KAZ Possums Child Care Centre
About the Business
Welcome to KAZ Possums Child Care Centre, located at 13 Truman Street in Hurstville, Australia. As an establishment and point of interest, we are dedicated to providing the best learning environment for your child.
We understand that choosing a child care center is a significant decision, and we are honored to play a vital role in your child's learning and development. At KAZ Possums Child Care Centre, our goal is to create an extended family atmosphere that offers your child the security, warmth, and love necessary for their growth.
Our team of professional and dedicated educators has designed a program that encourages children to learn through exploration and stimulating experiences. We strive to create an environment that fosters enjoyable and creative learning, supporting your child's growth in all areas.
We are proud to announce that KAZ Possums Child Care Centre has been rated as Meeting National Quality Standard by The Australian Children's Education and Care Quality Authority, with our program exceeding expectations.
With a capacity of 46 places, our Child Care Centre features two rooms catering to children aged 2 to 6 years, including a pre-school room. We operate five days a week, 49 weeks a year, from 8am to 5.30pm.
In addition to KAZ Possums Child Care Centre, we also operate other Child Care Centres across New South Wales. Our Dolans Bay location houses the KAZ Early Learning Centre, while in the Southern Highlands, we have Kamalei, which runs separate Preschool and Early Years child care centers.
At KAZ Possums, we offer a unique gross motor skills program called KAZAROO. This program aims to build confidence, endurance, hand-eye coordination, concentration, and body awareness through activities such as running, jumping, hopping, and more.
Our curriculum goes beyond traditional learning by exploring ways to connect children with the land. We teach them about gardens, animals, growing their own food, responsible use of water and energy, waste minimization, recycling, and environmental health. Children also have the opportunity to care for chickens from eggs to adulthood in our onsite coop.
Music plays a significant role in our program as well. Children are introduced to various instruments and learn to play basic tunes while singing along.
We believe in fostering independence and life skills, which is why we introduce children to cooking through our cooking program. They have the chance to cook their own food using basic recipes.
In an increasingly digital world, we understand the importance of computer literacy. Our computer program aims to teach children about the purpose and use of a computer mouse, the difference between hardware, and how to care for a computer.
Dance is another avenue for self-expression and physical activity. We expose children to various dance styles, and they even have the opportunity to showcase their skills for parents.
Cultural diversity is celebrated at KAZ Possums Child Care Centre. Through our program, children explore the language and culture of countries such as Greece, China, New Zealand, and Australia, with a special emphasis on our Aboriginal heritage.
We also offer a range of activities that stimulate children's thinking, communication, investigation, exploration, and problem-solving skills.
If you're looking for a preschool education that prioritizes your child's growth and development, KAZ Possums Child Care Centre is the perfect place for you. Our Jumbo ruler allows you to see not only how much your child has developed in our care but also how much they've grown.
We would like to acknowledge the Bidjigal people of the Eora Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land, water, and sky in the Georges River area. We recognize and value the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as an integral part of our community. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, as well as to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who live, work, and gather on these lands.
At KAZ Possums Child Care Centre, we are committed to providing the best learning environment for your child, ensuring their growth, development, and happiness.

Reviews
"This is such a beautiful, caring centre - we highly recommend. The staff are amazing incredible, our daughter is thriving at Kaz Possums!"
"I have recently moved my daughter to Kaz Possums from another centre. I have found that the staff here are simply wonderful. They are genuinely caring, educated and focus strongly on the children’s education and needs. They generally are very happy staff who want to be here. My daughter has thrived here and looks forward to “school” every time. Her language has significantly improved and her speech had now developed soo much more. They also have great extra carricular activities like soccer and extrusions, Mother’s Day , grandparents day, Father’s Day etc. they are also very integrated into the community here. I would highly recommend this centre."
"My son has been attending Kaz Possums for over 1.5 years now and my daughter has just started attending. We are so impressed with the level of professionalism, education standards and warmth from staff and educators. Everyone goes above and beyond. This preschool has incursions and excursions (usually no cost to parent). My son has started playing soccer through incursions and his ball skills have improved dramatically. They have a great routine and schedule for the kids. You can tell that management and staff genuinely care for the child's wellbeing and development. Would highly recommend anyone considering this preschool."
"My son has being going to KAZ Possums for almost a year and we are so happy with there. The educators are excellent, they provide such a variety of well considered activities and my son has learned so much while always being entertained and active. They also feel like family and knowing my son is happy, cared for and comfortable when I leave him in their care is priceless. There have been lots of amazing opportunities such as incursions, excursions and celebrations involving families. All staff make you feel welcome and communication is excellent. We would recommend Possums to anyone looking and we are sad to be leaving for school next year."
"I have been so happy with Kaz Possums. My oldest son has attended there for three years and now my second son has started. It feels like the extended family. The owners and management really have a passion for child development and education. They personally involve themselves in the day to day running of the centre and special events. Communication is second to none. The educators are experienced, kind, caring, talented, and just downright amazing. The facility is always clean and well maintained. The children have been offered so many extra opportunities like excursions and incursions and the school readiness program has been fabulous. I really could not be happier and would not hesitate in recommending Kaz Possums to any other family"
