About our Centre
At Kids First, the early years are about building confidence, curiosity and important social skills that help children thrive.
Our kindergarten is a warm and welcoming place where children feel safe, supported and ready to explore. Through play-based learning, they build confidence, develop social skills, make friends and discover new interests — all while laying the foundations they need for a positive start to school.
Children are eligible to start kindergarten if they turn 3 or 4 by 30 April in the year they begin.
