KU Village Green 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.
Overlooking the expansive Village Green parklands in Bella Vista, our light and airy indoor and outdoor play areas offer children wonderful opportunities to explore and learn.
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 specialise in relationships and attachment, and foster this through consistent staff, flexible routines and supportive environments. Strong, secure relationships equip children with a sense of belonging and self-worth, laying the foundation for healthy relationships throughout life.
KU Village Green 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.
