Echidna Kindergarten group ( 4-5 yrs )

Echidna Kindergarten group ( 4-5 yrs )

The Echidna room caters for a maximum of 15 children each day.

Our program is designed and led by a Bachelor degree qualified early childhood teacher and a diploma-qualified educator.  The kindergarten program operates over five days per week and all children in the Echidna room can participate in the kindergarten program.

We endeavor to provide a rich learning environment based on the interests of the child, viewed as capable, creative and naturally curious people.  We recognize that children have their own unique learning styles and will, therefore, develop at their own pace, so our program is strength-based and promotes a love of learning.

While the clock does not bind us strictly, our routines do follow in a predictable sequence to enable the children to experience a rhythm to their day.  Children are given choices and empowered to make some decisions for themselves.

We offer a flexible indoor-outdoor program. We actively encourage and seek a collaborative partnership with the families of the children in our care.
