Kindalin Glenhaven: A Peaceful Haven for Preschool Learning - Kindalin ~* Early Childhood Learning Centres : Kindalin ~* Early Childhood Learning Centres

Kindalin Glenhaven offers early learning and preschool programs, plus an exceptional experience for our children and families.

A family-feel preschool experience in beautiful Glenhaven!

Kindalin Glenhaven offers a serene early learning environment. Surrounded by rural acreage and leafy landscapes, the beautifully landscaped gardens, sprawling outdoor spaces, and views of the Blue Mountains provide a tranquil setting for children to thrive. Inside the airy centre, four distinct rooms cater to different age groups, creating vibrant spaces filled with art, creative projects, and engaged children immersed in exploration.

Outdoor Spaces That Inspire Imagination

The outdoor spaces at Glenhaven are a highlight, blending natural beauty with purposeful design. The top yard, dotted with exotic trees, shaded seating areas, and a sandpit, invites imaginative play and exploration. A natural rock formation creates a soothing atmosphere with the sound of water trickling over rocks, inspiring painting, drawing, and discussions about nature. The lower-level outdoor area has been updated with new resources, including a popular cubby house. A blue turf ‘river’ adds an element of dramatic play, while shaded areas provide comfort for year-round activities. These spaces encourage social interaction, creativity, and an appreciation for the natural world.

A Dedicated Preschool Space

Our Wonderful Wombats preschool room is thoughtfully designed to prepare children for their next educational steps. In addition, this spacious, sunlit room features large windows overlooking the natural surroundings, multi-level learning areas for small group discussions, and direct access to outdoor play. A transformed indoor/outdoor room allows children to engage in play-based investigations independently or collaboratively.

Learning Through Play

At Kindalin, we believe play is essential for developing problem-solving, communication, and creativity. Our Exclusive Preschool Program uses play-based learning to help children explore concepts independently. Whether through dramatic play or art, children gain essential skills and prepare for future learning.

A Curriculum that Prepares and Inspires

Our long-term educators have years of experience and a deep passion for early education. They create engaging, play-based learning experiences where children feel safe, supported, and inspired to explore. Kindalin’s exceptional Preschool Program is offered at Glenhaven, where our skilled team provides experiences that prepare children for kindergarten and beyond.

Because we work with experts to enrich the curriculum with workshops, music, movement, and art through our Kindalin Education Network (KEN), we can offer children invaluable opportunities to develop key skills.

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 also follow the Australian Guidelines for Healthy Eating.

At Kindalin Glenhaven, we’re more than a childcare centre—we’re a community committed to helping children thrive. Our experienced educators, purpose-built learning spaces, and proven curriculum make us a trusted choice for childcare in Glenhaven.

“I love seeing the children love their kindy and how they flourish under our care & guidance.”

Notes from Glenhaven parents

Tommy has been attending Kindalin since he was 6.5 months and for the last two months has been in the Emu’s Room. During this time he has developed a strong bond with Miss Malissa. I have been extremely impressed with Malissa’s professionalism, care and willingness to work collaboratively with both Luke and I. Malissa has encouraged Tommy to develop his independence and self agency whilst also helping him to learn to interact positively, through care and respect with his peers and educators.

Malissa has continued to engage Tommy with his learning by creating inquiry based play opportunities focussed on his individual interests. Tommy loves attending Kindalin, in fact, it can be hard to get him to leave in the afternoon. This reassures me that we have chosen the best Early Learning Centre for our boys. In addition to Malissa, the whole team at Glenhaven have been amazing for both Matty and Tommy. I often find myself recommending Kindalin to my friends, colleagues and family, a number of whom have now enrolled their children.

Finally, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your strong leadership in 2017. There has been a number of fantastic improvements and developments this year at Glenhaven and no doubt, this has been a result of your influence and foresight. I have also appreciated your efficiency, experience and willingness to collaborate with families.

I can rest assured knowing that when we go to work our boys are in a happy and nurturing environment.

Thank you again.

As AF‘s final year approaches the end I have had some time to reflect on our experience at the centre. I cannot commend the team highly enough. From the very beginning I felt supported in my role as a nervous first time Mum. I was allowed to progress forward with AF at a pace that was comfortable for me. I always received individual feedback about my child and how his day went.

AF‘s special needs were identified early on and with support and guidance from AF‘s teachers and other professionals I have seen how much of a positive difference early intervention can make. I am absolutely amazed at how this years Wombats team have helped my child to grow and overcome his difficulties. We now feel ready to take on the next challenge of school!

I have also noticed the remarkable warmth and affection thatAF‘s teachers have for him, and all the children in his group. There is a deep and genuine bond of love and trust between children and educators, and this in turn has led me to develop a great attachment to the team too! I never have to worry that my child is not being heard, or his needs are not being met.

AF and all his family will miss all of his educators. We are lucky to have had such fantastic people in our lives at such a crucial time.

James and Thomas started at Kindalin at the beginning of the year, and I just want to let you know how pleased we are with our choice of childcare! We are so impressed with Kindalin Glenhaven!! James has been going to daycare since he was 9 months old, as did our older children Charlotte and Oliver,and we have always been happy with their daycare centre. We could not fault it, but similarly towards the end we did not rave about it. It was only when you suggested we looked around Kindalin just for a comparison that we realised what we had been missing out on! We love… that we have felt welcome from the first day we walked into Kindalin that the staff at Kindalin are so genuinely happy and enthusiastic. that they are always in the centre of activities with the children and the staff/child ratio seems much higher than we have previously been used to. The atmosphere always feels charged with excitement staff are never just sat chatting together while the children play without guidance that the walls are full of beautiful artwork and creations that are beautifully presented that James came home singing Waltzing Matilda after Australia Day!! That Thomas always comes home with paint under his fingernails the packed programme of activities that you do with the children each month how you want the parents to be involved and informed by having coffee evenings that James talks about the nice new friends he has made and talks about the staff by name that Thomas always has artwork to bring home and we know he’s not just crawling around all day that the staff always remember our childrens names, right from the first week the rooms and outside areas are so beautifully set out that James loves Kindalin food that James does exercises! That you have our child’s best interests at heart and look after them like we do.
