Early Childcare Educators Appreciation day at Kids College Childcare
At Kids College we have a lovely tradition of doing fluffy bunnies. Fluffy bunnies is where each of our staffing team members writes an anonymous compliment to each other. We compile the lists and each of our ladies gets her list of compliments. It is so lovely to see how other people view you and we love our tradition showing each other love and respect. We have selected one of the anonymous comments and each of our ladies chosen motivational quotes to share with you today. A very special thank you to Kaye Patullo for coming and spoiling our ladies with a surprise massage pampering day. A whole hearted thank you to the families who have sent messages and tokens of appreciation. These are the wonderful people who are loving caring and educating your children each and every day. Thank you ladies, you are beyond amazing!
What does being an early childhood educator at Kids College mean to us?
We take great joy spending these precious moments with you, making a real difference in lives of our families we hold dear.
We are proud to be building the base not just for today’s learning but for all future learning, sparking imaginations and creativity during our days playing together providing a happy fun childhood every child deserves to have.
Our centre is a safe haven for children but also a safe haven for us too. Our little magical bubble of childhood to enjoy and block out the pressures of everyday life as adults.
Our hearts are happy when we are giving love to our children, but not only do we give love, we receive it as well, as we are rejuvenated by children’s bright and joyful presence bringing sunshine into our days.
We get to relive the best moments of our own childhoods, reigniting a creative and colourful side that maybe got lost in the process of growing up and a chance to be that someone you needed when you were growing up, as the saying goes.
We get to learn new things every day, not one child or family is alike another and each day surprises us with challenges and ideas as we get more and more creative with our toolbox of skills and knowledge. You learn things you never expected to, I now know how to get playdough out of a child’s nose!
We are with a team of people who are like a big eclectic family, kooky and a wide mix of all different types of people adding to the fun every day bringing their own personal sparkle to our days.
Being welcomed in as part of the lives of families for such a long time, the years fly by and we become the your ‘home away from home’ laughing with you and enjoying all those crazy moments as children learn how the world works.
Simply put, sharing our days with your children brings joy and happiness to us all. Being greeted with a big smile and hello in the morning, running around in the sunshine outside, sharing a snuggle, watching an aspiring artist create, cheering on a budding athlete zooming along the bike track, listening to the theatre of their storytelling and tasting all those mud pies is not a bad day in the office.
We are privileged to be welcomed into your families and we thank you for your love and trust as we go on this journey together.

Thank you once again for everything you do.
