We were able to get our son in for the 2024 class and the transformation that we saw in him with the guidance of some very hard working educators was incredible, not just academically but socially as well. He had dreaded his more traditional day-care but would ask every morning if it was a 'kindy day' and was always keen to go. The community was very welcoming with well run social programmes and we can highly recommend this centre.

My daughter attended Tingalpa C&K this year in Class B and it was the best decision we ever made! She has thrived thanks to the amazing teachers, support team and families who all make the kindy an amazing environment for the kids, an engaging combination of learning and fun. She is always excited to go to kindy, a testament to how much she enjoys her time there. The communication from our teacher and the kindy has been excellent - it's always a pleasure discovering the imaginative activities the kids have been up to! I would highly recommend Tingalpa C&K to families, you'll feel the good vibes as soon as you walk through the door.

Tingalpa Kindergarten is a truly special place for children to learn, grow, and thrive. As a parent-run, not-for-profit kindy, it offers a unique, supportive environment where families are genuinely involved in shaping their child’s early education experience. The educators are exceptional—dedicated, nurturing, and highly skilled. They create a warm and welcoming atmosphere where children feel safe and excited to explore. The facilities are fantastic, with a large outdoor and indoor play area that fosters a love of nature and active play. My daughter always comes home brimming with stories about her days here and the wonderful things they’ve learned. If you’re looking for a kindy that truly puts the needs of children and families first, Tingalpa Community Kindergarten is a gem. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Fabulous centre for our little boy. He loves going to kindy! Such wonderful teachers and beautiful play spaces for the children. Planning on sending younger siblings as well.

One of the great distinctions of Tingalpa Kindergarten is that they deliberately keep their classroom group sizes small - maximising the care and attention they can give to our wonderful children. If you are considering which kindergarten to choose, why not consider them? Your kids will be forever grateful

My son has been at this kindy for over 6 months now, and I am absolutely taken back by what a wonderful kindergarten it is. I always chose a kindy facility based on the educators. When I heard that their educator had been there for over 30 years, I was sold. It was very difficult for me to imagine my son in another person's care, but Mrs Lucy, Miss Anita, and Mrs Quinn took all my worries away. My son can't wait to go to this kindy, which is very different to what I had experienced in the past with other centres. The effort Mrs Lucy goes to in writing detailed feedback on your child, plus weekly-fortnightly updates on what the kids have learnt at the kindy, shows her passion for the industry of early childhood learning. The space is also worth mentioning - a beautiful open space and wonderful garden for the kids to play in. If you want a loving and warm environment with a focus on school readiness, please look no further than c and k tingalpa!

This Kindy is wonderful. We sent our oldest child here when we lived at Hemmant and now we are sending our younger child here even though we have moved to Manly and it's not so close. The teachers are wonderful. It is all a play-based programme. The room and play area out the back are just perfect -- lots of natural wood and so many little hideaway spots to explore in the play garden out the back. You really need to go and visit this kindy and see it for yourself -- the street view doesn't do it justice. Oh, and the kids both love it.
