SDN Mosman provides quality early childhood education and child care for 56 children per day aged 6 weeks to school age, in the beautiful Lower North Shore suburb of Mosman. The centre is part of SDN Children's Services, which is a not for profit organisation.
SDN Mosman has a real feel of being 'a home away from home'. Through a child-led approach, all learning opportunities are tailored to the child’s unique interests and strengths.
The centre is known as a green oasis, as the outdoor area is where the children can embark on their daily adventures. The safe environments are designed for children to run, jump and play. Children are encouraged to use their imagination and invent games while learning about the world at their own pace and developing their social skills.
The rooms are well-resourced, with many age-appropriate educational toys and equipment. The children can explore various activities such as spaces for creating art, a nature corner, reading, painting, puzzles and much more.
We also offer extracurricular programs such as music class and yoga.
We have an in-house chef who prepares fresh and nutritional meals daily.
We develop a strong sense of community through local walks and inviting the community into our centre. Exciting community excursions include the library, cafes, parks, museums and Taronga Zoo. We encourage families and grandparents to join our excursions too, as well as to come together for special centre events throughout the year.
We work in partnership with families to set goals for your child, and our qualified educators follow each child's interests.
SDN is committed to being a child safe organisation.

Centre philosophy
Centre philosophy
You wouldn’t change your child for the world, but you would change the world for your child. That’s why when we welcome children and families to our SDN village, we create a place where every child belongs.
SDN is not-for-profit. Partnering our diverse range of professionals with families to provide the best learning opportunities is what sets us apart. Together, we create a village so that every day is a chance for your child to thrive.
SDN is a child safe organisation. Our child safe culture is championed at all levels of SDN and is enshrined in our policy framework and our practice. Everything we do is designed to safeguard children, from the physical environments of our centres in which children play and learn through to how we listen to children and promote children’s rights.
At SDN, we are inclusive. We don’t just talk about inclusion, we do it. All our services welcome children from all communities, cultures and needs. Inclusion at SDN is delivered through our spaces, through our communication, through our food, through our educational program; it is inherent in all aspects of our village.
Your child, is supported by our village.

At SDN Mosman, get more than school-ready, get life-ready.
Getting school-ready is a journey. It begins with your child’s very first day at our welcoming early education and care centre and continues with our dedicated preschool program.
Infants and toddlers
We know that the best thing we can do for your infant or toddler is to support them to grow and develop in safe, unhurried, nurturing and challenging environments. Because infants and toddlers are naturally curious, our centre has well-equipped indoor and outdoor areas that will keep your child moving and give them daily opportunities to explore their limits and grow their abilities.
Preschool
Developed by university-trained early childhood teachers, our preschool program focuses on the whole child. Children learn to make friends and work together, while gaining the skills and independence they need to thrive through the big transition to school.
Our preschool program follows an evidence-backed, play-based learning approach. Children have fun and follow their curiosity, while we weave in vital skills and learning outcomes.
SDN uses Australia’s Early Years Learning Framework to explore a diverse curriculum from science to social justice. Our days are predictable but flexible, blending structured and spontaneous learning, free play, movement and quiet time.
Our centre has a transition to school program where our teachers and educators work together with local schools to prepare your child for a smooth transition, and support families through the process.
