart is safe with us”

From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll feel it, that exhale of relief when you know your child is truly cared for. We share the real moments, not just the Instagram-worthy ones, because authentic relationships are built on truth, not perfection.

Community

“It takes a village, and we’re your village”

We’re the extra grandparents for children whose families live interstate. We’re the listening ear when you’re worried about your toddler’s development. We’re the cheerleaders celebrating every small victory, because we know that raising children is the hardest and most important job in the world.

Innovation

“Tradition with a twist”

We honour the timeless wisdom of child development whilst embracing fresh ideas that help children thrive in today’s world. Whether it’s using technology to share your child’s day or incorporating mindfulness into our daily routine, we’re always asking: “How can we do this better for the children?”

Passion

“This isn’t just our job, it’s our calling”

You’ll never find an educator here who’s just going through the motions. Our team chooses to be here because they believe, deep in their bones, that nurturing young lives is sacred work. The sparkle in their eyes when they talk about your child? That’s real.

Excellence

“Good enough isn’t good enough”

We sweat the small stuff because to a child, there is no small stuff. The way we greet them in the morning sets the tone for their entire day. The care we take in preparing their lunch shows them they matter. Excellence isn’t about being perfect, it’s about caring deeply.

Care

“Love in action, every single day”

Care is noticing when a child’s drawing changes from dark scribbles to bright rainbows after a tough week at home. It’s the gentle hand on a small shoulder when homesickness hits, and the way we remember exactly how each child likes to be comforted. Care isn’t just what we do, it’s who we are.
