About Us

The unique DNA of this preschool began in 1997.

For over 20 years the previous owner operators of The Owl & The Pussycat on Collaroy Plateau developed a beautiful community, laying down the foundations for a small and dynamic centre.

In 2018, they passed over the privilege of running The Owl & The Pussycat to the family team of Sam Young, Chloe Young, and Julian Owens. Sam and Chloe have four young children, and Julian three adult children and nine grandchildren.

They each carry the same desire for The Owl & The Pussycat to focus on providing the highest quality educational experiences during our children’s earliest years. Seeking passionate and experienced staff, providing creative interest-led play-based learning opportunities, and for every family involved to have a voice in how The Owl & The Pussycat continues to thrive.

It was with great joy that we opened our second centre, The Owl & the Pussycat Warriewood, in July 2021, catering to families needing longer hours for the full age range of 0-6 years, with the same The Owl & The Pussycat ethos and values.
