About Kindalin Early Childhood Learning Centre - Frenchs Forest

Right in the heart of Frenchs Forest, this fresh and modern child care centre offers care for children aged from 6 weeks to 5 years of age. The two storey centre has shady outdoor play areas for the children, with a forest feel and lots of room to explore.

The children can enjoy a huge sandpit, numerous cubby houses, a creek with water to play in, and a child friendly vegetable garden. The centre is on a quiet street behind Warringah Road, and is just minutes away from Allambie Heights Public School.

With over 30 years of experience, Kindalin aims to provide every child with a stimulating and challenging environment in which to grow and learn. The provision of an open learning environment and exploratory creative programs enhance each child’s individuality and ability to develop to their full potential.

The Kindalin philosophy and curriculum are based on years of experience and up-to-date early childhood research which recognises the importance of children’s active, hands on involvement in their learning.

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.

I absolutely love Kindalin. I am now in my 7th year of having a child there and it is like coming home every time you walk through the door. The environment is warm and welcoming and the staff are professional, passionate and kind.

About the curriculum

About the curriculum

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.

Both of my children attend Kindalin and the centre facilities, programs, food are all great and the staff are phenomenal. My kids are both very happy at the centre and have been doing so well there. Regularly (and highly) recommend Kindalin to anyone looking for a daycare in the area without hesitation.

Cannot fault Kindalin Frenchs Forest! My daughter started there as a baby and is now in the transition to Kindergarten program, and my son has just started in the babies room. Both kids love going and I know they are well loved and cared for during their time there. My husband and I have so much confidence in the staff and their care for the kids, knowing they don’t treat our kids as numbers, but as little humans with their own personalities. The curriculum goes above and beyond and I know my children’s learning journey is well supported. And they have so much fun doing it! We are known as a family by the staff (even ones not in our children’s room). There is very limited staff turn over; with a lot of the staff caring for my daughter at 12 months, now still caring for her at 4.5 years. We love Kindalin and have recommended it to so many people we know :)

We have had just finished our 5 year chapter at Kindalin Frenchs Forest and couldn’t recommend it more. Our children always felt safe and cared for. The staff are warm and engaging. The learning environment is play based and still very structured. Thanks to Ashlee and all the other wonderful educators for all you do!
