Our Story
Kids Can Fly was founded in 2001 following research into early childhood development and the role of parents and caregivers.
Our work recognizes that experiences during the early years help shape a child’s development, learning and well-being.
Kids Can Fly received charitable status in 2003. Since then, we have grown into a trusted community resource for children and families.
Our programs create welcoming spaces where families can learn, play, connect and build relationships with others.
