The Kindalin Vision
We aim to provide every child with a stimulating and challenging environment in which to grow and learn.
Our philosophy is built around six core beliefs:

Partnerships
A successful learning environment is created through the formation of positive relationships between educators, children and their families.

Environments
Providing a positive and nurturing environment for all children, which caters to the whole child, values diversity and views children as active, competent and capable learners.

Active Learning
Children learn through active exploration and interactions with peers, adults and their environment.

Family
Forming partnerships with families supports home practices and encourages parents to take part in curriculum planning and practice. Promoting cultural values and lifestyles of families builds a sense of community, support and understanding.

Community
The centres are involved in the local community, recognising events and inviting others to contribute to our curriculum.

Team Culture
We value a team approach, where educators are respected as individuals and work in a supportive collaborative environment which encourages professional development and reflective practice.
The provision of an open learning environment + exploratory creative programs enhance each child’s individuality and ability to develop to their full potential.
Kindalin's History
All eight Kindalin centres were founded by and own and operated today by Mark and Alison Wharton. Kindalin is proud to be a family owned company with over 25 years of history in the Hills district. We have grown to see students become employees and parents themselves. Kindalin is an aboriginal word that means 'happy'. We acknowledge the contributions of Aboriginal Australians and non-Aboriginal Australians to the care and education of all children in Australia.
