Kids Cottage Early Learning Centre overview
Welcome to Kids Cottage Early Learning.
Kids Cottage Early Learning is a family owned and operated, boutique centre set in the beautful rural setting of Dural. We specialise in providing high quality programs, designed for children aged from 18 months to 6 years.
We strive to bring children a unique early learning experience. One that fosters their sense of wonder and sparks are curiosity for learning, whilst in a warm home-like environment.
Our Educational program approach of a play-based curriculum strongly supports the Belonging, Being and Becoming of each child. We value the learning that happens during play and therefore seek to create an environment that extends children’s interests, gives children time to explore in many ways, and encourages the learning dispositions of persistence, curiosity, problem solving and collaboration.
Our school readiness program is holistic, meaning that we support not only children's academic development but also social, emotional and physical development. We provide the children with many oppurtunies to scaffold their learning in a way that is meaningful to them. In addition to this, we run a skills-based literacy program that lays a solid foundation in preparation for children to learn and read.

Kids Cottage was my child’s first-ever daycare experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to start. The educators were incredibly warm and welcoming, making the transition smooth and reassuring for both my child and me. Belinda went above and beyond to accommodate us on very short notice, which I truly appreciated. A special mention to Ms. Amy and Ms. Pragati for their kindness, patience, and care—they made such a positive impact on my child’s experience. I’m so grateful for the nurturing environment Kids Cottage provided! Read more

We are incredibly grateful to have found Kids Cottage Early Learning. Belinda and her team are absolutely wonderful! The love, support, and care they provide are beyond what we could have hoped for. They embrace our daughter as their own, and it’s clear how much they genuinely care for the children in their care. Every day, she is excited to go and doesn’t want to leave at pick- up time, which speaks volumes about the nurturing environment they’ve created. The setting feels like home, yet it’s enriched with all the resources and activities to foster her growth. Kids Cottage Early Learning will always have a special place in our hearts, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly. Thank you Susan, Pragati, Belinda, Andrea, and Amy for all that you do to make such a positive impact on our family! Read more
**** Exceptional Early Learning Centre - A Home Away from Home! **** I cannot recommend Kids Cottage Early Learning Centre in Dural highly enough!... **** Exceptional Early Learning Centre - A Home Away from Home! **** I cannot recommend Kids Cottage Early Learning Centre in Dural highly enough! Hands down it is the best early learning centre in The Hills Shire. From the moment I stepped in, I knew this was the perfect place for my children. I love that the centre is situated in a serene location on a very quiet street away from the main road and busy traffic. The staff are not only professional and caring but also incredibly approachable and friendly. Belinda, the director, and her amazing team of educators have created a wonderful community where my children feel like part of a family. The centre is impeccably clean and the atmosphere is always fun and welcoming. The small center size allows for lots of individual attention, ensuring my children are valued and they aren't just another number (as this is what we have experienced at very large centres located in The Hills Shire). My kids absolutely love it here and they never want to leave! We live 25 minutes away from the centre and we happily drive to and from the centre - we can't imagine enrolling our children anywhere else! If you are looking for a wonderful centre for your children, you already know this is the place you need to send them to. Come and check it for yourself and you will know exactly why we love it!
