SDN Surry Hills Long Day Care and Preschool

SDN Surry Hills provides quality early childhood education and care for 60 children per day in Sydney’s vibrant inner east community.

The centre is part of SDN Children's Services, which is a not for profit organisation.

The centre first opened its doors in 1918, and has been a place of warmth and welcome ever since. Knowing and being active in the local community is important to our team and we pride ourselves on the connections we have made and maintained over the years, all the while watching the local area transform into the vibrant, creative and colourful place it is today.

Relationships with children, families and one another are the basis of our educational program and we know children need to feel safe and welcomed to reach their full potential.

Our learning environments are developed over days, weeks, months and years, with problem-solving, creativity and collaboration among our most valued teaching and learning tools. Our playground is a place of natural wonder and a rare gem in this inner city suburb - brimming with mature gum trees, open space, lush gardens and home to our resident guinea pigs.

At SDN, your child is supported by our village.

The SDN village is a caring, inclusive, and supportive community, where your child is the centre of everything we do. We give them the freedom to invent, create, explore, and express their true selves, every day. A place where they can use their voices. And when they do, we listen.

We see the whole child and know that children thrive when we support them to grow caring hearts, healthy bodies, and curious minds.

SDN is committed to being a child safe organisation.
