About Cottage Kids Community Preschool - Berkeley Vale

Cottage Kids Community Preschool is a family-owned and operated early childhood education and care service located in Berkeley Vale, proudly embedded within our local community. We are a small 47-place service, providing high-quality education and care for children aged 2 years through to school age, allowing us to build strong, meaningful relationships with children and families while supporting each child’s individual learning journey and transition to Kindergarten.

Our service is guided by the National Quality Framework (NQF) and the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). Through intentional, play-based learning, we support children’s wellbeing, independence, curiosity, and lifelong love of learning. We recognise each child as a capable and active learner and value their individual strengths, interests, culture, and family context.

At Cottage Kids Community Preschool, relationships are central to everything we do. We prioritise secure, respectful, and responsive relationships between educators and children, fostering a strong sense of belonging where children feel safe, supported, and confident to explore, take risks, and learn. Our experienced and dedicated educators work collaboratively to design inclusive, engaging learning environments that reflect children’s voices and promote meaningful learning outcomes.

We are deeply committed to child safety and wellbeing, supported by strong governance, clear accountability, and robust child-safe practices. Children’s rights, dignity, and safety are upheld at all times through transparent policies, professional practice, and a culture of continuous improvement.

As a community preschool, we value genuine partnerships with families. We believe families are children’s first and most influential teachers and work collaboratively through open communication, shared decision-making, and respectful relationships. We also maintain strong connections with local schools and community services to support smooth transitions and positive outcomes for children and families.

Cottage Kids Community Preschool is a welcoming and inclusive environment where diversity is respected, voices are heard, and every child is supported to thrive.
