CENTRE PHILOSOPHY
Children are encouraged to explore, create and use their imaginations through open-ended play experiences. We plan our program to enable every child to develop to their full potential and provide learning experiences to ensure that they acquire the skills needed to start school.
We place a great deal of importance on caring for the environment, healthy living and eating and also have a SunSmart policy.
We cater for a large range of nationalities and also plan and program to include children with a range of special needs. All staff are trained in first aid, asthma management and anaphylaxis.
We are a double unit kindergarten offering four 4 year old groups and two 3 year old groups, giving parents a large range of times and choices of playgrounds, rooms and teachers for their child.
We are situated in a very safe location, away from busy streets, and have high fences, an alarm and a door buzzer for security.
