Your child’s learning story begins at Kew Kids Early Learning.
The centre’s service manager Melinda Magdich’s philosophy is simple; she says the centre should be a place children look forward to attending each and every day.
“I like to create a home away from home for the children, and a place where my team feel supported, with a leader that mentors them too,” she said.
“We strive to create a place for families and children to enjoy.”
“It’s all about creating a homely environment here.”
The centre, a converted church, has a certain charm and character to it in the leafy suburb of Kew East.
But most importantly, Melinda says the educators are dedicated and committed in their care for the children who walk through the doors.
“We have the most amazing team and they are all here for the right reasons, to provide children with a high level of care, educational programs and respect.”
As for the children, they love coming to their home away from home.
“We do yoga every Monday and we have Happy Feet Fitness here on a Thursday,” she said.
“We’ve also got a centre rabbit named Cuddles and we have a couple of of chickens as well.
“The kids love coming in and seeing the animals. It’s quite amazing how the children are so connected to our centre pets, and how much they care and tend to their needs.”
“We also do a monthly incursions as well – they can be things like reptile shows, marine life shows
“Our goal is to make it a really fun place for them to learn in”
Melinda has worked in the early childhood sector for 14 years, and as a Service Manager for 7 years.
