Welcome to the ‘Kids Co’ Early Learning Centre Melbourne City
Providing the safest and most positive environment for your child is not only a primary need for a growing kid but it also lays down a strong foundation of their mental, physical and emotional growth.
We acknowledges the Traditional Owners of this land, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong People, and recognises their continuing connection to the land and waterways. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging and extend this to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People. We recognise diversity within First Nations people and acknowledge the important role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people continue to play in our LGBTIQA+ communities.
Child care and early learning centres in Melbourne, CBD like Kids and Co. Childcare provides a safe place for children to learn in a secure place with qualified and merited educators who are no less than a guardian. We give every child the time and care they need for nourishment, learning, understanding, and playing. After all, the best learning happens when you are healthy and having fun.
Give your kid the loving, fun and friendly environment in which they will thrive in every area of life. From making healthy friendships to class lessons, we solely believe in learning by practice.
All of our curriculum is designed to accommodate every child’s special needs, be it the need for closer attention or for more time.
Our educators will hold the hand of every kid in safety until they learn to do everything on their own and then they will help them until they thrive everywhere.
Family Owned and Operated
Most child care and early learning centres today are owned by corporate entities that are listed on the stock exchange and only see your child as a means to increase the value of their shareholdings.
Kids & Co, on the other hand, is 100% family owned and operated, so the people that own the early learning centre are also the people working in the centre, working directly with families and children, getting to know each and every one at a personal level. Kids and Co is underpinned with over 25 years of experience from our owners Paul and Kathy Klisaris.
Both Paul and Kathy believe in a hands-on approach, and will be seen contributing to the daily tasks that childcare has to offer. From supporting our Educators, to nurturing the development of the children and giving parents the peace of mind that all possible measures are put in place to enhance their child’s development and safety.
Early Learning Child Care Centre Melbourne CBD
At Kids and Co. Child Care, our strongest belief is that every kid is capable of being a competent learner and successful performer, they only need a supportive and nurturing environment to prosper. This is why we aim to provide an inspiring place to them which they can call home.
At a young age, the most important things for parents and guardians should be to bring up their child in a curious way. Early in life, the best way to learn new things and retain them is by asking questions about the things we see around us everyday. Our early learning centre works to instill this kind of curiosity in every child so they ask, explore and find the answers themselves.
Give your child an earnest and harmonious second home, where they not only learn from books but also life and friends. This safe space will encourage your kid to not only learn by themselves but also by sharing and growing together.
Allow your child to grow and discover their full potential by inspiring self-confidence and imagination into them.
Our Rooms
At Kids & Co. Early Learning Centre we go above and beyond the regulations in regards to ratios of staff to children. At all times in all 7 rooms we can ensure that there is an extra educator in the room. We strongly believe that taking this approach enhances all children’s learning and of course minimizes the risk of any incidents that may occur.
- Bamal – 8 weeks to 18 months (Ratio 1 Educator to 4 Children)
- Gura – 1 to 2 years (Ratio 1 Educator to 4 Children)

- Burra – 4 to 5 years (Ratio 1 Educator to 11 Children)
At Kids & Co. Early Learning Centre both Guwing and Burra are government founded Kindergarten Rooms, which offer a diverse learning experience to all children. Our Kinder program along with our Educational program across the service is based on children’s interest. Ensuring that all children get the opportunity to learn about their interests. We believe taking this approach to learning gives children a strong sense of belonging working in line with the National Quality Framework.
Our Room Leaders develop programs that allow all children to participate in an encouraging, fun and inclusive way. Learning is extended through group time discussions, activities and through many incursions that we have at Kids & Co. All of our extracurricular activities come at no extra cost to the families, as we strive to provide the most inclusive experience to all children and parents.

Where do I begin, we’re so thankful to have our son attend such a beautiful childcare centre. Hard to believe the level of care that goes into the day to day running of the service. Our little man has been attending Kids & Co for 6 months, and he absolutely loves going everyday. The educators in Bamal really do go above and beyond in making sure we feel comfortable everyday he goes to childcare.
If you’re looking for a childcare centre that feels like your own home, I strongly recommend sending your children or child to Kids & Co.
Georgia Alfonso
Our son Ethan has been attending Kids and Co for about 3 months now and we all couldn’t be happier with our decision to enrol him. From the very beginning Emma made the enrolment process so easy and is incredibly professional and a delight to deal with. All of the wonderful carers in the room are just incredible, and Ethan loves every minute of being there! Thanks to everyone at Kids and Co! Highly recommend..
Rebecca Billington
We moved to the Docklands just under a year ago and had our then 3 yr old attend Kids&Co. She transitioned beautifully and has now as a Kinder student flourished and always comes home happy and talks about her latest adventure. She is always encouraged by the staff and the interests of the students are always considered for learning opportunities. The experiences given such as a Wild Life visit, Cafe experience, Farm Days and Pony rides really immerse the children is positive ways too. Such a busy, creative and educational place that we will miss once our daughter goes to school.
