Book a tour with Guardian Childcare & Education West Pennant Hills below. Your enquiry will be sent directly to the Guardian Childcare & Education West Pennant Hills. This childcare center is our journey - A journey of exciting learning, delightful stories and a growing vision. We are located on Dharug land and acknowledge the original custodians of this land, the Dharug and Guringai people as the first people to learn, play and live on this land. We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past and present.
We ensure the outdoor environment has adequate shade and that children have sunscreen applied. We ask you provide your child with a broad brimmed or legionnaire hat and clothing that covers the shoulders. The transition to school program at our centre focuses on assisting children to develop a sense of identity, respond to emotional and cognitive demands of the school environment and life beyond.

Great admin staff and you also get the sense of belonging to a welcoming community. I love this place and the people here and so have all my kids. The grounds are lovely with well established trees and great play areas for the kids. The staff are beyond amazing- experienced, intelligent, thoughtful and truly dedicated to the well being of the kids.
We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and to young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples for they hold the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices in their hands. We believe in the power of inspired young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Orchard Early Learning Centre West Pennant Hills provides centre-based care for up to 120 approved spaces. Our community based preschool is located in West Pennant Hills, North Western Sydney. Rosedale Medical Practice in West Pennant Hills acknowledges the Dharug people as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and care for our community. We pay our deepest respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Every child’s needs are carefully tracked, meals are supervised by permanent educators, and allergens are strictly controlled. Beyond providing wholesome food, we use mealtimes as learning opportunities. Children practice independence by serving themselves and engaging in conversations about food, building confidence and understanding of healthy choices. I’m very impressed with the quality of care and education at Kids Planet Academy.

I speak to the Director at every drop off and pick up and she always makes time to greet us. Our Centre is a recipient of funding as part of the NSW Government’s Start Strong Program which subsidises the cost of preschool in long day care. If children would like to, or need to, there’s an opportunity to sleep, rest or relax. If children don’t need to rest, our Flying Start to School learning program continues, where they can enjoy our outdoor space – this might include playing games in a group or working together on a construction project. Children come together again from across the centre to enjoy age-appropriate, planned experiences.
Our enrolments team will review and reach out to confirm your child’s spot. Once approved, you will need to pay the refundable bond of 2 weeks' fees and the non-refundable enrolment fee. The government pays Wonder Years directly, and you are responsible for the gap fee.E.g If daily fees are $120 a day, and your CCS entitlement is 50%, the government pays us $60 a day, and you will only be billed for $60. We believe in the importance of positive discipline and promoting children's social and emotional development. Our team is trained in positive behaviour management techniques, and we encourage children to develop a positive self-image and a sense of self-worth. We deliberately chose to send him to the Hills Montessori, despite some distance from our house, as we know it’s a great pre-school.

Families discount are as follows for families who have more than one child enrolled. To support growing bodies and active minds, we provide freshly prepared nutritious meals made on-site by our wonderful Kindalin chefs. Our wholesome menu rotates regularly to stay exciting and healthy. Designed in collaboration with leading nutritionists, our meals follow the Australian Guidelines for Healthy Eating.
Accountable managers, young  talent educators as well as good experiened elderly educators consist a lovely family. My hope is that everyone who comes to PHWMCC feels warmly welcomed and a sense of belonging here. If you are considering attending PWHMCC I would encourage you to contact us to arrange a time to come and visit and take a look at our beautiful preschool.
It's always telling when a child goes to two different preschools / childcares at the same time and picks a favourite, and it seems to be everyone that I speak to, all of their kids also pick Sun Valley as their favourite. To BE Me is Guardian’s exclusive learning program specifically designed for each age and stage of your child’s early years. The program includes resources and tools that support learning and make it easy to see your child’s progress along Learning and Development Pathways. It groups your child’s learning into seven areas to help you see this progress clearly.​ Each of these  areas has behaviours or skills that are generally linked to each age and stage. Guardian West Pennant Hills offers high quality early learning for children aged six weeks to six years.

Outside in the playgrounds, the children enjoy the sandpit, water play, cubby house, art easels, obstacle course, or riding on the bike track. Sustainability is a focus at this centre, and children love to lend a hand with the vegetable and herb garden. Every teacher is very patient and pays attention to the development of the children in all aspects. Safety and wellbeing are our highest priority, giving families peace of mind in the safe childcare we provide. Yes we are accredited for sun smart and use the sun smart application to monitor UV alerts.
Sun valley preschool is a hidden gem in the valley of West Pennant Hills. After a couple of years of long day care we were thrilled to get a spot for our daughter in the Sunvalley community. The educators are warm, knowledgeable and create the most wonderful experiences for the children in their care. My daughter has thrived in an environment of educators who actually care and she is more than ready for kindergarten next year.

The National Quality Standard is an industry benchmark defined by the government. At our centres, we live for the smiles and laughter that you and your kids will share. Guardian Childcare & Education respects and honours the Traditional Custodians of the land we work on and explore each day. We acknowledge their continuing connection to land, water and community. We pay our respects to the longest living culture and their Elders past, present and emerging. Afternoon tea is a time for children to come together in small groups and fosters a sense of belonging.
We believe in nutrition for life, supporting children to develop  healthy eating habits from an early age.

Meals are designed to be delicious, introduce children to diverse flavours, and make eating healthy food a positive experience. Managing allergies and intolerances is part of how we keep mealtimes safe and enjoyable.
