Our vision is to lead and inspire young children’s learning for life. We enrich the lives of more than 11,000 children and families each year through our preschools, kindergartens, long day care services, family programs, and early childhood inclusion and allied health services services across NSW, Victoria and the ACT.
Such is KU’s expertise and reputation, that we also operate inclusion programs on behalf of the Commonwealth and State Governments, and provide professional services to the early childhood sector, corporate sector and wider community.
