Our Kinder Programs

Tailored developmental learning curriculums for young learners.

3-Year-Old Kinder

Our 3-year-old program features flexible timetables run over two days, using a gentle orientation and staggered start in Term 1 to help children smoothly transition.

Through secure, play-based learning, our educators nurture independence, social confidence, and cognitive skillsโ€”giving your child the perfect foundation to discover, grow, and transition into 4-year-old kinder.

4-Year-Old Kinder

At our Year Two campus we offer a rotational model, complemented by a collaborative team-teaching approach. Learners will attend in small, consistent groups on regular days, fostering familiarity and friendship while also providing opportunities for varied social experiences.

Each room will have two Early Childhood Teachers working together to plan and develop the curriculum across the week, with one ECT present each day to deliver the program. This model allows for thoughtful, responsive teaching while maintaining continuity and a strong sense of belonging for each learner.

Bush Kinder

Bush kinder programs are educational sessions for children that take place outdoors in nature allowing children to engage in a variety of activities that are typically not available in a traditional kindergarten setting.

Bush Kinder offers a wide range of benefits that support learnersโ€™ physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development. Time in nature encourages active play, builds resilience, confidence, and independence, and promotes creativity and problem-solving. It also fosters social skills as learners collaborate and negotiate with peers in shared outdoor experiences. Most importantly, it nurtures a deep connection with the natural world, encouraging lifelong respect and care for the environment.
