Enjoy the freedom of nature and space for your child at Kindalin Glenhaven, where their creativity can run wild. Nestled within tranquil leafy surrounds, this child care centre is conveniently located just off the Old Northern Road.
The semi-rural centre is open from 7.00am until 6.30pm and the children love the expansive outdoor play areas. They’re full of trees, sandpits, a huge cubby house, ball games, wheelbarrows, and a natural rock formation that’s popular for water play.
With over 30 years of experience, Kindalin aims to provide every child with a stimulating and challenging environment in which to grow and learn. The provision of an open learning environment and exploratory creative programs enhance each child’s individuality and ability to develop to their full potential.
The Kindalin philosophy and curriculum are based on years of experience and up-to-date early childhood research which recognises the importance of children’s active, hands on involvement in their learning.
Parents at the centre share that they love the home-like feeling of the space, and that it feels like an extension of their own family. Care is available for children from 10 weeks up to 5 years.
At Kindalin Glenhaven, children are cared for in an environment that is both stimulating and challenging. The six core beliefs of the centre’s philosophy are:
