About The Service

KU Treehouse is our vibrant and unique service located inside the Stockland building on Castlereagh Street in Sydney’s CBD. 

Conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from Gadigal Metro Station, our service is truly one-of-a-kind, featuring a stunning rooftop atrium that fills the space with natural light and a beautiful ‘secret forest’ play area, where children immerse themselves in the wonders of nature. 

With sandpits to explore, water play, and leafy plants, our space is designed to inspire creativity, exploration, and a deep connection to the environment. We are passionate about sustainability, striving to limit plastic usage and create an eco-conscious environment for both children and staff.

At KU Treehouse, we focus on nurturing children’s appreciation for the natural world while integrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural perspectives as a foundation for sustainable practices and environmental respect.
