Kindalin Cherrybrook Village is a child care centre for children aged from 6 weeks to five years old, from 7:30 am - 6:00 pm. The two rooms offer a calm and intimate learning environment for the little ones, while the older children’s room is full of fun activities to help them prepare for their next steps at school. The centre has been running since 1990, and is well established within the local community.
The children love the large leafy outdoor play area, where they can dig in the sandpit, play on the swing, explore the climbing equipment, and enjoy imaginative play in the cubby house.
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.
The centre is conveniently located next to Cherrybrook Village, and is just minutes away from John Purchase Public School and Cherrybrook Public School.
At Kindalin, children are cared for in an environment that is both stimulating and challenging. The seven core beliefs of the centre’s philosophy are:
- Partnerships between the children, families and educators.
- Environments should be both positive and nurturing, seeing children as individuals who are competent and capable learners.
- Active Learning is encouraged as children explore their surroundings and interact with others.
- Family support is offered where parents take an active role in their child’s programming. All cultures are celebrated and valued.
- Community involvement is encouraged, visiting and engaging with other groups and spaces within the local area.
- Team Culture where educators are respected individually as well as working within a professional group that encourages development and reflection.
- Sustainability as part of the culture and curriculum, to teach children to learn and respect the environment.
