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.
