At Play, we'll gently guide children to think creatively, communicate openly, solve problems collaboratively and confidently navigate social situations.

The staff are just so loving and warm, from nursery right through to kinder. The kinder program helped my daughter immensely for her entry into primary school, and going through it again this year it just gets better. Highly recommend this centre for being clean, having great communication, incredible educators and lovely families. Special mention and thanks to educator Archana who made us very comfortable and supportive with all information on orientation days and initial weeks of my LO starting at the center. Lots of educational and fun activities planned for them (books, painting, music, arts & crafts, physical play), very accommodating of dietary/allergy needs, great communication with the parents.

They want to learn and explore, which is why we teach through play-based learning. It supports language, motor skills, memory, emotions and social relationships. Educators plan play-based learning experiences based on children’s interests and goals. I feel incredibly lucky to be leading such a dedicated and experienced team here at Community Kids Bayswater. This is a team that shows up every day with care, professionalism, and a commitment to quality early education. Over the years, I’ve learnt that children are incredibly capable, curious, and resilient.

These can be taken for any reason, including public holidays and when children are sick, without requiring families to provide documentation. On the day of the tour, you can observe practices and interactions within the centre environment.

Honestly just a great spot for little ones to play, learn, and feel safe. Community Kids Bayswater has been a wonderful daycare centre for our 3 year old. It is a small centre, where all of the educators know all of the children. The staff are caring and go above and beyond to make sure our child is happy and well looked after. We are so grateful for everything Community Kids has done for our daughter and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to other families.
