The best early education and childcare for preschoolers aged 4-5 years in the Sydney CBD

At Little Kingdom’s preschool age day care centre, we take a holistic approach when creating preschool programs incorporating a comprehensive educational and interpersonal development range. We believe that by teaching children a range of transferrable skills across all contexts, we can build a strong foundation for learning that prepares them for their transition into school and the next stages of their lives.

Our Preschool Program covers all your child’s developmental needs

Our high-quality preschool program is based on the Early Years Learning Framework. It is specifically designed to help your child start school with social, emotional, cognitive and physical skills to help them thrive. After completing the high-quality program at our preschool age day care centre, your preschooler will learn to think critically, communicate effectively, and develop a love of learning that will stay with them throughout their academic journey.

Our childcare preschool program incorporates physical and psychological aspects of learning and supports your child through nurturing and trusting relationships. We have experienced and qualified teachers, as well as resourced and safe environments, to reinforce each child’s development via a focus on four key development areas.

Social and emotional development for preschoolers

At Little Kingdom’s preschool age day care centre, children can make leaps and bounds in their emotional development with guidance and support. We support preschoolers to regulate their emotions and talk openly about their feelings, helping them develop strong social and emotional skills. From self-control to gaining understanding and purpose, our holistic approach to learning means your child is secure, supported and ready to take on a ‘big school’.

Cognitive development for preschoolers

We create a diverse environment that challenges and develops the cognitive abilities of our preschool children. At Little Kingdom childcare, preschool age curriculum activities are both educational and fun. Through this, our preschoolers have the opportunity to expand their minds and learn new skills every day. Our activities cover literacy, numeracy, creativity, problem-solving, technology and language and are developed and implemented by our experienced and qualified educators.

Physical development for preschoolers

Children at preschool age continue to build on and refine their physical skills. At our preschool age day care centre, we develop specific and challenging experiences that allow preschoolers to test their abilities and continue their development. Our wonderful indoor and outdoor spaces encourage your child to take increased responsibility for their health and physical development. This promotes a culture of independence that’s needed for their school years.

Speech and language
development for preschoolers

As your child grows, their language skills become much more complex. At Little Kingdom childcare, language plays a vital part of formal and informal education and is woven into every aspect of our day care preschool program. Through our transition to school program, preschoolers are encouraged and supported to use complex language to express their ideas, thoughts and observations to excel at ‘big school’!

FAQs

Typically, a preschooler is four to five years old. Children at this age are naturally curious, making it an ideal stage in their development to enter a preschool program and start learning the essential skills that they will need when entering formal schooling. Skills such as interacting with others and effective communication go a long way in helping your child to transition happily into the next phase of their growth. 

 

Here at Little Kingdom, we offer care and education to pre-primary school-aged children. If your child is not yet at preschool age, we have various programs to suit younger stages of development. Feel free to contact us to discover more on how we can help your child grow in a safe, caring environment.

In NSW, kindergarten is equivalent to what is recognised as the preparatory level in primary school in other Australian states. Preschool learning prepares your child for kindergarten, making it an easier transition into the formal learning undertaken in a school environment. 

 

The Little Kingdom preschool program will help your child gain the confidence to happily transition between these levels. We are confident you will be telling everyone you know that you’ve found the best preschool near me!

Our preschool program will guide your child in social, emotional, cognitive and physical development while improving their speech and language. Nurturing these skills is undertaken through supervised free play, structured lessons and activities. We create a safe environment for your child to learn how to freely express themselves while developing an understanding of other’s needs. Through self-expression, we encourage children to try new words and expand their vocabulary. Curriculum-based activities will expand your child’s maths, science and technology knowledge while remaining fun —  ensuring your child is engaged and interested. Preschool learning will set your child up for success in “big school”.

Every child develops at a different pace, which is why we keep our groups small and have highly qualified educators and teachers. Regardless of where your child is in their development, our preschool program can be adapted to ensure each child gets the most out of their experience at Little Kingdom Childcare. Preschool learning will give your child the opportunity to grow in a supportive environment, making the transition into structured schooling easier. We understand the concerns some people may have when sending their child to preschool for the first time. We are always available for any questions you may have as we work with you, to provide the best possible outcome for your child.

Trusted by parents, loved by children

  • My 3 year old daughter has been attending Little Kingdom for 1.5 years now. My nephew attended for 2 years as well before starting kindy. I cannot fault the centre or staff at all. The centre is always kept immaculately clean, the staff are courteous & friendly, and have always gone above and beyond. My daughter's overall development since starting care has been absolutely amazing. Most days when I pick her up she refuses to come home. She loves her friends and especially her teachers. I always feel involved in my child's learning and appreciate the strong communication by staff. I greatly appreciate all staff efforts and cannot thank you all enough!

  • I cannot recommend Little Kingdom highly enough. Mariana and the team are wonderful. Everyone is so welcoming, energetic, caring and accomodating. So many fun, educational activities and lots of healthy meals. My little man gets so excited every time we walk into the building. It makes me so happy knowing that he is cared for by such passionate, loving and nurturing educators.

  • Little Kingdom sets the bar high! I originally had my son in another daycare in the city and switched him to here as I just wasn't feeling it. Walking into LK was a breath of fresh air, I first noticed their values, Love, Nurture, Educate. I second noticed how all their staff genuinely appeared to live those values and 3 years later I know they absolutely do, every day. Their staff turnover appears to be very low unlike other centres I have experienced because their management genuinely cares about providing a great environment for their staff. Which means the staff care about your kids and in turn it makes you feel confident in everything they do. Great range of extra activities, excursions, events and so much fun. Would highly recommend to anyone considering day care in the city. Oh and the view!!!

  • Amazing childcare centre with caring educators and great facilities. After tours at three other centres we felt Little Kingdom was by far the best childcare centre in the city. My first started in the nursery and only recently changed to a local Preschool to make some local friends before starting school next year. My second has also blossomed while attending and just moved up out of nursery. I cannot commend Mariana (Director) and Marianne (Assistant Director) enough for the way they manage Little Kingdom & the family environment they create. The centre policies are more than fair compared to others, low staff turnover, high engagement with parents and great communication.
