We understand that placing your child in child care is an important decision, and as such, we feel privileged to play an integral role in your child’s learning and development with KAZ Possums Child Care Centre. Our aim is to function as an extended family in order to provide your child with the security, warmth, and love which are essential to their development and growth.
Our professional and dedicated educators provide a program that enables children to learn through exploration and stimulating experiences. We aspire to create an environment that provides enjoyable and creative learning. This is achieved through activities designed to support your child in all areas of growth.
The educational program at KAZ Possums Child Care Centre is based on an approved learning framework. This focuses on the developmental needs, interests, and experiences of each child. The learning journey of each child is documented and made available in the child’s portfolio so that families can regularly check how their child is developing.
Hi, my name is Peter Kazacos. My wife is Vicki, and we own KAZ Possums.
I am a Technologist, and I have always been passionate about children’s education. So, 10+ years ago, we founded KAZ Early Learning Centre in Dolan’s Bay. We are also majority shareholder of one Centre in Bowral.
I spend part of my week in Bowral, where Vicki and I founded a Charity, Your Angel. Amongst many things, the Charity also focusses on using technology to help children with special needs, in particular Autism.
We have 9 grandchildren, this is another reason why good care for children and early education is so important to us.

Posted on Josephine ZTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. KAZ Possums is such an amazing childcare centre. All 3 of my children have attended, after moving my eldest 2 from another centre I was not happy with, I cannot stress enough how much the high level of care here has made such a positive impact on my kid's lives. The educators are all like family and treat everyone so wonderfully. The centre is also so generous with all their events. I cannot recommend them enough!!Posted on EbonyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely care about the children’s wellbeing.

The environment is always welcoming, clean, and full of care, and you can really tell how much the team love what they do. A special thank you to Laisa, she is absolutely amazing with the children. She’s so kind, patient, and genuinely caring, and it shows in the way the kids respond to her. She creates such a safe and happy space, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing my child is in her care. We’re so grateful to have found Kaz Possums and couldn’t recommend it more highly!Posted on Derek-Leigh VoceaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

My daughter loved to go to KAZ possum every day. Director Yan is so responsible and considerate. You will be worry-free to drop your kids there. Educators there are nice and enthusiastic. They set up all kinds of interesting activities for kids to play, and learn from play. KAZ possum also offers incursions and excursions. Christmas party is the most amazing thing. You would be surprised by the performance of your kids. I feel so lucky to find KAZ possum.Posted on Olivia TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic 5 years together, all 3 of my kids attended Kaz. The staff are all lovely, compassionate and wonderful educators. All of my kids were sad to leave for primary school. There is a wide variety of kids activities everyday. The outdoor area has a sandpit that the kids love, they can make compost and have water play on the warmer days. They loved making play dough and cooking. They all learnt to write their names, count and the alphabet. There are incursions and excursions, which the kids all loved. This Christmas they made gingerbread houses. Highly recommend Kaz!Posted on Zoey茵乐飘飘Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 诚意推荐kaz possums幼儿园。我女儿之前每周有两天在另外一家连锁幼儿园,但是她似乎明显感到Kaz令她更安全更舒服,教育工作者令她感到充满爱。她每天回家都会想着kaz里每一个教育者和她的伙伴们。我们决定取消了别的幼儿园。我们非常喜欢kaz的归属感。并且教育工作者给孩子们每天安排的活动很有意义。我会向所有的人都推荐。Posted on Ashley LingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I transferred my son from another day care in July, and my only regret is not moving him sooner when he turned 2. With only a few month, he’s speech and social skills has improved dramatically and I cannot thank all the educators enough. The educators all put in so much love and care. Everyday there’s always something new and exciting to stimulate those curious minds. I cannot wait to bring my daughter over when she turns 2.Posted on Bryn RiddTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn't be happier with the standard of care and education provided at KAZ Possums. Having had two kids, I can safely say that this has been our best preschool experience. My daughter was shy and reserved at first but quickly warmed to each of the welcoming carers and easily made friends with the other kids. Now she is genuinely excited to go to preschool every day, coming back every evening happy and full of stories. The staff are experienced and attentive to my daughter's needs. They work so hard on organising engaging and fun activities for the kids, but are flexible enough to tailor them to her personally, if needed, and always go above and beyond to help to improve her skills and learning. I have seen my daughter's development soar since going to KAZ Possums. We are so glad we found KAZ Possums!
