Welcome to Chipmunks Childcare Sydney – Family owned and operated

Our 4 locations across Sydney have been designed with our core values in mind which are around enhancing the educational outcome for young children in the communities we operate in. We recognise that the environment is a third teacher in the education of children, and hence prepare our environments to reflect the current interests and learning of each child and age group. At Chipmunks Child Care we reflect the individual interests and developmental needs of each child in our care. We ensure each child is reflected within our program as well as the experiences we provide.

Across all child cares near you in Sydney, children have access to meaningful indoor experiences as well as outdoor. Children’s safety both indoor and outdoors is a main priority across all locations.

At Chipmunks Daycare Sydney we pride ourselves on having strong communication with families across all locations, this includes daily updates on the children’s learning and interest, routine information including sleep and eating as well as upcoming events and all incidents being communicated effectively. We ensure our families feel valued and able to give input through regular family surveys.

At Chipmunks Preschools we recognise the importance of safety, well-being and belonging. Through our programs and meaningful interactions we believe your child will learn, reach milestones and most importantly, have the best time before their transition to school. At Chipmunks Early Learning Centres we strongly believe that a child begins learning from the moment they enter the world, and never stops, even into adulthood.

6 Reasons to send your child to a Chipmunks Daycare centre Sydney

1. Our programs

Our learning programs are developed to extend on your child’s current interests and developmental needs. Our programs are developed weekly to ensure each experience is an extension of current learning. Our educators use the Early Years Learning Framework to guide their experiences and ensure the children are working towards age appropriate milestones such as self help skills, communication, social and emotional skills.

3. Relationships with families

We recognise the difficult task that is drop off each morning, handing care of your most precious gift over to our team of educators. This is why we pride ourselves on consistent communication with our family, ensuring you know exactly what your child has learnt throughout the day, what individual goals we are working on with your child and over-all how their day has gone. We work closely with our families to ensure their thoughts and feelings are heard and reflected upon and we do this through regular feedback surveys being sent to every family. At Chipmunks Daycare Sydney we pride ourselves on having close relationships with all of our families, and ensuring they feel welcomed and appreciated each day.

To ensure the children in our care get as much from our programs as possible, we understand the importance of them feeling welcomed, valued and having a sense of belonging to their environment. Our team of educators take the time to understand your child, their needs, routines and individual personalities. From the moment you enrol you are encouraged to tell us all about your child and how we can ensure a smooth transition to care. From there we are always reflecting on how we can better support each child and ensure they feel cared for and appreciated at the centre.
