Thank you Kindalin Kellyville Ridge for providing a fun, safe, caring, nurturing and wonderful learning environment for our daughter. What a beautiful environment for our children to thrive in with quality, well maintained facilities.

Angela - Parent

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.

• The Music Man – Greg the Music Man has been visiting Kindalin for over 10 years and shares his beautiful melodies, singing all-time classic songs and nursery rhymes with the children.

• Soccer Pat  - Pat visits Kindalin on a monthly basis to continue his soccer skills activities with the children, providing them with the opportunity to engage in gross motor skill activities.

• Art with Miss Maree - Maree Sproats from Dural Art Studio runs her art classes with the Wonderful Wombats at Kindalin each Term. Children learn about interpretations, textures and visual arts in the most interesting ways!

• Laurel the Librarian - Miss Laurel visits Kindalin to read a selection of stories to the Wonderful Wombats as part of the Kindalin Reading Challenge.

• Jingle Jam - Jingle Jam is a specialist music program. Vanessa from Jingle Jam provides musical experiences which are educational and foster a love for music and movement.

• Community worker visits – During Community Worker focuses throughout the year, community members and parents of different professions chat with the children about their job in the community, including firefighters, nurses, policemen and more. 

• Educational programs – Throughout the year, children have educational experiences with Government programs and other companies, including Binwise recycling program, SmartDental dental hygiene presentation and more.

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.
