Our services provide families with access to Kindergarten programs in a long day care setting, delivered by a university trained Early Childhood Teacher and offering 15 hours for 4 year old children and up to 15 hours for 3 year old children.

 

Each program is linked to the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework and caters for the whole child ensuring that underlying skills required for school are developing, children have the opportunity to develop self confidence, social skills, self care skills and independence. The programs are developed to help children achieve the individual learning goals, follow the interests, build on community engagement and engage children in age appropriate experiences.
