SDN Kensington at UNSW Sydney

Located on the UNSW campus, SDN Kensington provides a welcoming and inclusive learning environment where up to 71 children per day are supported to grow, explore and develop a strong sense of belonging.

Guided by our values of inclusion and social justice, our educators listen closely to children and create opportunities for them to make choices, express their ideas and develop confidence, independence and agency.

Our qualified early childhood teachers and educators deliver innovative, child-centred learning programs that respond to children's interests and strengths. Through play, exploration and meaningful relationships, children develop caring hearts, healthy bodies and curious minds, building a foundation for lifelong learning.

The centre is home to a diverse community of local and international families, giving children opportunities to learn about different cultures, languages and perspectives while forming friendships with children from around the world.

Centre history

Children enjoy nutritious, freshly prepared meals each day, with morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea cooked onsite using seasonal ingredients. We work closely with families to support individual dietary requirements and preferences.

SDN Kensington is investing in an exciting playground refurbishment that will introduce new play equipment and enhanced outdoor learning environments. These improvements will create even more opportunities for children to explore, take on new challenges, build confidence and engage in active, imaginative play in a safe and stimulating setting
