KU Milperra provides a welcoming, home-like environment where the uniqueness of each child and family are recognised and respected.

About this service

Our program and approach

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 have a special interest in building healthy minds and supporting children to develop life skills such as resilience, social skills, mindfulness and strategies to manage challenges and difficulties they may face.

Maximise your Start Strong fee relief at KU

This service is a recipient of funding under the NSW Department of Education’s Start Strong for Community Preschools program and fee relief is available for families of eligible children. This program provides fee relief funding of up to $4,347 per eligible child to deliver affordable quality preschool education for 3 to 5-year-old children.

Children from priority cohorts—including Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander backgrounds, families holding a Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card, or those with disability or additional needs—are eligible for even lower fees (equity fee).

Families can receive fee relief for 15 hours per week (2 days at KU). However, this relief can only be applied to one service. If you’ve declared it elsewhere, fees without Start Strong fee relief will apply.

Contact the service today to discuss the fee that applies to you to maximise your Start Strong fee relief funding.

Family testimonials

“

KU Milperra Preschool parent

“I’ve worked in child care for fifteen years and I was weary to where my children would go. I have a high standard and KU Milperra smashes those expectations I had. From the staff, to the children, the activities, incursions and adaptive programs to suit my sons needs, it’s amazing! I would recommend everyone to attend there, I’ve never been happier.”

“

KU Milperra Preschool parent

“The educators at KU are so wonderful and my son loves attending this preschool. At his previous childcare he would cry so much at drop off. The educators are so knowledgeable and accommodating for my son’s additional needs and I have never felt so safe having my son at any other place. We are truly blessed to have found such an amazing preschool.”

“

We had all our kids attended this preschool. Our youngest child is 6 years apart. It just shows that the centre has left an everlasting wonderful learning experience for our kids and we were more than happy to enrol our youngest one back here. The staff are wonderful and nurturing, Stacey the Director is a professional and does her job so well. We would highly recommend KU Milperra in a heartbeat. A wonderful place to begin a child journey into learning and growing.

I absolutely feel privileged to write an honest review about the amazing childcare services that my nonverbal Autistic child receives at KU Milperra School.Through my words, I hope if you are a Parent, Carer , and Grand Parents of an Autistic child will gain a deeper understanding , the strength, support, and resilience of KU Milperra educators who have really helped parents like us navigate the unpredictable, tireless, and never-ending journey of raising an autistic child.Exactly last year around at this time , I met with a beautiful soul named Stacey Gabrych Director of KU Milperra regarding the possibility of having my special needs child enrolled at their centre because my experience with the previous child care centre was horrendous and due to the way my child got treated and neglected at the centre , I had no option but to quit their child care services immediately.However, a worried and a teary mother with positive hopes met Stacey Gabrych Director who on her very first meeting and tour of the centre welcomed us with open hearts ,We immediately felt that our child would not be subject to any kind of discrimination due to her special needs. We patiently waited for our Child enrolment at the start of this year and the good part is that ever since my child got enrolled, she has grown and thrived under the positive influence of these amazing KU Milperra educators , in a nutshell it’s a beautiful successful journey. There is a famous saying success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome.My Child over the past few months have learned to live in her moments, her engagement with other people is accepted, her understanding to simple instructions has phenomenally grown ,meltdowns have reduced to a larger extent , spontaneous laughter’s/cuddles/ hugs have increased and more importantly my child enters this facility with a smile and exit the door with a smile. We as Autistic Parents don’t need miracle cures or random platitudes but just ask us “ Is there any anything we can do?” This is exactly how the Director and Educators at KU Milperra makes us feel when they look forward and open their hearts to welcome our child. They have taken precautionary measures to ensure that my Child does not get hurt because she lacks awareness of self-danger activities due to autism. We are regularly kept abreast with all necessary key information , activities, and individual learning plan via Story Park app.Last but not the least, We are forever grateful to the entire KU Milperra School team for taking extra care and providing our child a lovely home away from home. We truly are amazed at how far our child has grown since she has come under Stacey’s , Maya, and other Educator’s tutelage, and We are forever grateful for their unwavering belief and support in enhancing our child’s own potential.We would highly recommend this amazing preschool to other special needs children learning, growth, care, and reinforcement of self-belief in our local community and other social networks.Once again, a big thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have members of my family attend the service. It's a wonderful place for the children to learn and grow. The staff are so very friendly, patient and helpful. I love how we are informed about the children's day, as staff take time to talk to us individually about the children's day. They are very inclusive of all the children who attend the Preschool. I would recommend this Preschool to anyone.

Milperra KU is a fantastic centre for all children! For any parent that has been turned away from other childcares for children with additional needs, Milperra KU is the childcare for your family. The educators, especially Stacey, Aida and Deanne ensure our children are well looked after, fed and engaging with learning activities. It is amazing to see my son settled and actually happy in this centre, and they do everything to cater to your child’s interests. Centre is always clean, and set up with lovely activities for the day. They also take children’s allergies seriously so your child is in the best of hands. Stacey especially listens to your concerns and does her best to work with any issues. Educators are friendly and committed. Highly recommended!

My son joined KU Milperra this year and I am so happy that I have taken such a decision. I can notice lot of progress in his social behaviors plus improvement in his academic skills and communication.

The educators are always very welcoming, and they go above and beyond for the kids in the center. The team handle all matters very professionally and as a parent I always feel respected.

At their center childhood is celebrated. When they play and explore, children's imagination and curiosity are sparked - they enjoy learning, and are inspired to continue learning more.their child-centered, play-based program includes a wide range of intentional learning experiences and reflects best practice, drawn from knowledge of early childhood educational philosophies including Montesorri, Reggio Emilia, Circle of Security, and Marte Meo.They aim to develop the potential of each individual child through the practice of relationships in a range of learning areas, equipping each child with ‘skills for life’.They believe that each child is a unique individual, developing in their own way and in their own time. Their role as educators is to provide an inclusive, nurturing, and supportive environment where each child comfortably belongs, and to encourage experiences that enhance each child’s journey towards becoming their own selves.
