Who we are

Kidz Mob was created from a shared passion to improve the quality of Outside School Hours Care in Queensland. Our founders, Charlotte Meland and Charlie Renouf, have extensive experience and knowledge of the industry. The pair believe that with their forward-thinking ideas, knowledge and passion for the industry, they have the ability to create a community of services that will foster lifelong skills, attributes, and growth in children. Schools on the Sunshine Coast need the incorporation of Kidz Mob within their school community to provide that additional support for families and be a counterpart in fostering the next generations growth. Families that become a part of the Kidz Mob community will find safety, comfort, a sense of belonging, trust and mutual respect, and watch their children flourish in our play-based environment. 

Learning from the Dreamtime. 

Our philosophy, which stems from our motto, learning from the Dreamtime, acknowledges the wisdom, culture and beliefs of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people that has been passed on through generations. Kidz Mob believes that incorporating Indigenous culture, and the culture of families who attend our services, is the key to fostering a community of services that are inclusive, environmentally conscious, and a safe space for all children. We are dedicated to catering to each child’s individual needs and interests, to create, and develop life skills. We believe that providing children with activities and resources which hold significant value for them, allows them to engage at their own pace. We encourage them to take responsibility for their health and wellbeing through developing healthy habits that are embedded in the program and role modelled by our Educators. We will collaborate with parents/guardians and the community to welcome open discussions as their views in relation to the operation of our service are respected and valued. Kidz Mob will be a safe, fun, and supportive environment for all children and families.
