Welcome to Merriwa Kindergarten. We are located in newly landscaped grounds, next door to Kingsville Primary School in Yarraville

We run two funded four-year-old groups, and a three-year-old group, catering for up to eighty families each year.
Vision:

Merriwa Kindergarten’s programs are based on the belief that children learn best from play-based experiences that are child-initiated, child-directed and adult supported.

We aim to provide your child with an educational program that is exciting and stimulating, bringing out each child’s full potential. We value children’s creativity and self-expression, and strongly believe that each child is unique with a valuable contribution to make.

We respect the dignity of each child, and provide a program that embraces the cultural backgrounds of our families.

We understand the equal value of indoor and outdoor play, and that children have different learning styles.

Our aim is for each child’s Kindergarten experience to be happy, enriching and positive.

Merriwa Kindergarten acknowledges the original owners of our grounds, the Wurundjeri people.

We follow the Australian Early Childhood Association Code of Ethics, and comply with all relevant Government Legislation and Regulations.

Merriwa is Koori for ‘A HAPPY PLACE’
