Our Program and Approach
At KU Liverpool, we provide an educational program that is based on children’s individual interests and use the Early Years Learning Framework to guide our practices.
Our program is inclusive and involves all children, each with their own background and needs. We provide education and care that is individualised and we aim to create an environment where each child feels valued and nurtured in our centre.
We believe that the development of positive relationships with children is the basis for all other aspects of their learning. Our play spaces are set up to enable individual choice, participation and collaboration with others.
We believe that early childhood is a valuable stage of human development and we see young children as competent and capable learners from birth. We believe relationships to be of upmost importance and aim to develop the kinds of relationships with each child that makes them feel respected and gives them a sense of belonging to our centre community.
Families are an integral part of our program and are encouraged to participate in meaningful ways, which helps us meet their child’s needs and interests. Our team of educators acknowledge and respect the diversity of our communities and are inclusive of all family groups.
The educators facilitate learning through environments that are rich, engaging and stimulating, with an array of meaningful experiences, covering a variety of curriculum areas that are well thought out and purposeful in their intention.
We greatly value the strong relationships between our staff, children and families, and we look forward to the opportunity of including your family in the life of our centre.
Our Focus
In addition to the high quality well-rounded programs we offer, all KU centres are also encouraged to develop an area of focus.
At KU Liverpool, our focus is the environment and how this impacts on learning, including looking at sustainability. We believe in the importance the environment has in inviting and enticing children’s engagement, through carefully constructed play spaces, sharing in the responsibility of caring for the environment and embracing the values of sustainable living.
We incorporate this focus into our program through activities such gardening projects and composting. The children have engaged in planting a variety of vegetables in our planter boxes and have cared for the plants by watering them, making scare crows to keep the birds away and harvesting fruit to use in cooking and tasting experiences. The children have also experienced the process of composting from start to finish, as they observe the change that takes place over time to all the materials we have placed in the compost bins.
Our Quality
Our centre has been independently assessed by the Department of Education NSW under the National Quality Standards, and are proud to be rated as Exceeding the National Quality Standard.
However what matters most is what our families think…
“My child has been at KU Liverpool Preschool for two years. His confidence level, interactions and communication skills have developed a lot. He loves being at preschool with his friends and teachers. The staff are very supportive.” – KU Liverpool parent
“‘Love of learning’ that is what my son is gaining at KU Liverpool Preschool. We are happy to see our child spending happy hours in a safe, loving, creative, as well as respectful, environment. The team of educators are so supportive that the child can grow at his own pace, developing confidence. We are glad to say that KU Liverpool has been a good choice for our child.” – KU Liverpool parent
Our Environment
Each KU centre is unique. The best outcomes for children are created within relationships and interactions between children and staff, and children and their families, not within four walls.
We work hard to create beautiful, interesting, homelike learning environments for children – whatever our setting.
Our playground is designed to allow children to explore nature and discover the natural environment. We want children to be able to dig in the mud, climb trees, discover and learn about insects and enjoy connecting with nature. The many activities we offer enable children to immerse themselves in the natural elements of their surroundings and feel inspired to create, imagine and play.
Our Reconciliation Action Plan
KU was proud to launch its inaugural Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) in 2016. At KU Liverpool, we began our journey to develop our centre’s RAP in 2018 and we are proud to launch it now. Please view it here.

The daily fees for 2023 at KU Liverpool Preschool are:
| Fee | Amount |
|---|---|
| 4 year old Start Strong Fee Relief fee | FREE |
| 3 year old Start Strong Fee Relief fee | FREE |
| Start Strong Equity Fee Relief fee | FREE |
| Unfunded fee | $60. 00 |
Which fee will you pay?
The NSW Government is committed to ensuring that all children in
NSW can participate in 600 hours of quality preschool education in the year
before school, no matter where they live or what their circumstances are.
To ensure that affordability is not a barrier for families with
young children, the NSW Government provides Start Strong funding making 600
hours, or 15 hours per week, of preschool participation in the two years before
school more affordable. In KU preschools, this 15 hours per week is met by
enrolling for two days per week.
The NSW Department of Education requires parents to sign the
‘Fee Relief Declaration’ and ‘Consent to use and disclosure of personal
information’ forms at the time of enrolment (see KU’s Standard Terms for the
Enrolment of Children, p.4). Your eligibility for Start Strong Funding, and the
‘Start Strong Fee Relief fees’ is conditional upon signing these forms.
Start Strong Free Preschool (3 year
olds and 4 year olds)
From 2023, the NSW government has provided additional fee relief
funding, based on $4,220 per eligible child. This enables NSW preschools to
reduce the daily fee as much as possible, within the Start Strong funding
parameters.
This funding is for children who turn 3 or 4 years of age by 31
July in the preschool year and are enrolled in a preschool program for 15 hours
per week. Across KU preschools, the ‘15 hours’ is usually met by enrolling in
two x 7.5 hour days per week.
Start Strong fee relief can only be accessed at one service,
either a preschool or long day care service. This ensures as many children as
possible can access affordable early childhood education.
Start Strong Equity Fee Relief Fee
The NSW Government provides further funding for children who
meet the Start Strong Equity funding criteria. If you think you may be eligible
for Equity funding, please speak with the Preschool Director further about
this.
Unfunded Fee
The Unfunded Fee is charged when a family has chosen to access
the Start Strong fee relief at another community preschool or long day care
service.
