KU Carillon Avenue 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 rich 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.
Our positive and vibrant environment is rich in natural, open-ended resources and spaces for discovery, adventure and exploration.
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.
Since launching our kitchen garden program in 2014, connecting with nature has become integral to our curriculum. Families often cite this and our inviting outdoor spaces as key reasons for joining our community, recognising the importance for children to explore and connect with the natural world.
KU Carillon Avenue 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.
