About Us
A proudly Australian-owned and operated childcare centre, Kindoo is committed to providing a safe, enriching environment where your little ones can learn, grow, and discover their full potential.
Our Story
After unexpectedly finding herself a widow with two children, Kindoo founder Martina Dunkel faced the challenge of balancing her role as a hands-on mother with the need for affordable, high-quality childcare. Not satisfied with her existing options—expensive extended care and limited sessional classes— Martina saw an opportunity to create a solution for herself.
Drawing on her experience running businesses, Martina founded Kindoo. Her goal was to provide a nurturing environment where children receive exceptional care, and their families are supported by a community of like-minded individuals.
Our Values
At Kindoo, we understand the importance of peace of mind and ensuring that every child receives the care and support they need to get the best start in life. That’s why it’s our priority to provide Ferntree Gully families with childcare that is:
- Affordable: We know how difficult it is to find quality child care at an affordable price. At Kindoo we strive to keep our rates competitive without compromising our quality of care.
- Flexible: We provide families with the ability to change their bookings each week and the flexibility to access both casual and emergency bookings when needed.
- Industry Compliant: At Kindoo, we pride ourselves on our strict adherence to all industry health and safety policies to ensure the safety of your children.
- Tailored: Our learning programs are personalised to meet each child's goals and developmental needs. We take into account their interests to create an environment where they can flourish.
Our Learning Programs
All Kindoo learning programs are based on the Early Years Development Framework and delivered by degree-qualified professionals. What’s more, they’ve been thoughtfully developed and specifically designed to meet the early learning requirements and developmental goals of each age group—ranging from six-month-olds to six-year-olds.
Our curriculum aims to provide children with fun and enriching experiences that foster their love for learning and build the foundational skills needed for a smooth transition to primary school. More than just academics, we also focus on your little one’s social and emotional skills using the most up-to-date teaching practices and approaches. This way, you can have peace of mind knowing your little one is in good hands.
