mi kids is a family owned Warriewood daycare, child-care centre and pre-school located at 137 Warriewood Road, only a few minutes drive from Narrabeen on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
We serve families in Narrabeen, the Northern Beaches and beyond. Our educators provide a nurturing, happy and stimulating learning environment for children from six weeks old to when they start school. Our centre provides children and families quality care and education within a warm, welcoming, nurturing and enjoyable environment. We celebrate all types of learners – ensuring each child feels valued and encouraged to develop to their full potential.
Following Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligence, mi kids embraces the different learning styles of each child through the physical environment and through our daily programs, expressing learning opportunities in multiple ways through music, bodily kinesthetics, mathematics, visual, verbal, nature and group experiences.
We offer and are committed to thoughtful and meaningful programs that are based on the diversity of learners in our school and work together with community groups and families to pursue excellence through collaborative and reflective teaching practices. Through a nurturing environment we put children’s rights first and give each child a sense of belonging, being and becoming. Celebrating diversity, culturally and intellectually within the child, the family and the community.
Babies
In the nursery we focus on reaching physical milestones like crawling, standing, grasping and walking by providing many opportunities for autonomy, like assisted self-feeding, flowerbeds and seats in the purpose built nursery playground where they can pull up on their own and stand and take steps.

Toddlers
In our Toddler Room we focus on developing self-help and social skills such as communication, verbal and non verbal cues and emotional skills, labeling their feelings and displaying empathy. Ultimately giving our toddlers the tools to move on to the preschool room with confidence, happiness and success. To achieve this we will start introducing some structured formal teacher directed sessions, daily reading sessions and sessions that develop their fine and gross motor skills using tools and creating projects .
Toddlers will have the opportunity to access both nursery and preschool playgrounds depending on their gross motor development. More information about our toddler childcare program »
Pre-schoolers
Both our preschool room and the upper playground are set up with Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligence, in mind where there are eight learning style areas with each area focused on one of the learning styles. The main objective is to encourage enjoyable and engaging environments that will assist in the children’s social and emotional development and autonomy.
