Preschool and Long Day Care Centre West Pennant Hills
Our licensed professionals are dedicated to providing an excellent environment for both children and parents. We are an early learning centre that provides high-quality care and education to children between 3-5 years. We are committed to providing the ideal environment for your child’s development. Our highly qualified staff provide a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment where children can learn through play. Our child has gone from screaming at drop off every day for a year at our previous Centre to looking forward to pre-school and west pennant hills childcare saying ‘I had the best day ever’ each afternoon.
We ensure the outdoor environment has adequate shade and that children have sunscreen applied. We ask you provide your child with a broad brimmed or legionnaire hat and clothing that covers the shoulders. The transition to school program at our centre focuses on assisting children to develop a sense of identity, respond to emotional and cognitive demands of the school environment and life beyond.
We recognise that health, culture, community and Country are deeply connected – and we are committed to listening and learning as part of this shared journey. Children come together as a group and slow down to enjoy lunch, made by our in-house cooks, with an opportunity to sleep, rest or relax for children who want or need to. Our planned indoor and outdoor nursery experiences continue with the chance for movement, games and more books and songs, with an afternoon snack provided. Families who attend for 3 days or more can receive 50% reduction of the full daily rate charged for holidays.
These excellent teachers coached my child to win his school debating competition with a distinction.

Explore our diverse programs from birth to 6-year-olds, including Under 3’s, Preschool, and Kindergarten. We have been very lucky with having such a fantastic experience. Leaving our first born at 12 months old was a scary thought for me and my husband.
It’s no suprise that many families in the area have left other centres and moved their children to Kindalin West Penannt Hills. All the staff at West Pennant Hills Guardian have been amazing with my daughter. All the staff are very patient, helpful and well trained, under the wonderful management of Sneha.
Binnowee Kindergarten caters for 40 children each day in two classes and provides a high quality early learning program. Our preschool is open from 8.30am to 4pm during school terms, for children from 3 to 5 years of age. When they graduate from the childcare centre, they are well-rounded young people who have a passion for learning, are ready for a globalised world, and are motivated to become engaged, contributing members of society. As part of the Kindalin Education Network (KEN), we bring leading experts and preschool specialists to West Pennant Hills to enrich our learning through music, movement, and creative arts workshops and programs. Our exciting calendar is filled with regular weekly and monthly activities, as well as special seasonal events, ensuring children are constantly engaged in new and enriching experiences. At Kindalin, we provide high-quality childcare and early education that inspires curiosity, builds confidence, and nurtures a lifelong love of learning.
Our programs are based on the Australian Government’s ‘Early Years Learning Framework’. Children should bring a hat, a water bottle and all food required for the day. Children should also bring any personal items to support their individual care needs (e.g. medication or change of clothes).
Educators promote self-help skills as the children serve their own fruit and veggies from the platters, and make decisions for themselves as to what they would like to eat. The Kindalin philosophy and curriculum are based on years of experience and up-to-date early childhood research which recognises the importance of children’s active, hands on involvement in their learning. By focusing on Nutrition for Life, Guardian gives families peace of mind, knowing their children are developing habits that can set them up for a future of exposure to different foods, good eating patterns and healthy eating. Our qualified cook / chef provides 5 healthy foods every day from our in-house kitchen.
It's always telling when a child goes to two different preschools / childcares at the same time and picks a favourite, and it seems to be everyone that I speak to, all of their kids also pick Sun Valley as their favourite. To BE Me is Guardian’s exclusive learning program specifically designed for each age and stage of your child’s early years. The program includes resources and tools that support learning and make it easy to see your child’s progress along Learning and Development Pathways. It groups your child’s learning into seven areas to help you see this progress clearly. Each of these areas has behaviours or skills that are generally linked to each age and stage. Guardian West Pennant Hills offers high quality early learning for children aged six weeks to six years.
Our enrolment process is straightforward and designed to support you every step of the way. My family have been at this centre for over 4 years now and we love it. The outdoor space is beautiful and the kids get to do excursions to the adjacent nature reserve. They are all so wonderful, passionate, caring, friendly and helpful, really happy to go the extra mile to help out their kids and families. There has been very little staff turnover while we've been there too which means the kids get to build great relationships with the educators. The NSW Government offers funding to subsidise the cost of preschool in long day care.
Our gardening program allows children to dig, plant, and care for real gardens. The Child Care Subsidy is assistance from the Federal Government to help with the cost of child care. All meals and snacks are provided and prepared in-house at Kindalin West Pennant Hills. The menu was designed in collaboration with dietitian Fiona Kupresanin, and offers a nutritious selection of food.
In OWNA, you will receive daily updates and photos and be able to communicate directly with your child’s educators. After sending my son to another local preschool in the Hornsby area for a short time, we changed to PHWMCC and the difference is night and day. This is an amazing place, with incredible educators who make the whole experience amazing for the little ones. My son (1) has settled in beautifully and I feel relaxed knowing he is in the best care. The educators at Kindalin West Pennant Hills use meal and snack time as another educational opportunity for the children.
