Long day care and childcare near Eastwood.

Eastwood is one of Sydney's more multicultural suburbs, with a strong Korean-Australian and Chinese-Australian community. Our centre reflects that mix; many of our educators speak languages other than English, and we welcome families in their first language wherever we can.

Distance

About 3 to 4 kilometres from central Eastwood

Drive time

10 to 13 minutes, via Anzac Avenue

Train

Two stops from Eastwood to West Ryde station, then a four-minute walk to the centre

Why Eastwood families choose us

Eastwood itself has several preschools and early-learning options. Families come to us when they need long day care (full-day, full-week, all year), when they want continuity from babies through to school age, or when they want a centre where many languages are spoken every day.

Our team between them speak Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Tagalog, Spanish, Hindi and English, among other languages. Settling in is easier when an educator can talk to you and your child in the language you use at home. Diwali, Lunar New Year, Eid and Christmas are all marked at the centre, and families bring their own celebrations into the rooms when they want to.

The drive in

The most common route is Rowe Street to Anzac Avenue, then south to Mons Avenue. Ten minutes off-peak, slightly more during morning peak. From the far side of Eastwood (towards West Pennant Hills), it's a few minutes longer.

Parking is on site at the centre.

Train option

Eastwood Station is two stops from West Ryde on the T9 Northern Line. From West Ryde Station it's a four-minute walk to the centre. A handful of our Eastwood families use this route, particularly when only one parent is doing pickup.
