CENTRE PHILOSOPHY
St Andrew’s Anglican Kindergarten has been operating for over 40 years as a ministry of St Andrew’s Anglican Church and the Anglican Early Childhood Service. The kindergarten aims to provide a quality program based on play. PLAY is the business of childhood which enables children to develop social, emotional, cognitive and physical skills which in turn will prepare them for their future life. Through play, children learn to experiment, create, express themselves and make sense of their world.
