About Kids Cottage Early Learning

Welcome to Kids Cottage Early Learning. 

Kids Cottage Early Learning is a family owned and operated, boutique centre set in the beautful rural setting of Dural. We specialise in providing high quality programs, designed for children aged from 18 months to 6 years.

We strive to bring children a unique early learning experience. One that fosters their sense of wonder and sparks are curiosity for learning, whilst in a warm home-like environment.

Our Educational program approach of a play-based curriculum strongly supports the Belonging, Being and Becoming of each child. We value the learning that happens during play and therefore seek to create an environment that extends children’s interests, gives children time to explore in many ways, and encourages the learning dispositions of persistence, curiosity, problem solving and collaboration.

Our school readiness program is holistic, meaning that we support not only children's academic development but also social, emotional and physical development. We provide the children with many oppurtunies to scaffold their learning in a way that is meaningful to them. In addition to this, we run a skills-based literacy program that lays a solid foundation in preparation for children to learn and read.

Our daughter started at The Kids Cottage in January, and as parents of a child who had never been to childcare or preschool before, we couldn’t have hoped for a better experience. From the very beginning, she has absolutely loved her new learning environment. The centre has a warm, intimate feel that made the transition so much easier. The team encourages learning through play, promotes independence, and makes the most of outdoor play—which our daughter especially enjoys. The beautiful outdoor area is truly a gem and a standout feature of the centre. We’ve found the educators to be consistent, patient, and incredibly caring. The indoor spaces are always neat, tidy, and thoughtfully arranged to support the children’s development. A heartfelt thank you to Belinda and her lovely team for the care and attention they’ve given our daughter. We feel lucky to be part of such a nurturing and inspiring community.

Kids Cottage has been a wonderful place for our son since needing to change centres pretty quickly late last year. Belinda was able to get us a place right away, and we knew when we visited that it was the right place for him. The whole team were so supportive with helping our son settle, and now he loves the place so much he asks to go to daycare! Would highly recommend.
