Sessional Kinder
For children who are turning 4 by April 30.
Kindergarten provides an educational program for children in the year prior to school entry in which qualified early childhood teachers and educators work to engage each child in effective learning, promoting communication, thinking, positive relationships, identity and wellbeing. Our curriculum is guided by the Victorian Early Years Learning and/or the National Early Years Learning Framework and the National Quality Framework.
Sessional Kindergarten is offered for 15 hours per week over 2 days. The sessional program follows school term dates and closes over school holidays. A Bachelor-qualified kindergarten teacher and Diploma-qualified educator run our sessional kindergarten program.
Kindergarten is:
• A place where children further develop their social skills and gain a sense of belonging to a broader, diverse community.
• A place that encourages independent thinking.
• A place where children are involved in meaningful learning experiences that encourage active enquiry and investigation.
Integrated Daycare and Kinder
For children turning 4 by April 30. Our integrated kindergarten and long daycare program provides an educational program for children in the year prior to school entry.
Qualified early childhood teachers and educators work to engage each child in effective learning, promoting communication, thinking, positive relationships, identity and wellbeing.
Our curriculum is guided by the Victorian Early Years Learning or/and the National Early Years Learning Frameworks and the National Quality Framework.
The kindergarten program is integrated into the long daycare program so children remain in the same room with the same educators for the full day. The programs operate from 7.30am to 6.00pm with the kindergarten program running from 9.30am to 2.30pm over three days.
We offer rotational kindergarten groups over three days. This means that children attend kindergarten for 15 hours per week, spread across three days. If daycare is also required on other days, your child will attend the Over 3s room.
The kindergarten program runs during schools terms. The long daycare program operates all year, except for a two-week closure period over the Christmas and New Year period.
