Playdays Preschool & Day Care Centre West Pennant Hills

Every day is a new opportunity for discovery and growth at Playdays Preschool & Long Day Care Centre West Pennant Hills, which is rated exceeding in the National Quality Standard. With a range of resource-rich environments, including a spacious undercover patio, vegetable gardens, built-in tunnel, clay play area and a range of age-specific ateliers, children are encouraged to explore and learn.

The homely centre is located in a quiet residential area, with horses living across the road. We look forward to taking the children on excursions to visit the horses, local library and catch a train from the soon-to-be completed Cherrybrook station.

With a community-minded team of Educators, there’s always something happening at Playdays. Regular guests include the dentist, Swim Safe team, optometrist, Rangers on the Run and a chick hatching program.

Our on-site cook prepares three nutritionally balanced meals using seasonal ingredients every day. To further explore food at the centre, our dedicated Educators host weekly cooking classes for the children to get involved in to enhance their understanding of good nutrition.

Rhythm of The Day

With endless possibilities, there’s never a dull moment at Guardian and no two days are the same. Here’s what a day at Guardian might look like. Please note, this will vary depending on centre opening hours.

  • From 6:30am

    Handover time with children, families and our friendly Educators. There's a chance for conversation to share what's important for the day/what's happened the night before at home.

  • From 7:00am

    Breakfast time where families are welcome to stay and enjoy breakfast with the children.

  • Morning

    As children are arriving and families are coming and going, there's an opportunity for play as well as family grouping, open-plan play and multi-age grouping.

  • Morning

    As the children come together, planned experiences begin. This is where the Guardian programs and practices come to life. Examples of learning include numeracy, literacy, language, critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, social skills, technology, science, creative arts, curiosity and more.

  • Morning

    There's an opportunity for children to come together and enjoy morning tea.

  • Mid-morning

    Following morning tea, the planned experiences continue. This includes both indoor and outdoor programs.

  • Afternoon

    There's an opportunity for children to come together for lunch. With an open-door policy, families are able to join the centre for meals and excursion if they wish.

  • Afternoon

    For children who want to, or need to, there's an opportunity to sleep, rest or relax. For children who don't need to rest, there are planned experiences, which are more likely to be outdoors.

  • Afternoon

    Children come together for afternoon tea in small groups or with siblings (they can also rest and play together, too). This time also presents an opportunity to reflect on the day.

  • End of the day

    As families arrive to pick up children, there's an opportunity to speak to Educators and share information about the day.

  • End of the day

    Some centres offer early tea or light snack at the end of the day, which they can grab as they leave the centre. We’re mindful of how routines vary at home, so if throughout the day, we notice children look tired, food will be provided.

Learn More About Our Centre

Playdays Preschool & Long Day Care in West Pennant Hills is a small early learning and childcare centre with a big heart. Hidden away in the West Pennant Hills valley, our permanent and stable team means your child will be greeted every day by educators that they know and trust, in an environment that develops a love of learning and strong friendships.

Our program is individually tailored to each child. We have developed a unique early learning curriculum that promotes learning and development by taking children’s personal interests, and turning them into opportunities for educational play. We also prepare the children for the big wide world through our unique school readiness program.

We believe that children who eat well, learn well. As such, we offer a delicious wholefood early learning menu that is prepared on site each day using only the freshest seasonal ingredients.

Within our Centre, the children love playing host to special guests such as visitors from NSW Dog Safety, LazyTown, Bob Turner Wildlife, and the Muru Mittigar Aboriginal community. Outside the centre, our annual Forest Elves and Fairies Walk in the local Cumberland State Forest is always a huge hit!
