Kangaroo Ground Preschool

Welcome to Kangaroo Ground Preschool, located at 20 Graham Road in Kangaroo Ground, Australia. We are an establishment that is dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for all children. Our commitment to promoting the right to safety for our most vulnerable minorities sets us apart.

Exciting changes are happening at Kangaroo Ground Preschool in 2024. We will be increasing our funded hours for the 3-year-old group, offering 15 hours of funded (free) kinder per week. Additionally, our 4-year-old group will continue to receive 15 hours of funded (free) kinder per week.

For families looking for even more flexibility, we offer an optional extra afternoon session on Thursdays from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm for an additional fee of $300 per term. This allows families to access 18 hours of kinder per week, providing three full days of kinder for 4-year-olds.

Our Thursday morning session is our popular "Explorer" session. During this session, we take the children offsite to our bush block located on the left-hand side of the community oval. We also explore the grounds of the primary school. This session encourages children to connect with nature, engage in bush craft, climb trees, and challenge their gross motor skills. They will have the opportunity to observe the abundance of wildlife, identify different animal scat, and learn about the flora and fauna in their surroundings.

At Kangaroo Ground Preschool, we prioritize the health and safety of all our children. We comply with the government's "No Jab No Play" legislation, and supporting documentation of your child's immunization status will be required upon enrollment. For more information on this topic, please visit www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au.

In addition to our preschool program, children have the opportunity to access the Out of School Hours Care Program offered through Kangaroo Ground Primary School. This program operates from 7:15 am to 6:00 pm, providing before and after-school care for our preschool families. For more information, please visit the Kangaroo Ground Primary School website at www.kangaroogroundps.vic.edu.au and navigate to the OSHC page.

We also offer a rotational model for our 4-year-old group, allowing children to attend either 15 or 18 hours over three days. The schedule is as follows: Monday and Tuesday from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, Wednesday from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm (Explorer session), with the option of extending until 3:00 pm for an additional cost, and Thursday from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.

Kangaroo Ground Primary School OSHC operates Monday to Thursday from 7:15 am to 9:00 am and 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm. This service is conveniently located adjacent to our preschool.

We pride ourselves on being a friend of Kangaroo Ground Primary School and believe in building a community together. Join us at Kangaroo Ground Preschool and give your child the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe and supportive environment.
