Work on upgrading our bicycle track has now been completed. Now the children can run, race and wheel around the "big yard" to their hearts content. A much loved feature of our outdoor spaces, we are hearing rave reviews from the children every day.

✨ Celebrating Random Acts of Kindness Day✨

At Kids on Campus, we believe kindness isn’t just a value, it’s a skill children learn through meaningful experiences every day. When children see and practise kindness, they develop empathy, build stronger relationships, and gain confidence in themselves and their place in the world. These are the foundations of lifelong social and emotional wellbeing, and we’re proud to nurture them from the very start.

This week, our rooms were absolutely buzzing with thoughtful moments:
💛 Staff were surprised with a special morning tea to recognise the care they bring to our community.
🎵 Louise visited the Rumbalara room, singing “Wash Your Face with Orange Juice” and the crowd favourite “Herman the Worm”—the children loved it so much they asked for encores!
🎨 Yakuwa children crafted handmade shakers as gifts for the Amaroo room.
🖼️ Amaroo children painted beautiful artworks for Amy and Louise.
👐 Rumbalara children supported their neighbours in Yakuwa by helping set up sensory play experiences.
🧡 Kinder made our cook Rhiannon’s day with handprint art, a custom apron, and a special plaque they designed just for her.

From tiny hands to big hearts, kindness filled every corner of our centre this week.
We hope you can feel the warm-and-fuzzies through the screen! 💫

Late last year, we began recruiting for Northern Victoria Institute of TAFE's (NVITAFE) Executive Leadership Team. NVITAFE is the entity that has been formed following the amalgamation of GOTAFE and Wodonga TAFE.

We are pleased to share the process is complete, and we have appointed our new Executive Leadership Team for NVITAFE.

A friendly reminder that our early learning centres will be closed today due to the public holiday. We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable long weekend; however you choose to spend it. We'll be back to our usual opening hours from tomorrow. 🦘

Say hello, not to a new face, but one that's been around a *little* while now.

Jess first joined us at Kids on Campus back in 2015 - yes that's right, she's celebrated her 10-year work-a-versary with us last year! In that time, Jess has been a committed educator. She's shaped futures, ignited imaginations and created spaces where children can thrive.

"I chose a career in Early Childhood to help children grow and become a positive influence in their lives. Since I finished high school, I was unsure of a career choice. After a casual trial at a childcare centre, I decided it was definitely a career I wanted to pursue, which then lead to experience with a range of age groups from babies to primary school aged. Through these times I have learnt how to build personal relationships with the children, getting to know their personal traits and quirks."

We hope we continue to see this smiling face around for many more years to come! 🥰
