Three Year Old Kinder

3 year old Kinder is a play-based program available as a pre-kinder option. Curriculum content is based on the Victorian Early Years Framework.  It is an opportunity for children to interact with their peers in a group situation away from their parents and usual carers.

The aim of the program is not the same as in more formal pre-school sessions.  Through first hand play experiences children will have the opportunity to:

          . Play with other children and relate to other adults

          . Begin to belong to a group

          . Become more independent and self confident

          . Begin to learn the concepts of turn taking and negotiating

          . Experience a variety of materials and activities

          . Learn through watching, doing and listening.

Although Little Kinder is not as formal as Pre-School, it is still a developmentally planned program keeping in mind group and individual requirements of the children.

There are 2 sessions which run for 3 hours per session.

Little Kinder is not subsidised by Government therefore, parents must pay.
