About Shine Preschool Carlingford

Welcome to Shine Preschool Carlingford!

Our very first early learning centre, Shine Carlingford, is where it all began. Opening its doors to the local community in October 2007, it is a well-established and much-loved centre catering to children aged six weeks to school age and beyond, with before and after school care on offer.

Recently renovated, the purpose-built centre hosts 5 age-based indoor spaces focussing on natural elements. There is a large, dedicated outdoor play area including beautiful trees, sandpit and delicate motor areas where children have plenty of natural space to explore. Two large undercover play spaces allow the children to engage in physical activity all year round. Ample onsite parking with easy access leads to a large, welcoming entry.

This centre truly encompasses the Shine spirit. To help your child thrive, everything they need is included in the daily fee:

  • Welcome pack including a SunSmart wide-brim hat, gym bag and Shine tee
  • All essentials, including nappies, bed linen, water stations to, sunscreen
  • Nutritional seasonal menu providing meals, snacks and beverages that also cater for special dietary requirements
  • Stimulating outdoor spaces with a focus on nature & sustainability
  • Community engagement activities and excursions

Shine Preschool Carlingford has genuinely been the best daycare centre our daughter has attended. We have had such a wonderful experience here and are very grateful to Jess and the entire team for the care, kindness and attention they have given our daughter.<br><br>For us, one of the best signs of a great daycare is when your child is excited to go there in the morning rather than wanting to stay at home — and that has certainly been the case with our daughter. She has genuinely loved going to Shine and has always spoken fondly about her educators and her time there.<br><br>A special mention and heartfelt thank you to Miss Yoko, Miss Ana, Miss Shabhana, Miss Jenny, Miss Bec, Miss Peace, Miss Jyothi, Miss Faribha who have all played a part in making our daughter's time at Shine so happy and memorable. We are incredibly grateful for the warmth, patience and care you have shown her.<br><br>Unfortunately, we are moving out of the area and have to say goodbye. Shine has been an important part of our daughter's early years, and we will certainly miss everyone there.<br><br>Thank you again to Jess and the entire Shine team. We would happily recommend Shine Preschool Carlingford to other families.

Response from the owner

Thank you Stephen for the beautiful review. <br>It takes a special person to work in the early years sector & we are lucky that together, all our special educators make an amazing centre. The genuine partnerships between the educators and the family's & children is unique. <br>Wishing you & your family all the best in your new home.
