What we offer Dundas Valley families

The childcare options within Dundas Valley itself are mostly preschools running shorter hours. For families who need full-day, full-week care, the closest long day care centres that take babies from 6 weeks are in West Ryde and Ryde. We're one of those.

School readiness matters too. Our Rainbow Room (4–6) prepares children for primary school.

The drive in

The most common route is Kissing Point Road south to Victoria Road, then onto Mons Avenue. It takes 10 to 15 minutes most mornings. The far side of Dundas Valley (towards Carlingford) takes a few minutes longer.
