Our grandson Jeremiah has been at Kool Kids Pac Pines for 3yrs-he graduates this year. It has been a great experience for him and us especially this year-preparing him for Big School next year. Miss Sam in particular has gone above and beyond to support Jeremiah, who is autistic, helping him with his speech, 'talking' and overall school readiness. The teachers are great, Miss Ange has the biggest infectious smile. Also, the office staff-Alana and Erin are fantastic, friendly, organised and on top of everything...I really appreciate how helpful and efficient they are.

“Let the child be the scriptwriter, director and the actor in their own play” - Magda Gerber
Nursery Space: 6 weeks – 2 years
Learning starts from before birth, and our Educators have created a welcoming and nurturing nursery environment where each baby feels safe to explore and discover new things - through their senses, their communication and cues (body language, facial expression and sounds) and through experimentation. On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of play including sensory play, music time, story time and more. Every day provides a brand new, exciting adventure for our babies to support their development, learning and wellbeing.
Toddler Space: 2 - 3 years
Our teachers and educators encourage the children to learn through play to help enhance their sensory-motor development. This happens through carefully planned music, dance, games, role playing and reading experiences.
On any given day the Toddlers can be seen developing their numeracy by building a tower, sorting objects, pointing and identifying shapes and patterns and participating in counting songs and games.
Children in our toddler space are encouraged to participate in group play. Group play is important as it helps our toddlers develop important social skills such as, turn-taking, developing self-confidence and emotional self-regulation. Our skilled team helps children through talking, planning and role modelling.
Kindergarten Space: 3 – 6 years
Kindergarten is a unique time for learning with peers and developing skills for later learning including confidence and curiosity, important skills for starting school. Our play-based program has school readiness at its core, encouraging active engagement in learning and supporting a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity.
The oral language supports literacy learning and a child’s oral language ability is the best predictor for later success in learning to read and write. Hearing the sounds within a language is the first critical step for all literacy learning. Our team supports our Kindergarten children's literacy development by engaging in rich discussions, reading, storytelling, dramatic play and experimentation all of which introduce new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations.
Throughout the Kindergarten year, children use their language to share ideas, ask questions, express themselves, and connect with peers and adults in social settings.
Social-emotional skills, including the ability to self-regulate emotions, are supported through group learning experiences. Our team supports each child’s social and emotional development by labelling and talking about emotions and supporting appropriate responses as together, they engage in new and challenging situations. Our goal in the Kindergarten year is to prepare children and families for a smooth transition to primary school.
Morning
Allie is 11 months old and enjoys sensory play outside in the sandpit with her friends. She sits near her educator who helps teach her how to scoop the sand into the bucket. Allie is learning how to dig, carry, and move the sand. She is also exploring texture and learning what happens to the sand when she adds water!
Lunch
Allie has finished her lunch and is preparing to take a nap. Her educator changes her nappy, prepares a bottle and reads Allie a story before her afternoon sleep.
Afternoon
Allie and some of her nursery friends enjoy some story time and songs outside in the shaded garden. They read ‘Peepo’ which is Allie’s favourite book.
Morning
Peter is two and a half years old and loves to start his day at the centre outside on the climbing equipment. His friends join him, and together they pretend to be pirates on a ship looking for treasure. Through this exciting dramatic play, Peter is learning about himself and the world around him. Dramatic play is helping Peter identify his interests, abilities, likes and dislikes.
Lunch
Peter is watering the vegetables in the garden. By doing this, Peter is learning the importance of growing and caring for the veggies in the garden. Peter picks a tomato from the garden, which the Chef will use to help make Peter and his friend’s lunch - Spaghetti Bolognese!
Afternoon
Peter enjoys art, and today he is painting a beach scene from a recent family holiday. He adds the finishing touches and sets the painting aside to dry; so that he can take it home to share with his family.
While painting, Peter is learning how to express himself creatively and how to convey his ideas and emotions. Painting is also helping develop Peter’s hand eye coordination, finger, wrist and hand strength. Making marks on paper is important for self expression as well as later learning.
Morning
Kara is almost five years old and can’t wait for today’s carpentry experience - she loves building things! Carpentry experiences allow Kara and her friends to extend their learning through real-life experiences. While participating in carpentry, Kara is learning to problem solve, experiment and predict. She is also improving her hand eye coordination, manipulative skills and muscular strength.
Lunch
Before Kara sits down for lunch with her friends and educators, Kara takes part in the centre’s sports program. Kara loves sports. Sports helps Kara improve her flexibility and strength (perfect for growing bodies!). Sports also allows her to practice different skills in a fun and engaging way.
Afternoon
Kara is off to ‘big school’ next year and she can't wait to start! Kara and her friends will be visiting the local primary school next week. In preparation for the visit, the class is creating a list of questions to ask the Principal and school children.
Our centre chef prepares and cooks nutritious meals daily, catering to the unique dietary requirements of every child. We believe that by encouraging active participation (such as growing their own fruit and vegetables, preparing, and finally cooking!) children learn to appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating across a wide variety of food.
Our centre offers seasonal whole food-based menus – created to delight the fussiest eaters.

We absolutely love Kool Kids Pacific Pines! My little girl has been there since she was 7 months old (now over 2) and she just loves it. I’m a pretty picky mum and looked at five other centres before choosing this one, and I’m so glad I did! The rooms and play areas are always super clean, and I love that the babies and toddlers have their own space. The staff are honestly the best part they’re so warm, caring, and have been the same lovely faces the whole time we’ve been there. The director is amazing too and always quick to help. Couldn’t recommend this centre more!
Hi Deanna, Thank you for the glowing 5-star review! We're so grateful for your continued trust over the years with your daughter's early learning journey. The team takes great pride in the attention to detail and care they provide, as well as introducing creative ways of learning where our children are engaged and having fun! We will certainly pass on your kind words to our warm, amazing team and director for her invaluable leadership. Knowing that our efforts are appreciated truly inspires us to keep striving for excellence. Kind regards, The Kool Kids Team
