KAZ Possums Child Care Centre has established a close-nit team of skilled early childhood professionals that provide kind, warm and constructive care to children. Our Educators and Staff ensure that children learn values that support diversity, equality and respect through example and modelling.

Peter

Owner/Director

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.

Blake

Educator

Hello everyone. My name is Blake and I am currently studying a Bachelor of Primary Education with a specialisation in Early Childhood. I first entered the early childhood profession as a preschool soccer coach, which made me realise that working with children in the early years was rewarding and a true passion of mine.

I also believe that I have an important responsibility to become not only a quality Early Childhood Teacher, but also a positive male role model for all the children that I work with.

I enjoy playing a variety of sports like cricket or soccer, woodworking and spending time with my friends and family.

I am proud to be apart of this wonderful team and hope to get to know all of the wonderful Kaz Possums children and families!

Kirralee

Educator

Hello - my name is Kirralee, and I am currently studying my Bachelor of Education the Early Years.

I’m really enjoying my studies and it’s great that I can put them into practice here with your wonderful children.

I enjoy playing with my dog Ace, going to the beach, and socialising with my friends.

I believe that providing children with a positive and engaging learning environment within the early years truly fosters their future love for learning.
