About our centre

Where children feel safe, confident and ready to learn

We create a safe and nurturing environment for children to learn, play and grow.

Children flourish when their learning follows their interests. We partner with families so each child's unique strengths are recognised — and celebrated.

We're located just minutes from UNSW, making us a convenient, easy drop-off for university staff and researchers on their way to campus — and a calm, familiar place to collect little ones at the end of the day.

★★★★★
Innovative Early Learning Kingsford was, is and continues to be an absolute God-send. We started looking at child carers very early on and, after having a meeting with Eva, we knew it was the right place. Things got more complicated after we found out our baby boy had hypotonia and developmental delays, but IELK did not miss a beat. The director, Sunny, and all the staff have supported, encouraged and stood by us like angels watching over our baby boy daily despite how challenging it can be to do so at times. We are eternally grateful to the entire IELK team but Sunny, Eva, Angeline, Andrea, Kenji and Dylan will hold a special place in our hearts forever. Thank you for caring for Mateo the only way I can bear to leave him in someone else's care: with kindness, patience and understanding. We hope to continue seeing him grow and thrive at IELK 🙏🏻🥰🩵

The staff has helped my son settle into daycare seamlessly since he was enrolled. They take feedback well and always strive to do more. My son has gained so much since he started, especially with his development and making new friends. I commend all the staff for the effort they put into this job 🌟

My son loves attending this daycare, particularly for the attention and kindness of the educators. They have been very helpful with updating us on his development and helping him work through emotional and educational steps and milestones. Daily activities are exciting and well thought out. The centre has also received all new toys and equipment!
