J S Grey Reserve Kindergarten

Children begin kindergarten with their own ideas, questions, values, opinions, cultures and family backgrounds. By respecting this, enduring and strong relationships between children and adults can be developed. This enables each child to feel safe, secure, respected, happy and nurtured as an individual. We include all members and respect each child’s rights and dignity within our community.

The Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Curriculum underpin our play-based programs. Within this nurturing and play based environment, educators will empower and support children’s sense of identity, community, well-being, learning and communication. We believe children’s self-esteem and confidence is integral to all aspects of their learning and development and pride ourselves on offering an indoor/outdoor program that promotes children’s sense of independence.

The roles of parents and community members within the program are highly valued. The kindergarten is a parent run centre that values parent support and welcomes members of our community to become involved in our centre. This provides children and their families with a sense of belonging and links strong connections between the kindergarten and home life.
