Welcome to Carlingford West Kindergarten.
Carlingford West Kindergarten is a non-for-profit community based preschool established in Carlingford for over 44 years, and has an excellent reputation in the community for providing quality care and education in a homely, inviting environment.
We are open Monday to Friday from 8.30am – 3.30pm for 41 weeks per year. The centre closes for public holidays and the NSW Public School holidays.
The centre is accredited by the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA) and funded by the NSW Family and Community Services (FACS).

At Carlingford West Kindergarten we provide an excellent educational program based on the needs of the individual child where staff implement an anti bias approach to ensure that all children have equal opportunity to develop their skills and interests.
The daily Room Leader in association with other educators, is responsible for the planning of an early childhood program which reflects child centred, anti bias and multi cultural experiences, that is developmentally appropriate and planned from the children’s observations and interests.
Our program covers a wide variety of developmental and interest areas within the indoor and outdoor play environments. These include curriculum key-learning outcomes as recommended in the Early Years Learning Framework where children have a strong sense of identity; Children are connected with and contribute to their world; Children have a strong sense of well-being; Children are confident and involved learners and Children are effective communicators.
Parents are welcome to discuss their child’s development at any time with their child’s educator by making an appointment. Parent interviews are held in the middle of the year to discuss your child’s progress and preparations for school readiness. Parents will also receive a portfolio showing your child’s development and work.
