From Willoughby to Roseville

An easy run through Castlecrag, to a quieter street.

Roseville Kindergarten is about 12 minutes by car from Willoughby. For Willoughby families, we're an easy run across through Castlecrag, with the same quiet, leafy character of your own neighbourhood and a team that has stayed for many years and knows every child by name.

Willoughby families drive across through Castlecrag or via Eastern Valley Way, depending on traffic. The trip takes around 12 minutes outside peak. Willoughby is on the bus network, but most preschool families drive in.

Willoughby families often choose Roseville for the leafy character that matches their own neighbourhood. We sit at the same end of Sydney's Upper North Shore, share the same gum-tree feel, and run small enough that every educator knows every child well.

Why Willoughby families choose us

A small, steady preschool community.

A cap of 40 children

Every educator knows every child. With a cap of 40 across two rooms, every educator knows your child within days. For Willoughby families, the leafy setting matches the character of their own neighbourhood.

Educators who stay for years

Our senior educators have been here since 2014 and 2017. Anna has been Director at Roseville since 2009, and with Eikoh Seminar Australia since 2002. Willoughby families often tell us they came back to us for a second child for that reason.

A real outdoor space

A generous playground under established gum trees, grass to run on, a cubby house, and a sandpit. Children spend a lot of time outside every day, in almost any weather. Willoughby families often arrive familiar with this kind of leafy outdoor setting from their own streets.

What families say

5.0 stars on Google.

On arrival for the tour my daughter immediately warmed to Anna and the calm, welcoming spaces and the fantastic outdoor space under the beautiful trees at Roseville Kindergarten. She felt at ease to play and said “Mumma can I go here?” As a mum I am so grateful to have found Roseville Kindergarten.

Great outdoor play area, engaging rooms and importantly brilliant teachers who are very welcoming. Very very low staff turnover.

I used to think big flashy schools were the way to go, but now I know better. The teachers make all the difference. I don't think you will find a more caring team.
