Dandenong Primary Kindergarten

Welcome to Dandenong Primary Kindergarten, a vibrant and inclusive institution located at Foster Street, Dandenong, Australia. As an establishment and point of interest in the community, we are dedicated to providing a play-based learning environment that encourages children to thrive and grow in a safe and nurturing space.

At Dandenong Primary Kindergarten, we firmly believe that children learn best through play. Our skilled educators engage with the children in both small and large groups, fostering their social, emotional, thinking, sensory, and physical development. By offering a curriculum that is child-centered and relevant to their life experiences, we aim to challenge and inspire every child.

We are proud to be a part of the rich multicultural community in Dandenong and celebrate diversity in our program. Through learning about different cultures, we strengthen children's identity and understanding, promoting a sense of inclusivity and respect.

To further enhance our curriculum, we take the children on walking tours of our community, visiting significant places such as the school, library, plaza, market, and Heritage Hill. Additionally, we organize various incursions to supplement our program and provide unique learning opportunities.

At Dandenong Primary Kindergarten, the safety and well-being of our staff and children are of utmost importance. As official participants in the SunSmart program, we are committed to keeping our community safe in the sun. We also receive School Readiness Funding, which supports our children and families in their transition to school, ensuring a smooth and seamless journey.

We acknowledge and pay respects to the traditional land of the Bunurong and Wurundjeri People, on which we play and live. We honor the ongoing living cultures of our First Peoples, both past and present.

Building strong relationships with children and families is a core value at our institution. We strive to teach children independence, responsibility, and respect for one another and the environment. Additionally, we are dedicated to providing a safe and secure environment for all children, and our teachers are mandatory reporters who take immediate action in cases of physical or sexual abuse, reporting to the police as necessary.

To encourage language development, we offer a curriculum rich in language experiences, allowing children to develop their English language skills while valuing their home language.

Equity and opportunity for all is our ultimate goal. We are actively working through the government's achievement program for preschools, with two areas already completed. To learn more about our initiatives, please speak to your child's teacher or click HERE.
