SDN Erskineville Long Day Care and Preschool

Welcome to SDN Erskineville

As unique as the community we work in, our centre at Erskineville welcomes children from birth to six years old. We’re a team passionate about providing a safe and encouraging environment for your child to learn, grow, and cultivate a sense of belonging.

Learning through play has an important role at Erskineville. Each child brings with them strengths, capabilities, culture, interests, current knowledge, ideas and experiences. Play enables children to learn from each other, explore each other’s world and the world around them.

Our educators work in partnership with families to identify each child’s strengths and interests, choose teaching strategies, design learning environments, and to connect our service-based learning opportunities with home-based learning. Our team of educators include three University trained Teachers, three TAFE trained Educators and several highly experienced Early Childhood Educators.

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.
