Kids Capers Childcare

I came looking at Kids Capers for the beautiful facilities, pirate ship and ocean views for my son.  As soon as I walked in for my sons tour I was like - Sign me up.  I immediately applied for a job and started one week later.  

There is paid staff meetings with dinner included (Umm say what?) my first week on the job we had a masseuse on site for Wellness wednesdays and every Wednesday there was cookies and little surprises.  Yes please !

There is heaps of room for growth within the company with many of our leadership starting from entry level with many educators being within the company for many years.  I love the environment that's soaked in sun and the fact I can have my lunch breaks walking along the ocean.  

I have also found the leadership to be very supportive with the CEO and Support Manager being very hands on and engaged with each educators journey.  You feel a part of a community and that's what it's all about. 

It's a great company that rewards greatness and if you put in the extra in the ordinary you can make your career extraordinary.  No day is the same and every day brings unique challenges and fun.  I love working here! 

I enjoy working for Kidscapers at Samford, management are very supportive and caring individuals and will work with you to assist with any issues. They treat all educators with respect and value. We often get recognised for our work from management through different staff room advents such as gifts, pizza days, platter surprises. The culture is professional and everyone works as a team, very friendly and approachable, love to laugh. The children are amazing because they have a strong sense of belonging to the environment and are constantly engaged due to our beautiful environment and fabulous educators. The wage is like everywhere else but we do receive a Christmas bonus which is wonderful, i have worked in several different centres due to not being happy, after 22 years I am here to stay with Kidscapers seriously couldn’t ask for a better organisation to work for for,

When I started at Kids Capers, I was a diploma qualified Educator with 10 years experience behind me, however, the only current vacancy available was for that of an Assistant Educator. Although this wasn’t what I had hoped for, something about the centre felt so right that I grabbed the opportunity with both hands. Fast forward 2 years and I have since worked my way up to the role of Assistant Manager and I can honestly say I have never looked back.  I feel so lucky to have the pleasure of working at such a beautiful centre filled with an incredibly, diverse and supportive team of individuals who all share the same passion and determination, even through challenging times, such as COVID-19. Aside from the wholesome team culture, Kids Capers offers amazing ongoing training opportunities, offsite excursions experiences, team bonding events, networking events, open days, community engagement opportunities and an incredible leadership programme for those who want to progress within their career. 

In 2021 I took a leap of faith and joined the Kids Capers team, and I'm glad I did.
Moving to Kids Capers was the best decision I have made for my professional career development and health.
As an educator with Kids Capers I feel confident to provide the best quality education and care to my little people, equipped by regular inter-company training, professional development seminars and educator reflective practices. 
I feel extremely fortunate to be surrounded by passionate, creative, and likeminded educators - all supported by a genuine and pro-active management team.
Educator of the quarter awards, centre "Fun Day's", organised team bonding experiences and "Wellness Wednesday's" are just a few of the amazing initiatives that make educators  like myself feel really genuinely appreciated.
I see myself with Kids Capers for the longevity, and look forward to it.

Worst place I've ever worked for, I'm not even sure what they do is legal. The management is verbally abusive and being sneaky. Higher-ups are rude and very demanding. Employees are expected to attend compulsory training ("staff meeting") every month, unpaid. These "staff meeting" can last for more than 2 hours. Employees are expected to stay after their shift everyday to clean up (eg. bleaching the entire bathroom), unpaid. Employees are expected to attend events (kindy graduation, parent info nights) unpaid (they don't say it is compulsory but there are consequences if you don't attend). They are always trying to keep as minimum staff as possible (doing under roof children with another centre branch in a different building) If you care about your health and well being, please think twice before you accept a work offer here.

Being in the industry only a short time, I was lucky enough to become employed fairly quickly with Kids Capers. Upon starting, the culture and atmosphere within the centre and engagement from management was a breath of fresh air. I had never worked in such a positive, friendly, and collaborative place where the staff and managers genuinely cared for you as an individual. While challenging on some days, I leave work every day with a happy heart and know that the children and families I help and the educators and managers I work with are appreciative of my efforts. The bonds I have with the children in my care, and the professionalism within the workplace to always put them first makes it a beautiful place to learn as an educator and grow as a person. 

I have only been with kids capers for 6 months, but did my placement before applying for a job. 
Very professional work place, that cares for there team and are always welcoming and happy to help no matter what. 
Not only do they go above and beyond for all the children, they show a great team work. They listen to all there workers, do monthly staff meetings, have one on one with there workers when they need help. Always supporting everyone, workers, families and the community. 
One of the best places to work and I’m so thankful that I get to work for the one place that I applied for once I finished my cert 3. 
Thank you kids capers mango hill for all you do for your team 

Upper management of Kids Capers don't care for anyone but themselves. They make you feel guilty about choosing family over work and expect you to attend weekend and outside of work hours events unpaid even if you have something else on. 
The children don't come first and I'm not sure they've ever heard of best practise with children constantly being pushed back to run on as limited staff as possible. 
This being said the centre staff are lovely and caring and go above and beyond with their jobs. 
I would expect a family owned childcare company to be more family friendly.

I love the companys Friendly environment, everyone works as a team! CEO constantly visits and acknowledges every employee by name and checks in on how we are going. The are such a great support for the center managers and educators. Kids Capers upholds a high quality care with dedicated educators in every center. love how all our centres communicate with each other and we have a staff page where we can share rand acknowledge our achievements.

love working with the Kids Capers childcare company, I have been working in this company for 4 years and I have come a long way just getting support by my CEO, support manager, centre manager, assistant manager, leadership team and educator staff.

Family and community focused childcare with a professional and dedicated team of educators who truly care about the children. Each centre has their own personal touch and engaging play spaces. Kids Capers Childcare are all about supporting and upskilling educators to be able to teach to their full potential. There is always professional development on offer to staff. Looking to take the next step in the field, they offer an amazing leadership program. The managers are understanding of staff needs and try accommodate where they can.
