We are also setting up their foundational skills for the STEM training curriculum that powers today’s education.
Developing mathematical, scientific and technological literacy. Promoting 21st century skills such as problem-solving, critical analysis and creative thinking.
All wrapped up with Kindy Cottage’s gentle touch, guiding wonder-filled creativity.
Leaving my child in this familiar and beautiful part of the world, with experienced ladies I trust means I can go to work and do what I need to do. Thank you.
You can really feel the kind vibe in here. We’re met every day with big hugs and smiles. The staff knew all our names and we had only been here a short time.
Our family life is busy so it’s reassuring to see how my child is picking up fundamental skills and kids are encouraged to get messy and dirty.
We love to give you daily feedback and that means you don’t miss a thing.
When you call, you’ll speak directly to the teachers who are right there with your child.
Your child knows everyone in our Kindy Cottage community, creating a shared experience.
Everyone at Kindy Cottage knows your child.
Your child will spend their days surrounded by knowledgeable teachers encouraging children to learn something new, try a little harder, and to think just a little deeper.
We aim to win their hearts to form strong, warm and loving bonds. Everything we do is designed to delight children’s hearts and inspire their minds.
We get messy and dirty and take lots and lots of time to experiment, create and try new things.
As child care operators, our record of keeping children safe is exceptional. Our years of experience teaching small children ensures we know how to create and maintain a safe and innovative learning environment.
We believe happy children learn.
Work is play and play is work at the cottage.
Qualified and dedicated teachers encouraging children to try something new.
And while literacy and numeracy are embedded in the everyday routine, we seek to instil kindness, resilience and co-operation in the everyday.
We believe all of these personal character traits are foundations for a successful future in our often demanding world.
You know, as a parent, to do what you need to do to, you need to feel reassured that your child is safe.
You need to know that when you are not with them, they are enveloped in a caring, learning, growing, fun environment. That their experience every day is just like being in a friendly, loving home.
Being inspired. Learning without realising it.
This is Kindy Cottage.
This is our sole purpose.
Join us.
Our dream for Kindy Cottage has always been to create a space where everyone is happy to be there. We’ve started with this amazing seaside location, a site with a cosy cottage and a much-loved historic building soaring with character and light and a world of possibilities.
When Julie chose the beautifully restored pieces for our Kindy Cottage at Sandgate, they came with an extra layer of love.
We started with the best of 21st century technology, innovation and all the comfort benefits of today’s design that are also sympathetic to this historic building and nursery Cottage.
Then, to create a cottage feel...
As a Centre Manager in the busy world of childcare, it’s a memory of my Nan and Great Nan at Gympie that often comes to mind for me, especially when I enjoy a quiet cuppa.
Our precious heritage-listed building with steeply pitched gabled roof, pressed metal sheeting and timber louvres plus the quaint nursery Cottage alongside is home not only for our childcare service for babies and children, but also the many memories of families whose lives have been touched by this place.
We acknowledge the valued assistance from the Sandgate Historical Society that enabled us to tap into the resource of 100 years of local stories and cherished treasures of this area.
We are conscious this site sits at the heart of Sandgate and our own community. With this in mind we chose Gateway Constructions SEQ to repair and rejuvenate the modern Cottage building and fencing.
Gateway Constructions SEQ are a not-for-profit organisation committed to providing opportunities for young people to rebuild their lives. Within a nurturing environment, this group provides skills and qualification that can transform lives and offer a brighter future for young people.
Builders with heart deliver.
We’re creating a childcare experience that also supports parents and so the family as a whole. What’s informed our direction? Years of listening. Discover all the things that make Kindy Cottage different. Contact us today, we’d love to meet you.
