SDN Ngallia, Lidcombe

Situated on the beautiful grounds of the University of Sydney’s Cumberland campus in Lidcombe, SDN Ngallia offers early childhood education and child care for 47 children.

Many students and staff members from Sydney University and TAFE use our centre but we also welcome all families from the community.

Children, their families and visitors are encouraged to speak in the languages they speak at home at the centre. Staff members speak 12 different languages altogether, including English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Tamil, Hindi, Nepali, Macedonian, Kurdish, Arabic, Croatian, Telugu, Spanish, Serbian and Persian.

SDN Ngallia welcomes children with disabilities or developmental delays, and families in need of support and assistance.

Ngallia means ‘the meeting place of the children’ in the local Aboriginal Darug language.

What our families say...

“The staff looking after our son seem to really care about him. He can be very shy. We’re very glad the Centre has been so inclusive right from the beginning.”

“The carers are excellent. They perform their tasks with skill and enthusiasm. The diversity of staff is a plus too.”
