Diploma Qualified Educator

At Kira, we don’t just provide childcare—we create a vibrant, nurturing environment where childhood is celebrated, and each child’s journey is valued. Located in the heart of Paddington, just steps from Allianz Stadium and off Moore Park Road, our centre is a true gem, offering a rare blend of inner-city convenience and expansive outdoor spaces. Plus, with free on-site parking for staff and easy access to the light rail, getting to work is a breeze.

Our curriculum is dynamic and evolves from the meaningful relationships between children, educators, and families. Through these connections, we develop a deep understanding of each child’s individual needs, experiences, and interests. This insight guides us in designing learning experiences and environments where children feel empowered to explore, share ideas, and absorb new knowledge.

One of the standout features of Kira is our expansive, natural outdoor spaces. In the heart of the city, we offer children a unique oasis filled with real grass, trees, and the opportunity for exploration and physical activity. We believe in bringing the indoors outdoors, and we encourage children to engage in creative play and discovery in a space that fosters both learning and fun.
