About this service

Our program and approach

When children play and explore, their imagination and curiosity are sparked – they enjoy learning, and are inspired to continue learning more.

Our play-based program intentionally provides a wide range of engaging opportunities and activities based on the Early Years Learning Framework.

We celebrate multiculturalism by incorporating cultural experiences and children’s first languages into our program. This fosters understanding, tolerance and kindness, helping children to appreciate their local and wider community and learn about different cultures.

My son has been going to KU Concord child care since last April.The teachers are amazing, informative and loving. Their communication is fabulous and are transparent about everything .They are always there to help with any questions you may have. My son is super excited to go to "school" because he wants to see his teachers and friends. I am pleased with their log in procedures and security. They really work hard to keep kids occupied.

Connie is really enjoying her time at KU Concord.she started going there when she was only nine months old.In the beginning she would cry and suke when we drop her off as all babies do.A week later she would only grimace and 2 week later, she’s actually very happy when we drop her off in the morning!Thats a great sign that she really enjoys her time there and are been well looked after by the educators.All my interactions from Kieran the principal to all the staff have been nothing short of very pleasant.I recommend KU Concord to all my friends and their kids would be attending already if not for the long waitlist!keep up the great work team!

As a new Dad, I was obviously a little hesitant on sending my baby girl to daycare. My daughter was just 4 months old when we enrolled her so we wanted to be confident with her carers. My wife and I looked around and had walk throughs at several in our area and KU stood out to us for many reasons. Firstly there was an immediate sense of calm when we walked through the different age rooms. All the kids were playing and interacting with each other happily but not over the top. I met with the educators from the room my little girl would be in and they were sweet, gentle and we observed for over an hour and knew this was the place for our girl. Their onsite chef, loves to create fun healthy food for the kids and is passionate about her work. There is ample parking so we don't need to rush when dropping off or picking up and everyone in the team loves to help the kids learn, and explore on a daily basis. I highly recommend KU concord and feel so comfortable and confident with my precious girl growing and learning there.

My daughter has been attending KU Concord for almost 3 months now. Within one week the educators were able to pick up on my daughter’s personality and interests. It’s always nice to hear about her play stories at the end of day care. The centre looks after children in detail, lots of attention to each child and lots of love. It seems the they always know when to offer attention to details for what i need to know about my child.
