Our kindergartens provide a safe and welcoming environment where your child:
- Is supported to make friends with other children
- Experiences a learning programme based around his or her interests
- Feels comfortable – and has FUN!
All of our kindergartens feature large outdoor and indoor environments, providing a variety of spaces and resources for your child to explore and discover.
Our community and the cultural background of our families is important and you will see this reflected in the learning environment. This makes each kindergarten unique and welcoming.
