KU Greenwich goes beyond childcare. We create a safe and welcoming 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.
KU Greenwich is a magical, supportive place for learning and development, where our nurturing approach and vibrant outdoor area inspire curiosity and growth.
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.
Our focus on wellbeing—social, emotional and physical—shines through activities like music and movement, yoga and nature exploration. This enables children to be engaged and inspired by their surroundings and encourages them to take risks and thrive in their learning journey.
KU Greenwich 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.
