At Kurralta Park Community Kindergarten our priorities are to meet the needs of all children and ensure good teaching practices in a happy and safe learning environment. Inclusion of all, community involvement and good facilities are important to our work.

We believe that parents are a child’s first teachers and so when your child enters Kindergarten it is important that we work in partnership with you.

Children learn best when they are active participants. Our program is based on learning through play so that children can practice the skills they will need for life. We encourage the children to develop:- a positive self esteem, be curious, problem solve, social skills, communication skills, health and physical skills. We believe we provide a stimulating and challenging program where children learn through play.

We endeavour to provide a safe, caring, nurturing environment in partnership with parents and carers so that children will reach their full potential. One of our curriculum tools is theEarly Years Learning Framework – Reflect, Respect, Relate, Oral Language Framework and Pre-school Screening Tool. We focus on particular learning areas each term as well as bringing in current focus areas of interest, eg. Book Week, Science Week etc.

Our curriculum document is available to parents, please ask a staff member. Our program is displayed near the entrance on the parent notice board. Our newsletter often includes information about the program and coming events, eg. excursions, photo days, visitors etc.
