4 Year Old Kindergarten is fully funded by the Victorian Government, meaning there are no fees for your child’s kindergarten place.

Kindergarten follows the Victorian School Term Dates.

Our Combined Program

Our 3 Year Old Kindergarten program runs alongside our 4 Year Old Kindergarten program, allowing children to learn and play together in a supportive, mixed-age environment.

The program is led by three experienced educators: a highly experienced Bachelor-qualified Kindergarten Teacher and two Diploma-qualified Educators.

The Benefits of Learning Together

Our combined 3 and 4 year old program provides many benefits for children:

• Strong relationships: Children build lasting relationships with the same educators across their two years of kindergarten.

• Individualised learning: Educators develop a deep understanding of each child, allowing them to support their individual interests, strengths and learning needs.

• Learning from each other: Younger children benefit from the experiences and leadership of older children, while 4 year olds develop confidence, responsibility and leadership skills.

• Rich social learning: Mixed-age play supports communication, social skills, language development and collaboration.

• More educator support: Three educators within the learning environment provide greater opportunities for individual attention, guidance and meaningful interactions.

• Indoor and outdoor learning: Our indoor/outdoor program gives children the freedom to explore, engage in active play, or enjoy quiet, self-directed experiences at their own pace.
