Kamalei in Bowral is a long day care centre for children aged from 6 weeks to 5 years. We are open from 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday and closed during public Holidays and at Christmas for two weeks. We implement a Reggio Emilia approach inspired curriculum at our Bowral preschool centre, and we ensure each child in our care receives the attention and encouragement they deserve. Our Early Years and Preschool learning environments reflect a home like environment that is warm, loving and welcoming. We consider children as capable builders of their own knowledge and the adults are facilitators, educators and co-learners. Children and educators together engage in collaborative decision making about the curriculum. Children are free to explore a range of experiences provided each day. Here at Kamalei we welcome each child (Mum and Dad too) into our Kamalei family, helping to make your transition into early education and care as smooth as possible. Both of our services are committed to ensuring your child receives the highest quality opportunities for development and learning while apart of the Kamalei family. We are proud of our achievements of having received and �Exceeding' rating for both our services, when assessed by the NSW regulatory Authority in 2017. Our educators are qualified and dedicated to providing the best quality early education and care for all the children at Kamalei. We also have the pleasure of mentoring trainees and students on professional placement. At Kamalei, we believe learning should always be fun. We have a large play area where children can develop integral social skills, and we always have extra staff on hand for supervision and classes. The activities we run are designed to foster early literacy, numeracy, tactile and spacial awareness skills. We also run programs to prepare kids for school.
