Early childhood education and care service Kids Club Elizabeth Street, located in the Sydney CBD, has been nominated as a finalist in the 2023 City Suburbs Local Business Awards for Outstanding Early Childhood Centre.

“I am absolutely thrilled and honoured to have Kids Club Elizabeth Street be nominated and selected as a finalist for the Local Business Awards,” said Centre Director Cathy Henein.

“This recognition is a great encouragement for us to continue providing the highest level of care and education, and we are grateful to our families and the community for their support.”

The service has been “proudly serving families in the area for over six years,” and Ms Henein said the team are “incredibly grateful” for the support of families and the local community.

Being chosen as a finalist in the Early Childhood Services category for the local business awards is a remarkable achievement, given the fierce competition from other exceptional providers, she continued.

“From the moment you step into Kids Club Elizabeth Street, you can feel the warmth and care that radiates from this amazing team,” said James Barrow, a father who uses the service, noting that the centre’s staff, facilities, and educational programs make it feel like “a warm and supportive environment that feels like a second home”.
