Our Early Learning Programmes
Utilising a proven ‘Play’ based curriculum that focuses on creativity and nature, our Ballykin Childcare Mosman centre is separated into three defined learning spaces. As the children transition through age-appropriate spaces, the Ballykin journey culminates in a school-readiness program that prepares them for the next stage of their education. Our professional educators build relationships with each child in their early years in a nurturing environment. This creates a sense of continuity and trust as they move from class to class and progress on their Ballykin journey.
Penguins
2 to 3 Years Old
Our starting room is a nurturing, caring and supportive learning environment for your toddler to explore and experience the first stage of their early education journey. The curriculum aims to have a lasting impact on your child and to set them on the path to achieving their full potential. It focuses on aspects such as belonging, care, joy, autonomy, curiosity, being grateful, and building friendships.
Echidnas
3 to 4 Years Old
This engaging preschool educational program is designed specifically for the needs of your 3-year-old child. The Echidnas class emphasises a play-based curriculum, inspiring creative thought and action. The curriculum focuses on creativity, investigation, challenge and resilience. This is administered through clear communication in an environment with good child ratios.
Meerkats
4 to 5 Years Old
This preschool educational program is based on a play-based curriculum that supports each child's early years learning framework.
The curriculum focuses on persistence, imagination, problem-solving, and self-directed learning. It encourages creative exploration and is specifically designed to prepare your child for and help them thrive in school.
Other Classes & Fun Activities
Ballykin Mosman offers lots of other fun classes for all the kids in our care. These classes are unique to our centre and draw on the individual skills and abilities of our dedicated in-house educators and carers.
Spanish
Facilitated three times a week by Ballykin's Spanish-speaking educator, our Spanish class helps the children to learn another language through literacy and music experiences. Typically, this is achieved through singing and greeting each other in Spanish.
Sports
Our sports program is facilitated by our Sports Educator across all three classes. It is focused on developing your child’s physical development, health and wellbeing; in line with the NSW Health “Munch and Move” program.

At Ballykin, the needs and well-being of each child are at the core of everything we do. As part of our care program, meals are prepared fresh each day by our amazing on-site chefs.

Our Community
We believe in community and take a collaborative approach to the daily care provided to and education of the children. We work closely with our families, listening to their needs and sharing our insights and perspectives. Our convenient location in the heart of Mosman village supports our strong community focus, with regular local tours to parks, libraries, shops, schools, and other key community places. Sometimes this involves the children taking public transport.
