KU James Cahill Preschool

KU James Cahill goes beyond childcare. We create a safe and nurturing environment where childhood is celebrated.

We are proud of our longstanding reputation within the Waterloo community of providing rich education and care tailored to each child’s needs in a family-focussed and supportive way.

Our highly experienced and dedicated teachers and educators build strong, trusting relationships with each child, fostering a sense of belonging and confidence.

Celebrated for our calm, inclusive environment and expansive outdoor space, KU James Cahill offers flexibility to families by offering extended preschool hours and opening over school holidays.

When children play and explore, their imagination and curiosity are sparked – they enjoy learning and are inspired to continue learning more.

Our play-based program intentionally provides a wide range of engaging opportunities and activities based on the Early Years Learning Framework.

Specialising in relationships, our long-term involvement in research projects has deeply enriched our capacity to support each child’s emotional and social wellbeing. Our use of models like Playspaces®, Circle of Security and Marte Meo enable children to feel nurtured and secure.

KU James Cahill has been independently assessed by the NSW Department of Education and are proud to be rated as Exceeding the National Quality Standard.

We believe that the positive interactions children have with our staff are the most important component of our high-quality program. Our team of teachers and educators are qualified, experienced, caring and motivated.

Our staff undergo continuous professional development, staying at the forefront of early childhood education.
