Our RAFAKidz family

Just like our children, our waiting lists are growing! In each of our 16 settings we create experiences that are special, unique and child focused. Our staff are specially selected for their loving and caring nature, as well as their expertise. The needs of military families are unique, and at RAFAKidz we take extra care to make sure those needs are met.

For every child that comes through the doors of RAFAKidz, no matter their ability, background or circumstances you could provide experiences and opportunities that will help them be confident and reach their potential.

What makes us different

By joining us as part of our RAFAKidz family, we make a commitment to your ongoing development and future career opportunities. (Please read our staff testimonials on our website!) We ask that you bring a positive, caring and enthusiastic attitude and in return we will give you a great induction experience, training and development opportunities and you’ll be learning on the job from amazing colleagues! You’ll be the first to hear of any permanent roles which suit your skills and experience should you be looking for something more permanent in the future.

1. Being hands on and creative with messy and outdoor play activities
2. Helping with meals and snack times
