SDN Riverwood is a 60-place centre offering early childhood education and child care for a diverse community of children and families in south-western Sydney.
Our team of qualified educators come from a variety of cultural backgrounds and many are bilingual. Staff support the many different home languages and cultures of children who attend our centre, while also helping them to develop English language skills and encouraging an understanding of other cultures.
The spacious, well-equipped centre is a place for your child to explore, discover and learn about the world they live in. The Riverwood community also provides a positive learning environment and we often take the children to visit the library and local parks, and together we celebrate cultural events such as the Lunar�New Year. We have an ongoing commitment to improving the quality of life for children and their families, and we keep this commitment at the forefront of our connection with the Riverwood community.�You can learn more about our educational program�here.
Our families say...
�SDN Riverwood is a warm, encouraging, interesting environment for my child to learn, grow, play and interact with others.�
�I have the undivided attention of staff when I share a concern and be sure of their prompt attention as well as being kept informed of how it is going. I love the opportunity to speak to my child�s key-educator at pick up time.�
Preschool Fee Relief
The NSW Government is providing up to $2110 in fee relief for preschool aged children who are enrolled in the preschool program at SDN Children’s Services from 2023. If your child will be 4 on or before 31 July 2023, this additional funding could mean up to $40 a week in fee relief to your family, on top of the existing child care subsidy.
About SDN Children's Services
We are a not-for-profit organisation that has been providing quality early childhood education, care, children's therapies and family support since 1905.
Our purpose is to promote and enhance children’s wellbeing, learning and development in inclusive environments; and our vision is for an equitable world where all children thrive.
At SDN, your child is supported by our village.
The SDN village is a caring, inclusive, and supportive community, where your child is the centre of everything we do. We give them the freedom to invent, create, explore, and express their true selves, every day. A place where they can use their voices. And when they do, we listen.
We see the whole child and know that children thrive when we support them to grow caring hearts, healthy bodies, and curious minds.
