About our centre
At Kool Kidz Childcare Craigieburn, we provide a light-filled, single-story environment for children from six weeks to six years old. Our centre boasts an extensive outdoor yard with bike tracks, sandpits, a cubby house, teepee, water pump, and a vegetable garden, featuring natural wood products. With a separate kinder playground and large wall-to-ceiling windows, children can enjoy a vibrant and engaging experience. Conveniently located near a freeway exit and backing onto a nature reserve, our centre offers an enriching experience and is very accessible for families.
Kool Beginnings Curriculum (KBC) is our child-focused, play-based, comprehensive curriculum. Built on the Australian Early Years Learning Framework, we aim to support all children, including those in 3-year-old and 4-year-old kindergarten, to grow and learn through an educational program tailored to their individual goals and needs. We ensure families, educators, and visitors feel a sense of belonging, safety, and security to be who they are and are supported to become all they can be.
Our light-filled, age-appropriate childcare centre offers an extensive selection of educational and engaging books and toys for all our curious age levels.
Led by Bachelor-qualified kindergarten teachers and early childhood certified educators, we offer a higher than required educator-to-child ratio to provide more individual attention and consistency of care for your child.
Our Kool Konnect app keeps you updated and informed throughout the day with photos, insights into your child’s activities, and exciting news.

Meet our Owners, Ash and Shikha
Meet the visionary couple leading the team at Kool Kidz Childcare Craigieburn—Ash and Shikha, devoted parents of three wonderful kids, including a 14-year-old and 8-year-old twins. Their journey into the childcare industry is inspired by a passion for nurturing young minds and making a positive impact on early childhood development.
Choosing Craigieburn for their childcare dream was a natural decision for Ash and Shikha, driven by the vibrant, diverse, and family-friendly atmosphere that aligns seamlessly with their vision. As business owners for 15 years, successfully managing a 7-11 franchise, their extensive background in business management, customer service, and operational excellence equips them with the skills needed to create a solid foundation for their commitment to the childcare industry.
Ash and Shikha’s roles at Kool Kidz Childcare Craigieburn are to ensure a seamless and enriching experience for children, families, and staff. Their goal is to exceed the expectations of a childcare centre, providing an additional educator in every room, and creating a positive and empowering culture for staff.
Their involvement at Kool Kidz goes beyond the operations. They will seek regular interactions with families, hands-on engagement with staff, and hosting community events. Ash and Shikha envision creating an open and collaborative environment, reinforcing the family-oriented approach upheld by Kool Kidz.
Reflecting on personal experiences, Ash and Shikha emphasise the importance of providing attention, support, and assurance to families, drawing from their own challenges when enrolling their eldest daughter in childcare. With a focus on inclusivity, mutual respect, and shared values, the couple’s goal for Kool Kidz Childcare Craigieburn is a place where families feel connected, supported, and an integral part of the thriving community.
As they embark on this journey, Ash and Shikha’s core values of integrity, respect, and a commitment to continuous learning will form the foundation of Kool Kidz Childcare Craigieburn’s culture, fostering an environment where everyone—children, parents, and staff—can flourish together.
What Parents Are Saying About Kool Kidz Craigieburn
Our childcare & kinder programs
Infants
0-1 years
To nurture your infant’s growing mind and body, our qualified educators create healthy, caring relationships with you and your child. Our rooms are filled with toys and equipment for early, play-based fun and learning to support your infant’s physical, intellectual, emotional, and social development. They also include separate cot rooms where your baby can safely sleep according to their routine in their own cot.
Our infant Curriculum fosters early sensory exploration, motor skill development, and social-emotional growth through sensory play, tummy time, and interactive games.
Toddlers
1-2 years
From learning how to solve problems—to discovering books, stories, and words and creatively expressing themselves through activities like painting, singing, and dancing—experience the joy as your child becomes more independent, adventurous, and confident during these wonderful years.
We recognise your toddler’s individuality and increasing sense of independence. Our educators take time to work with your toddler to encourage their understanding of their developing emotions. Immersed in our language-rich environment, your toddler learns words and sentences by singing songs, telling stories and engaging in conversations.
Kindergarten
3-6 years
Not only do we offer an action-packed, immersive and engaging curriculum, but free kindergarten is available at Kool Kidz. Our 15-hour per week program for four-year-olds and 5-to-15-hour program for three-year-olds saves you $2,101 per child.
Our teachers follow our Kool Beginnings Curriculum, which implements the Victorian Early Years and Development Framework (VEYLDF). In our purpose-designed rooms, your child learns and develops the skills they need to be ready for school—and life.
