Story

This page is about celebrating children's learning with friends and family and the wider community.

Our kindergarten is a community based not for profit learning environment where children lead their own learning within a play based curriculum.

As an Enviroschool, we are committed to promoting kaitiakitanga (guardianship) of the kindergarten and the wider community.

Our teachers are 100% qualifed and registered with vast experience in the Early Childhood/Kindergarten sector.

Our kindergarten association van enables us to enjoy regular excursions with our children to experience and build knowledge about their local community.

We have a range of specialist teachers who visit us regularly to extend children's learning in areas such as music and movement, yoga, and gymnastics.

We operate an open door policy where families are more than welcome to visit us at any time. We look forward to welcoming new children and families throughout the year.

"We are an Enviroschools Kindergarten which inspires respectful, responsive and inquisitive learners in partnership with children, families and communities.Our program is a combination of children’s emergent interests and teacher led learning opportunities.We recognise and value children’s individuality and learning styles and see diversity as a strength to be celebrated.A special feature of our kindergarten is the wide range of learning experiences offered to our children and families both in and outside of the kindergarten.Our extensive outdoor environment provides children with rich opportunities to engage in hands on, active exploration of the natural world.Visitors are always welcome so feel free to come in and see us."
