Kindergarten

• ​Children learn through play and exploration in a safe, caring, yet structured and challenging learning environment.The program covers all areas of development, including:
• Social interaction
• Fine and gross motor skills
• Language and literacy development
• Dramatic and social play
• Creative and expressive art
• ​Each week the children participate in an alternating Music and Dance program or the Sportsbuzz program, and Children's Rainbow Yoga sessions, providing extra stimulation, further enriching their development. The kindergarten program works toward the continual development of self-confidence, cooperation, self-esteem and independence in group situations as well as respect for one another.
• The program will also introduce kinder concepts such as mat/group time and turn taking. Children are encouraged to develop and improve their independence skills and will undertake school readiness activities.

Kindergarten

• Two qualified early childhood professionals, with the addition of a Certificate 111 trained Childcare Assistant oversee all groups.  They combine experience and enthusiasm to develop a program built on observing and understanding each child’s needs. From observations and linking these to the 'Early Years Framework', teachers plan experiences to enable each child to reach their full potential. ​
