Kindergarten Information Sessions
We host quarterly Kindergarten Information Sessions for parents and guardians. These sessions serve to inform families about how we run our Kindergarten program, how we prepare children for school, and set expectations for our Kindergarten program.
The sessions offer an opportunity for parents to meet teachers, ask questions, and build relationships with centre staff. We aim to create a sense of trust and community between ourselves and families, ensuring that you are well-informed and confident in your child’s educational journey.
Our Commitment to Your Child
Our utmost priority is to create a fulfilling and enjoyable journey for your child. We are committed to nurturing their emotional growth, celebrating their uniqueness, and cherishing their individuality while they are in our care.
The play-based learning within our Approved Kindergarten Program not only readies children for school but also cultivates essential life skills that will serve them throughout their lives.
We are looking forward to a great year full of fun experiences with your child!
