About The Service

KU Moss Vale is a charming 38-place long day care service nestled in the beautiful Southern Highlands. Operating from 7:15am to 5:45pm, we offer extended care for the local community.

We offer a play-based educational program that supports children from 6 weeks to 5 years old, fostering meaningful learning experiences in a warm, welcoming environment.

We believe in creating an outdoor environment that inspires active learning and exploration. Sustainability is at the heart of our approach, encouraging children to connect with and appreciate the natural world around them.

The service is home to a spacious,



recently refurbished playground that connects directly to a leafy park, providing endless opportunities for excursions. We also visit our local school to support the connection for a smoother transition to school experience.

We also care for our people's well-being so ensure our staff room is well-resourced for you to enjoy the comfort of a private, peaceful retreat for your (paid) breaks.
