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 Sportzbuzz program, and Children's Rainbow Yoga sessions, providing extra stimulation and 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 pre-school 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.

Qualified Early Learning Childhood Educators, with additional CERT 111 trained assistants oversee all our Pre-School Programs.
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.
