The Service :

KU Braddon is in a beautiful tree lined street in Canberra’s Inner North, walking distance from the city, and offers beautiful outdoor environments. The outdoor learning environments were architecturally designed by a well-known landscaping group in Canberra, featuring a unique water pumping station, decks and quality finishes. KU Braddon is 55 places and provides a calm, loving place for children to socialise with other children – with a philosophy that care and education must be combined in planning for the needs, interests and skills of each child.

KU is our place, where we all belong. A safe, calm community of children, parents and educators. We are very proud to welcome the large and diverse KU family of children, families and staff who experience KU with us each day.
