ChildCare Educator

Since 1895, KU has been and proudly remains a not for profit and for purpose organisation

KU Children's Services (KU) is 130 years young and one of the most respected early education providers in Australia. 100% of KU services meet or exceed the National Quality Standards.

KU is our place, where we all belong. A safe, calm community of children, parents and educators. We are very proud to welcome the large and diverse KU family of children, families and staff who experience KU with us each day. Side by side, we explore the world through many cultures and perspectives. KU children learn it's OK to be different, and we can all be different, together.

The Preschool

KU Kingfisher in Wagga Wagga is a service where childhood is celebrated. When they play and explore, children's imagination and curiosity is sparked - they enjoy learning, and are inspired to continue learning more.

Our playground is designed to allow children to explore nature and discover the natural environment. We want children to be able to dig in the sand, climb trees, discover and learn about insects and enjoy connecting with nature. The many activities we offer enable children to immerse themselves in the natural elements of their surroundings and feel inspired to create, imagine and play. We have natural shade due to our many trees in our large outdoor environment.
