At Kenmore Hills Early Learning, we’re excited to open our doors for 2026 enrolments, and we can’t wait to welcome new families into our nature-loving community. If you’ve been searching for an early learning centre that goes beyond traditional childcare, where your child can truly connect with nature while developing essential life skills, then you’ve found your perfect match.
Why Families Choose Kenmore Hills Early Learning
Before we dive into the enrolment process, let’s talk about what makes our centre special. At Kenmore Hills Early Learning, we believe in Wildhood, a philosophy that takes children back to a time when shoes were optional, imagination was explored, and enjoying nature through play was the focus.
Here’s what sets us apart:
- Wildlings Forest School Programme: Every Monday, children embark on outdoor adventures that build resilience, confidence, and independence – at no extra cost
- Personal Connection: We know your child from their favourite bedtime story to how they like their sandwich cut
- All-Inclusive Care: Chef-prepared meals, nappies, sunscreen, and enrichment programmes are all included in your daily fee.
- Nature-Based Learning: True nature play is woven throughout our curriculum, allowing children to learn from and respect Mother Nature
- Nurturing Environment: Where every child is known, loved, safe, healthy, and happy
