Trained in child protection, safety, and mandatory reporting obligations

Supported through ongoing professional development and mentoring
Creating a Culture of Trust
Child safety is more than just compliance — it’s part of who we are. Across all our centres, we foster a culture of openness, accountability, and transparency.
We encourage families to speak with their Centre Director if they have any questions, concerns, or suggestions relating to child safety or wellbeing. Open communication helps us work in partnership to ensure the best outcomes for every child.
Our Promise
We take our responsibility seriously — and we will always act in the best interest of the children entrusted to us. From our policies and training to our daily interactions, every decision we make is guided by the commitment to keeping children safe, supported, and thriving.
Leadership That Puts Children First
We take our responsibility seriously — and we will always act in the best interest of the children entrusted to us.
This commitment starts at the very top. As an organisation led by families, for families, Bright Steps Academy is proud to uphold the highest standards of child safety — with every educator, Centre Director, and support team member sharing in that responsibility each day.
Together, we’re creating safe, trusted spaces where children can grow, explore, and thrive.

Bright Steps Academy is a welcoming early learning community that provides children and families with access to top-quality resources, support, and state-of-the-art facilities. We are dedicated to partnering with families to ensure the best outcomes for children through our holistic approach to early childhood education.
Our holistic approach to education is rooted in contemporary research on how children learn and develop in early childhood. This foundational knowledge enables our educational teams to create enriching environments and experiences that offer diverse learning opportunities, supporting children’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development.
All Bright Steps Academy childcare centres are carefully designed to provide each age group with the optimal learning environment. From the hand-selected equipment in every classroom to our signature education programmes and our most valuable resource – our team members. Bright Steps Academy focuses on what is best for children’s learning and development.
Every educator at Bright Steps Academy is committed to providing the highest quality early childhood education and care. As a team, we focus on setting the benchmark standard for all aspects of the National Quality Standards. All Bright Steps Academy childcare centres comply with the National Quality Standards (NQS) and the National Quality Framework (NQF).
All Bright Steps Academy Early Learning Centres are fully catered for the convenience of families. Our services provide all meals, nappies, wipes, bedding, hats, sunscreen, and water bottles, ensuring stress-free morning routines for parents and children alike.
At Bright Steps Academy, we understand the importance of children developing positive, long-term relationships with their educators and carers. To support team continuity and career fulfilment, we offer ongoing team training and development opportunities to help our team members grow and enhance their skills.
Training takes place both in the classroom and through planned sessions, courses, and information evenings. Our goal is to encourage team members to pursue their professional interests, develop their skills, and progress their careers with Bright Steps Academy.
