ABOUT US

Taigum Kids Early Learning Centre has recently undergone the Assessment and Rating process in August 2015 and has been awarded the highest rating of ‘Exceeding the National Quality Standard’ by ACECQA. We at Taigum Kids provide our children with an environment that is warm, welcoming and a place where children feel “LOVED” safe and secure, where children’s individual needs and interests are valued and supported. We treat each child with respect and dignity and allow children the freedom to grow as individuals. We endeavour to provide our children with a sense of Belonging where they feel accepted and are able to develop attachments and trust in their Educators. It’s our aim to work with all Families to provide a nurturing and stimulating early learning environment for all children in our care.

At Taigum Kids Early Learning Centre we embrace and celebrate all cultures. We provide ongoing support for all families through the transition from home into their new learning environment within the child care setting. At Taigum Kids we uphold and respect the importance of families being the first and foremost educators of their children. This is supported through the collection and sharing of information about each individual child between the families and the educators. We openly welcome families to participate in our service by establishing an Open Door Policy.

Centre Manager

Shannon O'Brien

I have worked within the education sector for 11 years, from the week I graduated high school. I have a strong passion for ensuring that all children have a safe place to learn where they are nurtured, respected and valued as an individual. I am a mum of three young children and so I understand just how emotional it can be leaving your child in the care of someone else each day.

I have a vision for our industry to be valued as we teach little minds in the most important part of their learning journey, which aligns with Nathan Wallis’ theory on brain development. I am so excited to come to work each day in our Reggio Emilia inspired centre and believe that this is our point of difference in this fast-growing and ever-changing industry. There is simply nothing that compares to the principles and practices of Kids ELC. Our company philosophy speaks to my heart. I have a vision for our centre to be completely united with a team of passionate educators who strive for the best quality care for all children within our service, to be involved with our community in every possible aspect, and to be exceeding in all areas of the National Quality Standard.
