Kindalin Frenchs Forest goes beyond traditional childcare to deliver an exceptional experience for our children and families.

A family-feel preschool experience on the North Shore in Frenchs Forest!

At Kindalin Frenchs Forest, every room is bustling with positivity, learning and fun! Our unique learning environments spark children’s curiosity to learn and engage with ideas and the world around them. Our dedicated staff go beyond traditional childcare to engage with children and deliver meaningful social learning experiences.

We take pride in our team! Our long-term educators are dedicated professionals who make Kindalin centres welcoming for families and educational for children to explore.

Our Exclusive Preschool Program at Frenchs Forest prepares preschool-age children to transition to Kindergarten. We believe in providing children with positive learning experiences to prepare them for a lifelong love of learning and this program is carefully designed and planned to be a foundation for that. We respond in real time to children’s curiosities and interests during play.

Our Frenchs Forest childcare centre spreads generously across two levels with indoor and outdoor areas to provide children with natural and indoor spaces to explore and grow.

Inside the centre, we have four bright, airy rooms focusing on children of different ages. Downstairs, we provide three rooms for younger age groups, each equipped with the tools and resources to spark young imaginations. A writing centre, a home corner, a construction centre, and quiet areas for stories and reading are just a few.

The upstairs space provides a large room with three separate spaces dedicated to our Preschool-aged children, The Wonderful Wombats. Indoor learning spaces with an indoor jungle room and a natural outdoor area make you feel like a part of a forest. All have many nooks for quiet play, active explorations and small group work.

Our dedicated team of long-term staff are proudly local to Frenchs Forest and nearby suburbs, including Allambie Heights, Oxford Falls, Killarney Heights, Narraweena, and Manly. At our early learning centre, we create a warm, family-focused environment where preschool-aged children can thrive, fostering their growth, development, and school readiness.

Healthy Meals to Fuel Learning and Play

To support growing bodies and active minds, we provide freshly prepared nutritious meals made on-site by our wonderful Kindalin chefs. Our wholesome menu rotates regularly to stay exciting and healthy. Designed in collaboration with leading nutritionists to fuel learning and play, our meals follow the Australian Guidelines for Healthy Eating.

Notes from Frenchs Forest parents

Finding Kindalin was a dream come true. It came at the perfect time for us. The staff go above and beyond, and things never feel like it’s too much trouble. We honestly think Kindalin is the most beautiful and homely place we could have chosen. She thinks her teachers are her world.

I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge the absolutely INCREDIBLE work of Ashlee (Director of Frenchs Forest). She is a force to be reckoned with and is an incredible educator and leader. She is a fantastic blend of patience and quick action.

Her kindness shines through in every interaction, always considering others with compassion and empathy, yet she possesses a quiet strength that allows her to stand firm in her beliefs and take charge when necessary. Ashlee is incredibly approachable and always has time for others, no matter how busy. She listens with care and action. I cannot thank her enough for everything she does at Kindalin.

I also want to take the time to acknowledge the incredible Educators at Frenchs Forest. They consistently put the children first, creating a nurturing environment where they not only understand each child’s unique needs but also genuinely care for their well-being and development.

The relationship the staff build with the children and their families is beyond expectation! I know my daughter is not just a number, and they really know who she is and support her learning. She is always welcomed with the happiest faces, and she loves going! It makes the day care journey great for parents, knowing we are leaving our daughter in safe hands 🙂
