Kozy Kids Childcare Glenside
You’ll be impressed with your choice of local childcare services, but no more so than Kozy Kids located in the heart of the Cedar Woods development. Kozy Kids at Glenside boasts brand-new, purpose-built environments developed through a collaboration between architects and the Kozy Kids team. This means their environments are not only functional but built with an understanding of children, education, and quality care in mind. The new development builds onto an existing heritage site in a celebration of old and new. The service will become a drawcard for the residents within the development and the surrounding suburbs who are seeking quality care.
A word from the Kozy Kids team:
At Kozy Kids “We don’t just fit in, we stand out” has been our motto since 2017 when we opened our first service. We aim to be not only the leader for the industry but the standard that is aspired to.
At Kozy Kids we are committed to providing high quality care. We have a strong belief that children need to feel secure in a new environment which is why we implement primary caring at all our centres. Primary carers are mentored and trained to engage in responsive and meaningful interactions with children to build trusting relationships which support each child to feel secure, confident, and included. While child care centres are typically group care environments primary caring ensures that there is a carer specifically focussed on caring for each child who uses their understanding of that child’s individual needs, capabilities and interests to maximise their learning and development. We want families to have a place where they can feel secure about leaving their child knowing the educators care about their child as an individual. We want children to have fun in their learning, be curious, ask questions and most importantly feel safe, respected and valued

As a friend of Kids In Adelaide as well as having 13 years experience as a Reception teacher, I was so excited to be asked to write a blog about helpful tips for parents of children who are starting out on their exciting school journey! Hopefully, the following tips help you and your child in the preparations for starting school (please remember these are general tips and may not all apply to you and your child). Beginning school is a very steep learning curve for many children, so the more help you can give them to prepare for school, the easier the transition will be. My first tip for parents is to stock up on your wine and beer supply because you will NEED it!!!! 13 years is a LONG time! On a more serious note - Tip #1: Settling into school In the first term of school a child has so much learning to do including new rules, expectations, routines, to put their hand up to talk, what foods in their lunch box they are supposed to eat when, what different bells mean as well as social skills, learning alphabet sounds (phonics), Mathematics skills and the beginning phases of…

When it comes to choosing where you’re going to leave your precious little one, it’s important to feel comfortable and to know that you’ve made the right decision. This is not always easy, and it can be confusing trying to work out what is offered, and which centre is the best match for you and your family. Below are some points that might help you decide what’s right for you. There are certainly practical decisions that need to be made such as convenience, pricing, operating hours and the waiting list. However here are what I like to call some of the heart factors that could really make a difference for you and your child. There are also National quality standards, all centres in Australia are independently assessed and have a rating. Check the rating of the centres that you are exploring and ensure they are at least meeting the national standards or have a clear plan that demonstrates how they are working towards meeting the minimum standards. You can find more information on the national standards here www.acecqa.gov.au/nqf/national-quality-standard Most centres will offer you a tour, you can go have a look around and meet the education team to get a…
