About Kindalin Early Childhood Learning Centre - Frenchs Forest

Right in the heart of Frenchs Forest, this fresh and modern child care centre offers care for children aged from 6 weeks to 5 years of age. The two storey centre has shady outdoor play areas for the children, with a forest feel and lots of room to explore.

The children can enjoy a huge sandpit, numerous cubby houses, a creek with water to play in, and a child friendly vegetable garden. The centre is on a quiet street behind Warringah Road, and is just minutes away from Allambie Heights Public School.

With over 30 years of experience, Kindalin aims to provide every child with a stimulating and challenging environment in which to grow and learn. The provision of an open learning environment and exploratory creative programs enhance each child’s individuality and ability to develop to their full potential.

The Kindalin philosophy and curriculum are based on years of experience and up-to-date early childhood research which recognises the importance of children’s active, hands on involvement in their learning.

At Kindalin, children are cared for in an environment that is both stimulating and challenging. The seven core beliefs of the centre’s philosophy are: 

Partnerships between the children, families and educators.

Environments should be both positive and nurturing, seeing children as individuals who are competent and capable learners.

Active Learning is encouraged as children explore their surroundings and interact with others. 

Family Support is offered where parents take an active role in their child’s programming. All cultures are celebrated and valued.

Community Involvement is encouraged, visiting and engaging with other groups and spaces within the local area. 

Team Culture where educators are respected individually as well as working within a professional group that encourages development and reflection. 

Sustainability as part of the culture and curriculum, to teach children to learn and respect the environment.

About the curriculum

About the curriculum

10 weeks - 2.5 years

Babies use their senses to begin to investigate their environment. As they get older, they start to show more interest in moving objects, colourful mobiles and gentle movement with an educator. Older babies become reliant on the familiar adults that care for them. They become more inquisitive about how the world works and will interact with other children or objects in their space.
