3 Year Old Program

We are dedicated to providing a safe, welcoming, and stimulating environment for children in our 3-year-old kindergarten program. We have a maximum of 22 children in each group with one teacher and one educator. Some groups may have one teacher and two educators.

 

In 2025 and 2026, children will attend two days per week, for five hours each day, a total of 10 hours per week.

  • The Koalas program runs from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm

  • The Joeys program runs from 9:15 am to 2:15 pm

 

At our kindergarten, we create a fun and interactive space where children begin their joyful journey of learning and discovery. We believe strongly in the power of play-based learning, where children naturally develop skills like sharing, turn-taking, and cooperation.

 

We know that children learn best when they feel supported, safe, and connected. That’s why we work in close partnership with families, keeping communication open and building strong, trusting relationships. A favourite tradition is our ‘Stay and Play helper’ sessions in Terms 2 and 3, where parents are invited to join their child’s kinder day for as little or as long as they wish.

 

Our teachers act as guides and facilitators, observing each child closely and supporting their individual growth across the emotional, social, cognitive, and physical domains.

 

Through everyday experiences, children build essential social, emotional, and problem-solving skills, helping them to form positive relationships and become confident learners.

​

At our kindergarten, every moment is an opportunity for growth, and we are here to support both children and their families through this exciting and important stage of development.

 

Throughout the year, we also offer a range of in-house professional experiences, designed to enhance learning and respond to the children’s emerging interests. These experiences vary each year and may include visits from companies such as:

  • Wiggerly Worm

  • Glittery Tapping Dance Mordialloc

  • Patterson Lakes Swim School

  • Drama Toolbox

  • Trish from Aboriginal Learning & Earth Connections

  • Wildlife Xposure

... and more!

Let’s explore, discover, and grow together!
