Kindalin Castle Hill is just beautiful. Between the awesome team of educators giving you the same warm welcome every time and the amazing open plan centre FULL of so much learning, I find so much comfort in knowing that every child there feels connected, inspired and safe. The children have so much pride in seeing their artwork on the walls and you see the genuine connection and trust they have with their educators. I love that they have the same educators in the same rooms every day, and all permanent staff too, children need that consistency which they are getting at Castle Hill.<br><br>Also so excited to see their preschool children right into their preschool program right now. An awesome community over at Kindalin Castle Hill!

About Kindalin Early Childhood Learning Centre - Castle Hill

Kindalin Castle Hill is a child care centre for children aged up to 5 years. With four spacious rooms. The centre is open from 7:00 am - 6:30 pm and has been running since 2008.

Outside in the rooftop playgrounds, the children enjoy sandpits, obstacle courses and shady spaces for free play. There’s even a water misting system to keep everyone cool on a warm day. Sustainability is a focus at this centre, and the children love to lend a hand with the vegetable garden.

With over 35 years of experience, Kindalin is a family owned and operated buisness. We provide every child with a stimulating and challenging environment in which to grow and learn. 

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 are 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

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.

I believe every child has a right to grow and learn in a safe and stimulating environment.

Health & nutrition

Health & nutrition

All meals and snacks are provided and prepared in-house at Kindalin Castle Hill. The menu was designed in collaboration with dietitian Fiona Kupresanin, and offers a nutritious selection of food.

The centre uses low fat and reduced salt ingredients, wholemeal and wholegrain foods, a range of vegetables and plenty of low-GI foods.

All dietary needs are catered for, including vegetarian options, and alternatives for children who are gluten-intolerant or have allergies.

The educators at Kindalin Castle Hill use meal and snack time as another educational opportunity for the children. Educators promote self-help skills as the children serve their own fruit and veggies from the platters, and make decisions for themselves as to what they would like to eat.

It is also a great time to discuss healthy eating and trying new foods. For the younger children, Educators promote sensory exploration as they taste and touch their food.

Throughout the year the children learn about healthy eating, such as what are 'always' and 'sometimes' foods. This occurs as part of the curriculum, including projects, food and cooking demonstrations, visitors to the centre and presentations from external organisations.

Parent communication and involvement

Parent communication and involvement

The centre uses a free communication tool for parents. The Kindalin app provides real-time updates for parents across key areas, including information about their children’s:

  • Daily activities
  • Meal and snack menu
  • Photos from the day
  • Important parent communication
