About Us

Welcome to Sandcastles Childcare Mona Vale

Our early learning and long day care centre offers child care in Mona Vale near Warriewood in a homely setting for families living or commuting through Mona Vale, Bayview, Newport, Warriewood and Bilgola Plateau. We provide care for children aged between 6 weeks to 6 years and conveniently operate between 7:30 am and 6:00 pm.

Natural play areas for little explorers

Our child care centre offers a homely and welcoming environment for your child. Each area is specifically designed with young learners in mind. Our smaller size allows educators to get to know the children in each room. Inside, you’ll find open and spacious rooms with leading-edge, play-based educational programs and tools to support each child’s development.

Our natural outdoor play areas encourage play-based learning in a natural setting with real trees and grass and also provides ample cover for shade and all-weather play. Our outdoor environments include water play, sandpits, mud kitchen, slide, climbing equipment, indigenous bush tucker garden and pet chickens that lay fresh eggs daily for our families. We explore our outdoor play area regularly with our bush kindy curriculum. Our child care centre’s outdoor play area also provides ample shade and cover for all-weather play.

Nutritious meals freshly prepared in-house

You will never need to worry about packing lunches or snacks. We provide nutritious meals created daily by our in-house cook, catering for all dietary requirements – our menu is designed with approval from NSW health’s munch and move program. Shared mealtimes between children and educators strengthen relationships, with opportunities to share stories and experiences, and model healthy eating practices.

Dedicated educators and high-quality programs

Our longstanding team of child care educators strive to create a calm, comfortable and nurturing early childhood education environment where each child feels safe. The highly-trained team of early learning educators are hand-picked to support the children and their individual learning. Our curriculum is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), and our learning environment encourages children to learn through play and become inquisitive and curious members of society. You will receive daily updates and photos detailing children’s learning and development on our parent App – Xplor.

Our School Readiness program is taught by our team of passionate early learning educators led by our bachelor-qualified teacher to ensure your child is supported for their transition to school every step of the way. With a focus on language, literacy, numeracy, social skills and more, your child will become school ready. 

Extracurricular activities and community-focused learning

We support our children’s physical development, needs and strengths with specialised early childhood education programs that involve music, sustainability, Taekwondo classes and sports. These child care programs promote fine and gross motor development, social and emotional skills. The children regularly take outings to build their sense of community through our Bush & Beach Kindy Program to the local parklands.

We welcome you to visit our child care centre and meet with our staff so that they may show you around our amazing centre. We look forward to hearing from you!

Meet the Centre Manager

Kylie Trabi

Mona Vale Childcare Centre Manager - Sandcastles Childcare

I hold a Diploma in Children’s Services. I started in the sector as a trainee and have worked in all positions from room leader, Centre Manager and most recently an Area Manager. Within the early childhood education sector, I have worked across all areas of children’s services including long day care, preschool, playgroup and owning my own family day care business. 

Safe early learning environment

As a child, I always played “schools” and working with children was something I always wanted to do. Having a natural connection with children, I love watching little curious minds exploring new concepts/environments. Children learn through play. When children feel safe, secure and comfortable in their learning environment, they will flourish. It is my priority to ensure children feel safe, secure and comfortable in our environment.

Close-knit team

At Sandcastles Childcare Mona Vale, we have long-serving, multicultural team members who reflect our local community. Many have been with the centre for over 5 years. It’s the sort of centre where everyone knows all the children, no matter which room they are in. We are such a close-knit team it feels like one big family. The whole team sees their role as incredibly important, helping children establish the building blocks for a successful lifetime of learning.

As a mother myself, I understand how difficult it is to trust your child with someone else. I try to make each family feel a sense of belonging to our child care centre. I pride myself on being available to my team and families. We communicate regularly with families so that everyone is aware of what is happening through newsletters and posts on our Xplor app.

Testimonials

See what some of our parents have to say about our child care centre:

“My son has been going here for over 2 years and he absolutely loves it. My 2nd child started 5 months ago also and is learning so much. The care the educators provide is outstanding and the director is amazing. I feel so at ease, dropping my kids here. Highly Recommended!”

  • Brayden Johnson

 

“We’ve been with this centre for 3 years and have just started my second child. They listen to every concern and could not have been more supportive of my transition back to work. I have the same staff who cared for my eldest now caring for my youngest, having that connection is pretty special when you don’t have an extended family to help. The centre itself is really homely and well set out with a big outdoor space, the food is cooked on-site and the kids get to help out with the chickens and the garden.”

  • Camilla Barklem

 

“I am very happy to provide a 5-star review of Sandcastles after almost 8 years being a parent member of the community. Over that period, there have been several changes in management and structure. What has been maintained is outstanding teaching staff, lovely resources and an abundance of outside space. The chickens, the warmth, the friendliness and the delicious food are all excellent. I am grateful for the love and care my sons have received at Sandcastles.”

  • Sacha Webster

 

“A wonderful centre with caring and attentive staff as well as a fantastic Director and 2IC. I highly recommend Sandcastles Mona Vale to anyone looking for an environment that makes you feel welcome and part of the family.”

  • Kylie Stay

 

“Fantastic centre. Wonderful caring and experienced staff who genuinely care and take an interest in the children and their families. So glad we moved our little one, he settled immediately, is so happy and is coming on leaps and bounds. Highly recommend.”

  • Emma Darlison
