Kaye Ward

Centre Manager - Community Kids Caboolture

“I have a passion for working with children of all ages.”

My career in childcare began in 1995 and I have a Diploma in Children’s services. I have a passion for working with children of all ages. I love to watch them learn and grow. It is a gift to be able to be able to see the world through their eyes. 

Throughout my time in child care and early education, I've learned each child is an individual and that they grow and learn at their own pace. At our child care centre, we make sure children are loved for who they are, and we take the time to get to know each child as an individual. 

I have always been able to ensure that all children in my care feel safe, secure and respected at all times. All of our team members are up to date with their annual child protection training. We have a team of 30 passionate educators from diverse backgrounds, some of whom have been in the child care industry for many years and trust us with their own children. Even though we are a large centre, all the team members know all the children by name.  

When parents come in for a tour, we ensure that they feel welcomed from the minute they come through our doors. We can show them how Xplor, our centre app works, assist in linking CCS and bank accounts. I build relationships with the families by always being available to help with all their queries and concerns. 

I love to read stories and singing songs with my "adopted grandchildren" at the centre. I am always available to help feed the babies, and always available for a cuddle. I love to draw with the kindergarten children but they always pick on me as I can only draw stick people.  

There is magic in the world. Look through children's eyes and you will find it. 

I look forward to welcoming your family to our child care centre.
