Overview

KU Greenwood 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 experienced and dedicated teachers and educators build strong, trusting relationships with each child, fostering a sense of belonging and confidence.

Conveniently located in the heart of North Sydney, KU Greenwood is a small long day care service that strives to make each child feel secure, supported and cherished.

About this service

Our program and approach

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.

KU Greenwood aims to create a culture of teaching and learning where children’s learning is enriched through the power of relationships, they are the foundation of our curriculum. Warm, nurturing and attuned interactions are the starting point. The service has a deliberate intention to move slowly, to engage with children in unhurried moments utilising approaches such as the Circle of Security and Marte Meo.

We cannot express enough gratitude to the incredible team at KU greenwood plaza child care, for their unwavering support and care looking after our boy for the past two years.The change we made in moving our son to KU greenwood is one we still remember fondly to this day. Coming from a different place when every morning was a struggle to say goodbye, KU Greenwood quickly became a second home that our boy continued to adore.As parents, there is nothing more we'd wish for other than knowing our child is happy and thriving in an environment where he feels safe, loved, and supported.Thank you all once again for everything. We are forever grateful.Attached is photo of the adorable mug you made for our son as a parting gift. It's truly thoughtful and cute.Warm regards,Winna & Louis

KU Greenwood is a very special daycare centre. We were fortunate to have our two kids attend from when they were about 10 months old. The carers are exceptionally warm and professional and made our kids feel part of the KU family. The centre is very small which means the carers really get to know the kids personally. Management are wonderful too, and in the 3 years we were with the centre there was virtually no staff turnover. We could not have asked for a better environment for our kids to thrive. We will greatly miss the wonderful team at KU Greenwood.

I regularly pick up my granddaughter from the baby section of KU Greenwood where she has been since 4months of age. There is an amazing but necessary bond between carers, baby and family and I am so impressed with the level of care, safety and communication, in what has been a really challenging COVID year.The centre is small and personable, with a new shaded outdoor play area. The educators are consistent, positive and communicative and the children are happy in a calm environment.Highly recommended....

We have sent our daughter to KU Greenwood for the last 12 months since she was 4 months old! We could not recommend this day-care more. The staff have formed such a special bond with her - every time we see her at KU she is content, smiling and/or playing. You don't want anything else other than to leave your young babies/children in reliable and loving hands that genuinely care about child. The staff go above and beyond, the outdoor area is huge with lots to do, the food is healthy/variety, our daughter sleeps well and the learning/activities are great! There are no faults!!!
