CENTRE PHILOSOPHY
At Ridgeway Parade Kindergarten we provide a kindergarten program that caters for individual needs, interests and skills within a safe and secure environment.
We encourage the children to be independent but also to feel part of a supportive environment in which each child is encouraged to socialise with other children and have many opportunities to grow in all areas of development.
We also actively encourage parents to be a part of the kindergarten environment/program and feel welcome within the setting.
But above all we want the children to be happy and enjoy their kindergarten experience.
