KU Kahibah Road goes beyond childcare. We create a safe and nurturing environment where childhood is celebrated.
We are proud of our longstanding reputation within the Highfields community of providing rich education and care tailored to each child’s needs in a family-focussed and supportive way.
Our highly experienced and dedicated teachers and educators build strong, trusting relationships with each child, fostering a sense of belonging and confidence.
Situated in a tranquil parkland setting, KU Kahibah Road has a wonderful, inclusive community feel and features spacious and well-equipped indoor and outdoor play areas.
When children play and explore, their imagination and curiosity are sparked – they enjoy learning and are inspired to continue learning more.
Our play-based program intentionally provides a wide range of engaging opportunities and activities based on the Early Years Learning Framework.
We place emphasis on relationships and wellbeing, believing that relationships built on mutual respect and understanding creates a foundation for emotional intelligence – the ability to recognise and regulate emotions, and identify and respond appropriately to the emotions of others.
KU Kahibah Road has been independently assessed by the NSW Department of Education, and are proud to be rated as Meeting the National Quality Standard.
We believe that the positive interactions children have with our staff are the most important component of our high quality program. Our team of teachers and educators are qualified, experienced, caring and motivated.
Our staff undergo continuous professional development, staying at the forefront of early childhood education.
