Kindy Cottage

A genuine childcare centre for 5 months to 5 years old children

More than just a childcare centre, we are an extension of your child’s home. With child-centred learning and stimulating activities, we strive to give your children the best possible care and education that we can provide.

  • “Children have real understanding only of that which they invent themselves.”

    Our teachers

  • “Let the child be the scriptwriter, the director and the actor in his own play.”

    OUR FEES

  • “Our task is to help children communicate with the world using all their potential, strengths and languages, and to overcome any obstacle presented by our culture.”

    OUR PHILOSOPHY

  • “If children feel safe, they can take risks, ask questions, make mistakes, learn to trust, share their feelings, and grow.”

Creating an environment where children thrive.

With an experienced team of qualified early childhood teachers, who love what they do, we provide exciting learning opportunities for your child. At larger daycare centres, kids can find themselves lost in the crowd, unable to fully express themselves among the larger personalities. As a boutique North Shore centre, our low child-to-teacher ratio means we get to know each and every child well!
