Cherrybrook : Kindalin ~* Early Childhood Learning Centres

Nestled in homely and peaceful surrounds, our colourful Cherrybrook centre has two main rooms, with plenty of nooks for small group learning.

The children are split into two intimate learning groups, the Cuddly Koalas and the Wonderful Wombats. Outside in the leafy yard, there’s a little stage for performance, a covered sandpit and a little creek and rock area, where the hose is a popular addition out on sunny days.

With an older age group, the child-led learning program is very focused on school readiness, socially, emotionally and educationally preparing children for the big step to primary school.

“It gives me great joy to witness each child's journey unfold”

Notes from Cherrybrook parents

Kindalin is such a welcoming, caring, nurturing & fun environment and I couldn’t imagine my children going anywhere else! From the moment my children started at Kindalin I was immensely impressed by the range of activities that my children were exposed to, playing while learning. I truly feel that my son is absolutely ready to start ‘Big School’ because of Kindalin’s Transition to School Program. He has all of the tools he needs to have the best start possible. Thank you to all of the amazing dedicated staff, you are truly remarkable people.

We’d like to take this opportunity to commend you on the Wombats graduation. Ben attended with George’s sister and grandmother. He was incredibly impressed at the effort you and your staff put into the event, as well as the preparation of the children. The hall was an ideal venue, the length well-considered and the events perfectly pitched to make it fun for kids and parents. Ben commented that the songs were well chosen and it was lovely to see the kids have a chance to express themselves individually. George has been wearing his firetruck nonstop for over a week now!

George was very proud at receiving his certificate and all of us have enjoyed reading the graduation book. That must have taken you a lot of time and effort. Please know it is well-appreciated, although it made both Ben and I a little teary!

As we near the end of our Kindalin experience, we continue to feel very blessed that George has had such excellent care from day one. We couldn’t have asked for a better centre or more caring, creative and responsible teachers. As working parents we sometimes feel like we are out-sourcing important aspects of child-rearing, and while this is heartbreaking, I am also very grateful for all that you have done for George. Thank you to all the staff for always making the time to chat with us, the best proof that our beautiful boy is liked, understood and valued.

As way of a Christmas gift, George decided to choose some plants for each teacher which he will bring in this week. Each teacher may like to take one home or if preferred, add it to the Kindalin garden. They are succulents and are relatively hardy so no need to be a green thumb!

Miss Ali, Miss Melissa and their team are so friendly, caring, who make my children feel very welcome! The kids always love going to Kindalin. My son, Jack built some special bonds with the teachers and fellow children and takes those skills now onto School. They always have new exciting activities that keep my kids busy, learning and wanting to go back for more. I can HIGHLY recommend the team at Kindalin, Cherrybrook.
