Our Kindergarten Program:
At Kindy, children are continuing to learn through play. Interests guide the program interweaving literacy, science, and maths concepts. We respect nature and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians. The children create agreements to develop pro social behaviours and a sense of belonging and support children’s independence and self-help skills. Our outdoor space provides opportunities to run, jump, climb, slide, and balance. We discover birds, bugs, and bees, climb trees, and create concoctions and dams in the mud-pit and sandpit.
