“I have been employed with Kindikids Early Learning Centres for 5 incredible years and I am proud and thankful to be a part of a wonderful and cohesive team where my work that I am so passionate about is valued and appreciated. Everyday, I get to work with amazing and dedicated Educators who teach me so much about the power of teamwork and collaboration and I have been given opportunities to grow in a caring and supportive environment which hones my strength and determination to succeed as an Early Childhood Teacher. I love being able to watch the children I work with grow and thrive and I feel so fortunate that I get to go home every day knowing that I have made a difference to the life of a child. I love that I get to experience the world through their lens and although life is indeed full of stresses, just taking a quiet moment to watch their little minds at work and seeing their progress puts everything in perspective. Knowing that I have the opportunity to help children thrive in all aspects of their development, is the most rewarding part of being a teacher.”

“How exciting that Kindikids is celebrating 25 years! I’m so grateful to have been a part of the Kindikids family for so many years and in many different ways. A fond memory I have as a child who attended Kindikids is the kind nature of all the educators. I love how I can make an impact on the children today just like how the educators made an impact on me back when I was a child and hopefully they will remember me like how I still remember the names of my educators.”

“Kindikids have been part of our lives for the last 15 years. We currently have our fourth child at Centre 2 and can attest to the quality of the centre, its staff, and the results they achieve. I can attest to not only the love and care provided by the staff, but also the professionalism through all interactions. Tina has been amazing as Centre Manager, ensuring a wonderful experience for both children and parents. The consistency and quality can be seen through the low turnover of staff, allowing our children to form bonds with the teachers and develop in a safe, caring environment. The preparation our children have received prior to moving to school has been extraordinary, allowing our children to seamlessly move to kindergarten with everything they need to excel at the next stage of their development. I highly recommend the service to anyone looking to give their children the best first steps possible.”

“I was enrolled to Kindikids Early Learning Centre from 2004-2005. I enjoyed exploring the environment and making new friends with the children in my classes. At KindiKids I was able to express myself through participating in arts and craft activities and liked when John took me outside to the gardens where he showed me his plants and all the flowers. Fast forward 16 years, I commenced working at Kindikids in 2021, starting as a trainee working towards my Certificate 3. I am now a full-time qualified educator, based in the Preschool Room. I have created great friendships with staff and close relationships with families. I enjoy coming into work every day and helping the children’s development and watching them grow.”

“My daughter currently attends Kindikids centre 2 and we could not be happier, The staff are so friendly and welcoming always available to greet my daughter on arrival and talk to me on departure about her day. The centre itself is clean and welcoming with designated learning areas and play spaces allowing the children to feel comfortable. The centre app is so handy I’m able to see if my daughter has eaten and slept and what experiences she engaged in throughout the day on my phone so on the drive home I can talk to her about her day and what she enjoyed. Overall an excellent and could not recommend it enough 😃”

“I attended Kindikids from the age of 2 in 2003-2005 and my experience was nothing short of special! I’ve had many ‘deja vu’ moments while working here now as an adult! Kindikids really helped shape my life into what it is today and continues to do so! When looking back at all my photos and developmental profiles from Kindikids I’m always described as cheerful and happy which I feel is a real testament to the love and care I received while in attendance at the centre! I love working at Kindikids because I feel that I am paying it forward for my experience growing up here and helping my community in the most hands-on way possible is the most rewarding experience to me!”

“My daughter attended Kindikids Ryde for 3 years and we could not have been happier during our time at the centre. During that time, we had an incredible experience from start to end. The Educators are friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and invested in the children as are the management team. My daughter is now thriving in Kindergarten, and I largely put that down to the educational and loving environment that she experienced at Kindikids.”

“I attended Kindikids, Centre 3 in 2007. Through my time at Kindikids as a child, the memories that stuck most with me was the chance to watch chicks hatch, marble painting and the friends I met from Kindikids that I still know to this day. Most of all, I remembered my teacher Anna who I met again after 15 years at a Centre 1. To still have my Preschool teacher remember me and my sister from so long ago felt incredibly special. I decided to return back to Kindikids for my career path as I remembered the staff at Kindikids for being warm and welcoming people, not only just towards me when I was a child, but also to my family. The staff at the Edensor Park team have all influenced me in their own and special way and I am eternally grateful. I look forward to continuing working with everyone at Kindikids!

“My family and I have been at KindiKids for as long as I can remember. I had my younger brothers and cousins attended the centre back when it was only 3 years old, to now having my own 3 children attend. It even amazes me to see that after all those years a lot of familiar faces are still around. I have watched my children develop amazing social skills and confidence. The educators have created a fun, engaging and interactive environment for the kids! I appreciate the regular updates we get to see through the KindiView app, and my kids even love to sit down and go through the photos of them and their friends and talk about how their day was. We love & thank every team member at Kindikids Early Learning!”

“Attending KindiKids as a child, I remember feeling so comfortable and supported by all of my educators whom I adored and who impacted my decision to look into this as a profession once I left school. My best friend at Kindikids is still someone that I am very close with today! Fast forwarding to becoming an educator at KindiKids, I love being able to support the children and give them a sense of comfort the same way that my educators once did for me, it is extremely rewarding watching each child grow throughout their years attending and forming close bonds with the children. I absolutely love the work environment as I have formed many close friendships and relationships with my colleagues along with feeling a huge amount of support from the management team. I feel extremely lucky to be a part of such an amazing company!
