We provide an integrated, funded 4 year old Kindergarten session within our Long Daycare Program, catering for 20 children per day from 4 to 6 years.

The KInder Program is offered each Monday through Thursday during school terms from 8:30am - 1:30PM children attending the service for the purpose of either Long Daycare or Kindergarten enjoy the benefits of the program, which is delivered by a fully Qualified pre-school teacher and supported each afternoon by a fully Qualified Early Chidlhood Professional.

There is focus on a broad range of developmental skills that contribute to a successful transition to Primary school, with an understanding that every child possesses a varying array of strength, competencies and interests. We offer a simultaneous indoor/outdoor program, allowing children the choice (weather depending) of engaging with the experiences provided in either area. A range of small and large group experiences occur incidentally across the day.

All meals are freshly prepared on the premises each day. Our service is conscious of the importance of providing variety and a nutritionally balanced approach to the menu. we provide for all dietary requirements.

Importantly, we understand that young children learn about their world most effectively, through exploration, creation, imagination and discovery. we honour the right of every child to do what comes most naturally to them and that is to learn through PLAY. We are situated in a peaceful, low traffic zone and to observe our Preschool program in action.
