KU Osborne Park goes beyond childcare. We create a safe and nurturing environment where childhood is celebrated.
We are proud of our longstanding reputation within the Lane Cove community of providing rich education and care tailored to each child’s needs in a family-focused 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.
Nestled amongst peaceful bushland surrounds, KU Osborne Park is a warm and inclusive preschool where children can connect with nature, imagine and explore.
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 have a special interest in nature play, which provides children with a range of physical, emotional and developmental benefits. Our large, natural playground and natural bush surroundings offer endless learning opportunities and foster a love for nature.
KU Osborne Park 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.
