KU The Chase 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 experienced and dedicated teachers and educators build strong, trusting relationships with each child, fostering a sense of belonging and confidence.
Located within Roseville Community Hall, KU The Chase features an inviting, naturally lit playroom and wonderful outdoor space where children can delight in the discoveries that every day brings.
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 promoting sustainability by engaging children in activities like gardening and mud kitchen play. We teach children ways to reuse and recycle, instilling a sense of belonging through a shared commitment to the environment.
KU The Chase 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.
