WSI Kids Childcare Centre Nepean

Welcome to WSI Kids Childcare Centre Nepean, located at 44 O'Connell Street in Kingswood, Australia. We are an establishment that is recognized as a point of interest, offering a friendly and inclusive environment for children to learn and play.

At WSI Kids, we understand that children are natural learners, and we strive to provide them with programs that ignite their imaginations and encourage curiosity. Our approach to learning is based on the National Early Years Learning Framework, which focuses on the concepts of children 'being', 'belonging', and 'becoming'.

All of our Children's Centres are licensed to provide long day care for children aged from six weeks to under six years, in accordance with the Education and Care Services National Regulations. What sets us apart is our team of highly qualified early childhood educators, who range from Certificate III in Early Childhood Education to Master's Degrees in Early Childhood Education and Care. They are skilled in implementing innovative, child-centered, and child-led programs that take place in healthy, happy, and stimulating settings.

We believe that families play a vital role in a child's education experience, and we work closely with parents to adapt our programs to their child's interests and specific learning needs. By collaborating with families, we create a consistent and reliable environment where children can thrive.

In addition to providing quality care and education, we also support practical learning opportunities for the next generation of educators through student work placements. Rest assured, we always have fully qualified permanent staff on hand to demonstrate best practice.

Our educational program fosters self-esteem and is inclusive, tailored to each child's interests and development as an individual. We believe that children are individuals with unique instincts and interests that drive their own learning. Our qualified teachers are trained to listen, observe, and encourage children's curiosity through guided play that focuses on their individual interests.

Transition to school is an integral part of our program, and we prioritize the development of social and emotional skills to prepare your child for a successful transition.

Please note that places in our centres are limited, especially for children aged under three years, and certain priorities apply. Additionally, all families must provide an updated copy of their child's immunization history statement before enrollment.

From drop off to pick up, you can expect the best for your child. A typical day at WSI Kids involves hands-on learning activities based on the children's interests and development as individuals. We engage children in collaborative language, social, emotional, intellectual, physical, and creative activities in a fun-filled and nurturing environment.

We encourage parents to communicate with our educators about their child's feelings and interests so that we can incorporate them into their daily experiences. Your child can enjoy a range of activities such as water-sand play, block play, music and movement, language development, art and craft, science exploration, and dramatic play.

At WSI Kids, we focus on learning through play, and there are intentional and spontaneous teaching moments throughout the day, both in large and small group settings.

Our centres feature communal spaces that encourage children of multiple ages to play and explore together, fostering their social skills. These spaces are designed to allow children to freely and safely experience and encounter everything around them. They promote interaction, learning, and play, enabling children to socialize, express their ideas, and confidently explore the ideas of others.

We prioritize the use of non-toxic, high-quality toys that enhance each child's curiosity and creativity. Additionally, we incorporate recyclable materials to promote sustainability and educate children about the importance of environmental responsibility.

Rest assured, all TAFE NSW Children's Centres are licensed under the Australian Children's Education & Care Quality Authority Regulations. Each campus centre undergoes an individual licensing process, ensuring compliance with the highest standards of care.

While places in our centres are limited, especially for children under three years, there are alternative childcare services available. To explore these options, please visit the Australian Government Childcare Finder.

Lastly, TAFE NSW would like to acknowledge and pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional custodians of the land, rivers, and sea. We also extend our respects to the Elders, past, present, and emerging, of all nations.
