Peter Pan Kindergarten in Caringbah is a privately owned Early Learning Centre and Preschool, recently under new management. We provide childcare for 20 children aged 3 to 6 year olds each day. Situated in the Sutherland Shire on Port Hacking Road for over 50 years, we have contributed to the education of many children in Caringbah by paving the way as each child makes their transition to school.
 
Our Early Education and Preschool Program is based on the Early Years Learning Framework curriculum to encourage each child to be an active and independent learner in a warm, friendly and positive environment. The small group size allows each child to be a part of the day by taking turns and becoming involved in group language and music times. Our highly qualified teachers engage the children throughout the day in a variety of learning experiences and the children are encouraged to assist their peers, as well as support themselves to become independent, caring individuals.

We offer both a long day (from 8am to 4pm) and a short day (from 9am to 3pm).    We are open 50 weeks of the year with a two-week break over Christmas. Peter Pan Kindergarten is approved for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) from Centrelink.  Contact us for more information.
