ABOUT OUR CENTRE
Welcome to The Lakes South Morang Kindergarten
At Kids First, we believe the early years are the most important years. Our brand new, purpose-built centre has been designed with children in mind — bright, welcoming spaces that invite curiosity, creativity, and connection.
With small group sizes, your child will receive the individual attention they deserve. Our qualified educators use play-based learning to build confidence, develop social skills, and lay the foundations for a positive start to school — all within a close-knit community that genuinely feels like a second family.
Children are eligible to start kindergarten if they turn 3 or 4 by 30 April in the year they begin.
Use the virtual tours above to explore our learning spaces, or complete our enquiry form to request an in-person tour. We’ll be in touch to confirm a time that works for your family.
