KU Queanbeyan South goes beyond childcare. We create a safe and nurturing environment where childhood is celebrated.
We are proud of our longstanding reputation within the local 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.
Known for our welcoming, home-like atmosphere, our location on the grounds of Queanbeyan Public School simplifies family logistics and allows us to provide extensive transition to school support.
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.
The program is particularly rich in science and technology, incorporated through coding, smart boards, virtual technology, science experiments and investigation. This allows children to meaningfully explore technology, hypothesise, and investigate the world around them.
KU Queanbeyan South has been independently assessed by the NSW Department of Education, and are proud to be rated as Exceeding 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.
