Shadforth Preschool

Welcome to Shadforth Preschool, located in the heart of Mosman, Australia. As a family-owned and managed institution for over 20 years, we have been dedicated to providing the highest quality of child care in a warm and nurturing environment. Our philosophy remains unchanged throughout the years – we treat children, families, and staff as equal and valued individuals.

At Shadforth Preschool, we strive to create a safe, caring, and stimulating environment where children are encouraged to develop to their full potential. Our team of dedicated educators not only exceeds the required staff-to-child ratios but also embraces our unique philosophy of Nurturing, Learning, and Community.

Parents have consistently praised our preschool for its excellent preparation for primary school. One parent shared that their child seamlessly transitioned into "big school" thanks to the foundation they received at Shadforth. Even during the disruptions caused by the pandemic, our preschool's curriculum and nurturing approach have equipped children with the skills and resilience needed to thrive.

Families have chosen Shadforth Cottage as the best center for their children before starting school, and they have not been disappointed. Our educators go the extra mile to develop the potential of each child, focusing on literacy and numeracy skills while still allowing time for fun and socialization. Thanks to our dedicated team, parents feel confident that their little ones are ready for the next step in their educational journey.

Over the years, we have had the privilege of caring for and nurturing numerous children, and the feedback from parents has been overwhelmingly positive. The kindness, thoughtfulness, and professionalism of our carers have made a lasting impact on the families we serve. Our progressive and innovative program has delighted parents, ensuring that their children receive a well-rounded education.

Shadforth Cottage has provided the perfect stepping stone for children before starting primary school. Our outstanding staff creates a nurturing environment where children are both socially and mentally stimulated, ensuring their happiness and growth every day.

We take great pride in our nurturing environment, caring and supportive staff, and individual attention given to each child. From providing healthy meals and snacks to fostering a sense of safety and comfort, we strive to give parents peace of mind knowing that their child is in our care.

We are thrilled to have families transition to Shadforth Cottage and exceed their expectations. The warm welcome, dynamic program, and happy environment have made the transition back to work easier for parents, while their little ones thrive in our care.

Shadforth Cottage has been a home away from home for many families, nurturing children's development and providing exceptional care. Our knowledgeable staff, compassion, and provision of nutritious food have allowed children to blossom and feel confident outside of their home environment. Our daycare and preschool programs have prepared children so well that they transition to primary school with confidence.

We prioritize open communication and encourage parents to ask questions and seek advice from our professional team. From the administration team to teachers, everyone is always ready to provide support and assistance.

We are proud to have provided the best care and early childhood education for countless children, and we cannot recommend Shadforth Cottage more highly. Join our community and experience the nurturing environment and dedicated staff that have made us a trusted institution in Mosman for over two decades.
