Activities include gardening, bushwalking, and sensory play, promoting physical health and ecological awareness. These programs enhance problem-solving skills and a lifelong appreciation for nature.

After making a big interstate move during the peak of covid we enrolled our 3 year old daughter to this centre and a year latter we have never second guessed this decision. The staff here have become family to our daughter. They have been so reliable and trustworthy to make us feel so confident in the care they take. She loves attending this centre and has made some beautiful friendships. Her growth since being here has been incredible to watch. Every staff member here is always so warm and welcoming the moment you walk in the door.

Love KC north lakes, my daughter was the first one out of my 4 kids to go daycare, which was a big deal for me and my daughter, with fear of not being together. But the staff at KC north lakes made my daughters first day so easy for me to trust them with her. I definitely regret not letting my older kids attend daycare her teachers are the best she transitioned into daycare faster then expected. Staff is so welcoming & supportive always greeting me when I go in for drop offs & pick ups definitely recommend KC North lakes

The centre is beautifully designed with ample space for all the kids to play and blends into the surrounding bush land. The staff are attentive and caring and genuinely love their roles in educating the children. My son loves the food that is provided and has been comfortable and happy there since day 1.

I have had 3 little babies go through North Lakes Kids Capers and I cannot recommend this centre enough. The staff has been amazing and I feel confident to leave my babies with them. The teachers actually really do care for our kids and I couldn't ask for more. Thank you for loving my babies, it will never be forgotten

The staff are wonderful, genuine and caring. My son has been going to this centre since he was six months old and now that he is in his last year and about to graduate, we are a little sad he will soon be moving on to prep. Feels like a great big family.
