The Service

KU Grevillea Preschool in Hornsby Heights is proud of their reputation within the local community of providing rich education and care that concentrates on individual children in a family-focussed and supportive way.

An integral part of the KU Grevillea program is our ‘Bushland Learning Journeys’. We take children on regular "out the gate" excursions to surrounding bushland and parks, providing them with the opportunity to discover and connect with nature, and allowing children to develop a sense of wonder, curiosity and respect for the environment. We are also passionate about nurturing health and wellbeing and have a focus on physical activity, with our aesthetic natural garden playground being our outdoor classroom environment.
