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.
