Kooinda Workbase Child Care Centre is a nurturing and educational environment where childhood is celebrated. The name ‘Kooinda’ reflects the center’s focus on providing a happy, safe, and accepting space for children and families. Emphasizing play-based learning, the center takes a holistic approach to teaching, recognizing various aspects of learning experiences and their interconnectedness. Educators at Kooinda value and build on children’s interests, strengths, and skills to ensure their engagement and motivation in learning.
At Kooinda, children have the opportunity to explore and share their knowledge through a range of experiences such as gardening, arts and crafts, music, physical play, and early literacy and numeracy activities. The center’s focus on exploring the natural environment is integrated into the program through bush walks, investigative projects, and activities that promote sustainability. By fostering genuine relationships and providing consistent emotional support, Kooinda aims to help children develop essential skills for positive interactions with others.
With a team of qualified and experienced early childhood educators, Kooinda prides itself on offering a high-quality program that prioritizes positive interactions between staff and children. The center’s playground is designed to maximize natural elements and encourage children to play, explore, and learn in a homelike environment. Through a not-for-profit approach, Kooinda remains committed to providing quality education and care, supported by initiatives such as Child Care Subsidy and NSW Start Strong Fee Relief to assist families with childcare costs.
