About St Lucia Kindergarten

St Lucia Kindergarten is a not-for-profit community Kindergarten, first established in 1948.

At St Lucia Kindergarten, we believe that children learn best when they are engaged in active, child-led play.

Our teachers and educators provide varied opportunities for learning through an inviting, yet challenging, environment in our well-resourced classrooms and large natural outdoor areas.

Our key focus is building secure and respectful relationships with all children and families. We are proud to have such a wonderful diverse community and celebrate the many cultures and languages of our families.

    my favourite place !

  • Ana Dobsonabout 1 year ago

    As an immigrant to Australia, I didn't know how huge the differences in educational quality were between daycare-based 'kindy' and the C&K 'sessional' Kindy. They really are WORLDS apart. St Lucia Kindy is a humming ecosystem with heart, a place where my unique kid feels safe and has blossomed into his own rad self. The educators are highly educated, and this is their career rather than a job. They invest in the kids and it really shows. The support staff create a strong sense of community and make it a thoroughly enjoyable and easy task to be a kindy parent. The crazy high retention rate of teachers and support staff is testament to the quality of the culture here. My kid is exploding with interests and ideas since he joined St Lucia Kindy, and I can directly see how their play based curriculum has got him there. We are so grateful to be part of this pocket of childhood utopia that has somehow survived and is thriving!
