3 Year Old Kindergarten Programs

3-Year-Old-Kindergarten-Readiness-Checklist

Our 3-year-old kindergarten programs, Acacia and Banksia, focuses on introducing the children a world of learning through play. For some children, this will be their first experience of early learning, while for others it will be a move to kindergarten from a different setting. This is a big step that allows them to begin building their independence and learn how to be a part of a group. 

Our programs are child-led and play-based with intentional teaching implemented to foster the needs and interests of the children. We have a strong focus on supporting our 3-year old children in developing resilience, emotional regulation and social skills to feel happy and confident in their classroom. Literacy and numeracy are embedded in the learning program, alongside many more areas to provoke a curiosity for learning.

Our focus in the 3-year-old kindergarten programs is to foster the enjoyment of learning, build connections with others and for the children be confident in their own abilities, allowing them to become life long learners.
