KU Bilya Gulyangarri goes beyond childcare. We create a safe and nurturing environment where childhood is celebrated.
We are proud of our longstanding reputation within the local community of providing inclusive education and care tailored to each child’s needs in a family-focussed and supportive way.
Our highly experienced and dedicated teachers and educators build strong, trusting relationships with each child, fostering a sense of belonging and confidence.
Bilya Gulyangarri, meaning “place of laughing children” in Dharug language, offers a bright and inviting indoor environment and expansive playground shaded by majestic gum trees.
When children play and explore, their imagination and curiosity are sparked – they enjoy learning and are inspired to continue learning more.
Our play-based program intentionally provides a wide range of engaging opportunities and activities based on the Early Years Learning Framework.
We engage with our local Indigenous Community through cultural experiences and relationships with local Elders, developing children’s understanding of Aboriginal Culture and Country. We also foster an appreciation for the natural environment through enriching experiences in our large outdoor area.
KU Bilya Gulyangarri has been independently assessed by the NSW Department of Education and are proud to be rated as Exceeding the National Quality Standard.
We believe that the positive interactions children have with our staff are the most important component of our high-quality program. Our team of teachers and educators are qualified, experienced, caring and motivated.
Our staff undergo continuous professional development, staying at the forefront of early childhood education.
