Tailored learning: programmes for every child's readiness
At Kiddies Campus, we recognise that each child is unique, with distinct developmental needs. Our tailored learning programmes are designed to accommodate children’s physical, emotional, and cognitive readiness, rather than just their age. This personalised approach ensures that your child receives the appropriate support and challenges to empower their growth.
Our centre is divided into purpose-built areas for under-two and over-two age groups, allowing us to provide age-appropriate activities and experiences. By focusing on individual readiness, we can offer targeted learning opportunities that nurture each child's strengths and address their developmental needs. This approach not only boosts their confidence but also creates a love for learning that will last a lifetime.
Celebrating a diverse and multicultural environment
We celebrate the rich tapestry of cultures within our community, fostering respect for diversity and creating an inclusive environment where every child feels valued and understood. Our multicultural approach includes celebrating festivals like Diwali and offering assistance for non-English-speaking children through peer and teacher assistance.
By working closely with families, we ensure a smooth connection between home and childcare. Embracing various cultures and traditions helps children develop a global perspective and respect for others, enriching their learning experience and preparing them for a diverse world.
Stimulating outdoor spaces with purpose-built playgrounds
Our centre, located on a secluded 900 m² property in Dunedin, features purpose-built playgrounds designed to cater to different developmental stages. These safe and stimulating outdoor spaces provide children with the opportunity to explore, play, and learn in an environment tailored to their needs.
Our playgrounds are divided into areas for under-two and over-two age groups, ensuring that each child has access to appropriate play equipment and activities. By offering a variety of outdoor experiences, we strengthen children's physical development and encourage their natural curiosity. These playgrounds are not just spaces for play; they are essential components of our holistic approach to early childhood care.
Our central location ensures access to Dunedin's cultural experiences
Being centrally located in Dunedin offers unique opportunities for interactive learning beyond the classroom. We take advantage of the city's rich cultural resources, including art galleries, libraries, and the Octagon, to provide children with real-world experiences that enhance their education.
By exploring local cafes and other community spaces, we make learning fun and connected to everyday life. These excursions not only broaden children's horizons but also help them develop social skills and a sense of community. Our central location ensures that your child has access to a wealth of cultural and educational experiences that encourage their growth and development.
Nutritious food for growing bodies
At Kiddies Campus, we are committed to cultivating children's holistic well-being through nutritious meals prepared fresh on-site. Our menu includes halal food, ensuring respect for all dietary needs. We prioritise balanced meals that children love, providing the energy and nutrients they need to grow and learn.
Our focus on healthy eating habits helps children develop a positive relationship with food, setting the stage for lifelong well-being. By offering fresh, delicious meals, we support their physical development and contribute to their overall happiness and health.
Guiding holistic growth in a warm and accepting environment
Kiddies Campus offers an encouraging and diverse environment that prioritises care before education. Our tailored programmes, multicultural community, and access to Dunedin’s resources support your child's holistic growth.
As an early learning centre, we focus on creating a nurturing atmosphere where children can explore, discover, and grow at their own pace. Our play to learn approach allows children to engage in hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and enhance their development.

Strong partnerships with family for child growth
We believe that a strong partnership between our team and families is crucial for supporting children's growth. At Kiddies Campus, we work closely with parents to create a collaborative environment where children can thrive. By maintaining open communication and building trusting relationships, we ensure that each child's needs are met both at home and in our centre.
Our family-centred approach fosters a sense of community and belonging, providing children with a consistent and supportive network. By working together, we can help your child reach their full potential and develop the skills they need to succeed.
