Our philosophy

We have a lot of exciting programmes to offer your child here at kindy. Our kindy children learn through exploration, fun, play and interactions with their peers.

All children are given the opportunity to participate in all of our curriculum areas, these include music, science, books, literacy, dramatic play, physical activities, technology activities, and pre reading and writing.

We have a separate room which is used for our transition to school children. The transition to school room encourages the children to become familiar with routines and structured learning by participating in activities as structured by the teachers. Children are encouraged to participate in group discussion, appropriate classroom behaviour such as turn taking and to develop listening skills while being respectful to others.

Literacy skills are extended through the use of a fun initiative called ‘the homework bucket’. This is based around letterlinks.
