I think this is the best daycare in the area. Very busy, hard to find all days but the days allocated is brilliant. My son had Suzie & Emma as teacher for my son. They both are equally amazing, caring and giving education. My son has been almost 4 years and seen him grown really well. Being vegetarian, we also liked the crafted menu for breakfast, lunch and snack time which is tasty, healthy & children love it. Admin staff too are cooperative and good. Everyone, have played their role well & I wish this daycare more further success in the future too. Kudos to whole team

About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum

“Let the child be the scriptwriter, director and the actor in their own play” - Magda Gerber

Nursery Space: 6 weeks – 2 years

Learning starts from before birth, and our Educators have created a welcoming and nurturing nursery environment where each baby feels safe to explore and discover new things - through their senses, their communication and cues (body language, facial expression and sounds) and by experimenting. On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of play, water play, music time, story time and more. Every day provides a brand new, exciting adventure for our babies to support their development, learning and wellbeing!

Toddler Space: 2 - 3 years

Our teachers and educators encourage the children to learn through play to help enhance their sensory-motor development. This happens through carefully planned music, dance, games and reading experiences.

On any given day the Toddler children can be seen developing their numeracy by building a tower, sorting objects, pointing and identifying shapes and patterns and participating in counting songs and games.

Children in our toddler space are encouraged to participate in group play. Group play is important as it helps our toddlers develop important social skills such as, turn taking, developing self confidence and emotional self regulation. Our team helps children through talking, planning and role modelling.

Preschool Space: 3 – 6 years

Preschool is a unique time for learning with peers and developing skills for later learning including confidence and curiosity, important skills for starting school. Our play-based program encourages active engagement in learning and supports a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity.

The oral language supports literacy learning. A child’s oral language ability is the best predictor for later success in learning to read and write. Hearing the sounds within a language is the first critical step for all literacy learning. Our team supports our Preschool children's development by engaging in rich discussions, introducing new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations, as well as singing, playing games, and reading with the children daily.

Throughout the Preschool year, children use their language to share ideas, ask questions, express themselves, and connect with peers and adults in social settings.

Social-emotional skills, including the ability to self-regulate emotions, is supported through group learning environments. Our team supports each child’s social and emotional development by labelling and talking about emotions and supporting appropriate responses as together, they engage in new and challenging situations. Lastly, ensuring that all children are ready for the ‘big school’ by preparing them for all that ‘big school’ has to offer.

Health and Nutrition

Health and Nutrition

Our centre chef prepares and cooks healthy and nutritious meals daily, catering to the unique dietary requirements of every child. We believe that by encouraging active participation (such as growing their own fruit and vegetables, preparing, and finally cooking!) children learn to appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating.

Our centre offers children nutrient-rich, unprocessed, and seasonal whole foods – created to delight the fussiest eaters.

Hi, my name is Rachel and I am the Centre Manager here at Kindy Patch Maryland. I started my early learning career as a trainee at Kindy Patch Maryland in 2017 then completed my Cert III and my Diploma. I was appointed assistant manager in 2022 and then stepped up as the centre manager in 2023.

During my years of working in the sector, I have never failed to return home fulfilled, happy, and joyful, as this sector is so rewarding. There is nothing like seeing each child grow into a beautiful little person and building strong relationships with all the families.


At our centre, children develop their curiosity, problem-solving, confidence, and resilience. We carefully plan play-based learning experiences around their interests and learning goals. Over time, you will see your child develop abilities such as language, motor movement, memory, concentration, and social relationships by partaking in these experiences. Kindy Patch Maryland offers children a home away from home feel, we have dedicated staff who are committed to helping your child be the best that they can be! Our natural learning environments offer endless opportunities for learning and laughter.

We understand that starting at a new centre can be overwhelming and that is why from the very first enquiry, we make sure that we address all your questions one by one.

My daughter has been attending kindy patch Maryland for the past 4 years, we moved houses & relocated to a daycare closer to home but she loved it so much that we kept her in 1 day a week. We especially love her educator Susie, who is amazing with the kids. We will be sad to leave at the end of the year when we move onto kindergarten!
