Our Story
Our architecturally designed early learning centre has been created by parents, for families and is now 5.5years old.
Having sent our 4 kids through day-care and preschool, we know firsthand that a safe and nurturing learning environment creates a solid foundation for the future health, development and well-being of a child’s life. We also know how important it is for parents and carers to feel confident in their choice of early learning centre.
In the development stage we worked hard for 4 years researching, consulting industry experts and collecting feedback so we could create the perfect space for your child to flourish and thrive. We are proud to introduce you to the Kinder Lane team below:
Sarah Newman
Guwing Room
My role at Kinder Lane is....Educational Leader
I love my work because... I can get to see how each child brings their own
uniqueness to my day and how they make me laugh and question the world I live in. I have been a teacher for almost 14 years and it is so much rewarding and never has a dull moment. Now, It can be stressful at times but what job isn’t? The best part is the joy on the faces when they learn new things and in the end you can look back and say I taught them that. That makes me feel wonderful. I also love the little things they say as it always puts a smile on my face because at this age they are so innocent and just down right honest.
