The buzz about town is that there is an exciting new preschool and early learning option opening in Maitland this July. Maitland Kids offers a stunning new facility consisting of five large classrooms, 2 exciting playgrounds and a commercial kitchen, where nutritionist approved meals are prepared.
Each classroom is full of engaging and unique resources to discover. Two expansive playgrounds have options for all-year-round play including undercover wet weather areas and a beautiful infants section for little ones to safely explore away from their more mobile peers.Service Director, Katie Hamilton commented,
"We are passionate about our team of qualified, knowledgeable and friendly early childhood teachers and educators who will carry out our vision for high quality education and care."
"Maitland Kids aims to make life a little easier for busy parents by providing nappies, wipes, meals, cot linen, secure online child portfolios, an inclusive play-based curriculum and a full preschool program."
Preschool students are exposed to a variety of school readiness skills such as pre-literacy, numeracy, independence, social and emotional maturity, to name a few. The service is proud to deliver a curriculum based on the nationally approved Early Years Learning Framework, holistically nurturing and developing each child as an individual as well as a member of a larger group in preparation for a positive primary school experience.
Programs for children of all ages foster all areas of development aiming to enhance the overall well being of each child.
Maitland Kids is family owned and operated with government subsidy for eligible families. Furthermore, the service offers flexible session times so families can make the most of their childcare subsidy allowances and choose session times that best suit their needs.
Open Monday to Friday, 6:30am- 6:00pm families are welcome to drop by with children for a tour.
