Coastal Kids is privately-owned and operated by Kerrie and Shaun Corrigan. They live in Emu Park with their three young daughters (Molly, Paris and Olivia), and understand the needs of families who are working, studying and commuting each day. Kerrie and Shaun purchased Coastal Kids in August 2006. Previously, Kerrie taught at Yeppoon Primary school for five years and Directed Long Day Care centres prior to teaching. Shaun worked in the mines, but once they had their children, he wanted to be closer – hence, they purchased the business and now all come to work together each day.
