We only work with early learning centres
We're not a general agency that dabbles in childcare. EEVA works only with early learning centres, kindergartens and preschools across Australia. This is all we do.
Most centres are better in person than they look online. The warmth, the learning and the care are there in the room, but on a phone one centre looks much like the next. We film what's actually there, put it where families are looking, and answer the enquiries it brings in, so your educators can stay with the children.
Someone who's sat on a kinder committee
I'm Arek Rainczuk, father to Mayan. After a decade photographing families with young children and five years in video production, becoming a father gave me a sector. I already knew this market. I'd spent years working with the parents who were now choosing childcare centres.
Joining the kindergarten committee as a parent, I saw the disconnect first-hand. Centres with beautiful cultures had websites and socials that told a different story, and families were deciding on incomplete information. I founded EEVA to fix that. One sector, one focus, everything built to help the right families find the right centre.
I spent three years on the committee at Mayan's community kinder, a year of it running promotions and enrolments and two as president. He's at prep now, and I've stayed on as a general member, keeping my finger on what families care about and how centres work behind the scenes. I direct every project personally. WWCC-cleared, $10 million public liability insured. I trained in molecular biology before I picked up a camera, so I like to check what's working rather than guess.
Who shows up at your centre
Every person on this team is a parent. Our own children are in childcare, at kinder and at school right now.
Arek
Founder, strategist, photographer
Arek founded EEVA and directs every project personally, handling strategy, photography and creative direction. A background in molecular biology and ten years photographing young families taught him to look for the real moment, not the posed one.
Sam
Lead videographer
Sam is EEVA's lead videographer, based in Melbourne, and a father to Zac and Jake. Zac started school this year and Jake started kinder. Sam spends his days capturing the real moments behind the stories centres want to tell, and his evenings tinkering with 3D printers and building things with the boys. Being a dad keeps the work grounded.
Nick
Video editor
Nick edits every EEVA film. He's a father to two young daughters, Sky and Lucy. Lucy is in childcare right now, and every afternoon pickup reminds him how much care goes into what centres do. That connection shapes the work. When he's not in the edit suite, he's usually at the beach with the girls.
Jem
Platform and systems
Jem builds and maintains the systems that keep enquiries moving, from the moment a family finds a centre online to the tour booking and follow-up. He holds a Bachelor's in Education and has spent years helping learning centres automate their processes and strengthen their marketing. He's a father to Brea, who just turned one and keeps life full of energy. Based in the Philippines, he works remotely as part of the EEVA team.
Every on-site crew member holds a current Working With Children Check and is covered by $10 million public liability insurance.
Why EEVA, not a general agency
Why centres pick a specialist over a generalist who happens to be free that week.
We only work with early childhood education. No restaurants, no gyms, no dental clinics. That means we understand your regulations, your families and your world without a learning curve, and it shows in the first conversation. We also start from a different goal than most agencies: quality of enrolment, not quantity of enquiries. Our job is to help you attract families who belong, not to flood your inbox with tyre-kickers.
We handle the planning, the paperwork, the filming and the follow-up, so very little lands on your team. And it stays personal: we're a small team, and Arek directs every project.
Compliance built in
WWCC-cleared crews, child-safe policies, consent workflows and risk assessments are part of every engagement, not an afterthought. The full framework is below.
Video and follow-up together
The photos and video that make families want to visit, and the system that answers every enquiry they bring in, from one team.
Our compliance and child-safety framework
Every engagement follows this framework. No exceptions.
Child-safe filming protocol
Every shoot is scheduled with the centre director to protect ratios and routines. A centre staff member accompanies our crew at all times. Equipment is secured and evacuation routes stay clear to meet National Quality Standard requirements.
Consent workflow
Plain-English forms specify the project name, filming dates and intended use of footage. Only children with signed consent appear in an identifiable way, and parents may withdraw consent at any time before publication.
Privacy and data storage
Raw footage is kept on EEVA's password-protected storage in Victoria, open only to Arek and approved editors under confidentiality agreements. It's kept for up to 24 months after delivery unless you ask for it sooner, then permanently destroyed and confirmed to you in writing. Any later use needs fresh written approval.
Working With Children compliance
Every crew member holds a current Working With Children Check (VIC/NSW) or Blue Card (QLD), verified before arrival. For interstate shoots we obtain the relevant clearance to meet each state's legal standard.
Our promise
EEVA puts children's safety, privacy and dignity first. We work only with cleared crew, film with informed parental consent, protect every frame of footage, and meet or exceed VIC, NSW and QLD child-safety requirements on every project.
You can request our full compliance pack, including risk assessment templates, parent communication letters, child-safe policy and data-handling guidelines, before any engagement.
