Wee Wonders Child Care Centre

Wee Wonders Childcare Centre Kensington is proud of their hand-picked team of dedicated, passionate and committed educators. Thy understand that children are naturally curious, and do their best to foster this sense of wonder. 

Many of the long term educators have been with the centre for decades, and the consistency of staff makes the centre stand out from the rest.

The centre has had strong connections in the local community since 1997 and has individual goals and curriculum for each child. 

The team strives to promote and support the value of diversity, respect for the environment, sustainability practices and well-being, which includes eating and staying healthy.

The educators pride themselves on the close relationships they have with the families; as well as the connections in the local community. The team is proud to have consistently achieved ‘Exceeding National Standards’ ratings from The Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA), the regulatory body that undertakes the assessment and rating process of childcare services in each state and territory. 

I love working with children. It is both challenging and fulfilling. I believe every child deserves to receive quality and meaningful learning experiences to support their development. I ensure I pay special attention to their strengths and abilities, supporting them to develop more complex skills.  I strongly believe that children are capable and competent learners, who need to be  supported in their journey to reaching their full potential. I promote multiculturalism and help the children understand and respect similarities and differences among people, so they can contribute to creating a socially cohesive society. I am committed to providing a calm yet stimulating environment to both educators and children, as well as developing a close relationship with the families at Wee Wonders.

Sherry Peng, Wee Wonders Approved Provider & Director

I’ve wanted to be a childcare worker for as long as I can remember and I’m so happy that I found this warm loving environment. I started at Wee Wonders as a trainee the day I turned 18.  I always really look forward to starting with my new group each year, and caring and teaching them for their first years is so rewarding.

Wee Wonders Childcare Centre Kensington offers an array of extracurricular activities for the children, including:

School Readiness Program: the centre’s program is highly regarded among the local school community and seeks to ensure a smooth transition to school. It includes visits to the local school, use of dramatic play props such as uniforms,  lunch boxes and chalk boards, and taking part in local school activities such as fetes, open days, end of year concerts or special events.

Language program: the children take part in a learn to speak Mandarin language program at the centre. This gives them a solid foundation for learning other languages, with a focus on everyday social words such as greetings, feeling, colours and numbers.  

Dance program: the children enjoy a dance and movement program each week at the centre. This helps to build their gross motor skills, balance, coordination and social skills. 

Regular incursions: throughout the year the children enjoy special visitors such as Aboriginal dancers for NAIDOC week, educational puppet shows, chicken hatching and much more. 

At Wee Wonders Childcare Centre Kensington, the team believes that you truly are what you eat; which is why healthy eating is so important to them. Good nutrition builds healthy bodies and minds and gives children the best start to a lifetime of wellbeing and vitality.

As many of the children in long day care receive 50 – 70 per cent of their food intake while in care, the team understands how crucial it is that good choices are being made regularly.

The centre takes a proactive, family-centred approach to food, following the Australian Dietary Guidelines to ensure that their meals are prepared to meet the dietary requirements for children. All dietary requirements for children are carefully managed, including cultural requirements, allergies or other medical conditions.

Mealtimes are a happy, social and relaxed affair, where healthy eating habits are established in a social setting and key nutritional messages are taught in fun ways.
