Government Funded 3-5 Years Old Kindergarten Program
Our 3-5 years old Kindergarten Program runs at least 15 hours per week 9am - 4.30pm and is integrated into Long Day Care. We have regular outings to the park as part of our Bush Kinder/Outdoor Program. Our Little ones (babies through to 2 years old) also join in with our Kindergarten Program as we believe that quality learning starts right from birth. Children at our Centre enjoy these regular ou
Our Kinders are always challenged and extended to reach their maximum potentials. Here, they are practising to draw and paint Christmas themes on Calico fabric before they paint their real t-shirt for their End of Year Christmas Concert.
We are big on literacy learning, so we have daily story time before rest/sleep. Story time is essential in helping children to develop their speaking, reading and writing skills.
What our Kindergarten Program Offers
Free Piano lessons in the later half of the year. Here our 3 and 4 year old Kinders are taught to play Happy Birthday on the piano.
Knowing how to use scissors is one of the fine motor skills that is important for Primary School. They get lots of practice when they are under 3, using non-sharp scissors with playdough.
We use Reading Eggs to engage them with learning to read. In the second half of the year, they borrow books to practice reading at home.
Parents are the main educators so we always link their learning with home. Here, our 4 year old Kinder is happy to be borrowing books to take home to read.
Writing and reading take practise. Our Kinders practise writing weekly.
Our Kinders also receive one-on-one reading sessions with our educators.
