What Makes Kotara Different
10 years apart of your local community
Creative Childcare Kotara has been part of the local community for more than 10 years and over that time we’ve welcomed hundreds of local families through our doors, many recommending us to friends and returning with younger siblings.
Educators who care
We value our families
We work closely with families, celebrate your child’s individual strengths, and create a warm, welcoming environment where children feel safe, supported and excited to come each day.
Safety is our top priority
Your child’s safety comes first. All educators are background checked and Safety Geeko trained. Our open-plan design with half walls and CCTV throughout the centre provides a safe, secure environment and added peace of mind for families.
Purpose-built outdoor spaces
Our purpose-built outdoor environment is one of Kotara’s defining features.
Children can explore rope climbing decks, a bamboo maze, a large sandpit, a bike track complete with its own pit-stop shed, balance beams and a teepee with seating, while helping care for the centre’s herb and vegetable gardens.
Inside, beautifully designed learning spaces encourage investigation, creativity, dramatic play and discovery. Together, these environments give children the space, confidence and freedom to explore, imagine and grow every day.

Play Spaces Created For The Right Learning Experience
At Creative Childcare Kotara, each of our learning environments is named after a renowned artist, reflecting the creativity, imagination and curiosity we encourage in every child. Just as every child is unique, each room is thoughtfully designed to support children through every stage of their learning and development with age-appropriate experiences that build confidence, independence and a love of learning.
Monet Room
6 Weeks – 2 Years
Like Monet's peaceful landscapes, our youngest children begin their early learning journey in a calm environment where secure relationships and everyday discoveries lay the foundation for future learning.
Matisse Room
2–3 Years
Inspired by Matisse's bold use of colour, children are encouraged to explore, create and develop confidence through hands-on experiences and play.

Frequently Asked Questions
At Creative Childcare Kotara, we welcome children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. Our programs are tailored to each stage of development, providing nurturing care and engaging learning experiences that help children grow with confidence from infancy through to preschool.
Our daily fee is designed to make life easier for busy families and includes:
- Nutritious meals, including breakfast, morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea
- Nappies and wipes
- Play-based educational programs
- A dedicated school readiness program
- Access to our purpose-built indoor and outdoor learning environments
Our team is also happy to explain how the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) may help reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
Yes. We understand every family’s routine is different, which is why we offer flexible childcare options where possible. Whether you need to adjust your child’s enrolled days or require shorter care hours, our team will work with you to find a solution that suits your family’s needs, subject to availability.
Our educational program is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), Australia’s approved learning framework for early childhood education. Through play-based learning, our educators create engaging experiences that build confidence, communication, creativity, early literacy, numeracy and social skills, while supporting each child’s individual interests, strengths and stage of development.
School readiness is about much more than learning letters and numbers. Our Preschool program helps children build confidence, independence, communication skills and positive learning habits that support a smooth transition to primary school. Every experience is designed to help children feel capable, confident and excited for the next stage of their learning journey.
Starting childcare is a big milestone, and we know every child settles in at their own pace. Our educators work closely with families to understand each child’s routine, interests and individual needs, helping them build strong relationships and feel comfortable in their new environment. With familiar educators and a welcoming atmosphere, children are supported every step of the way.
We use the OWNA app to keep families connected throughout the day. You’ll receive updates about your child’s learning, meals, sleep, wellbeing and special moments, along with photos and important centre announcements. Our educators also enjoy chatting with families at drop-off and pick-up, ensuring you stay connected to your child’s learning journey.
Creating a safe and ecure environment is our highest priority. Our experienced educators actively supervise children throughout the day while following strict health, safety and wellbeing policies. Security cameras are installed throughout the centre as an additional layer of security, supporting our commitment to maintaining a safe environment for children, families and staff.
To make life easier for families, we provide nutritious meals, nappies and wipes as part of your daily fee. We simply ask that children bring a drink bottle, a hat, a change of clothes and any personal comfort items they may need. Our team will provide a full checklist before your child’s first day.
Absolutely. We encourage all families to visit our centre before making a decision. A personalised tour gives you the opportunity to meet our educators, explore our learning environments, ask questions and experience firsthand what makes Creative Childcare Kotara such a trusted choice for local families.
