Newhaven Kindergarten

Welcome to Newhaven Kindergarten, located in the beautiful town of Newhaven, Australia. Our kindergarten is co-located with Newhaven Primary School, creating a seamless educational journey for your child.

At Newhaven Kindergarten, we provide a bright and inviting environment for young learners within our community. Our brand new facility offers natural outdoor spaces and engaging play areas that cater to the needs of active children.

Our qualified and experienced educators understand the importance of their role in shaping the lives of every child. We strive to create a warm and welcoming environment, working closely with families to ensure that children are happy, healthy, and enthusiastic about learning. Through play-based learning opportunities, we empower children to achieve positive outcomes in their development, guided by the Victorian Early Years Learning Framework.

Throughout the kindergarten year, your child will have the opportunity to explore, experiment, and discover essential skills that will pave the way for their future. Our connection with the community allows children to celebrate diversity, develop respect for themselves and others, and gain confidence and valuable skills.

We are passionate about fostering children's connections with the natural environment and promoting respect for all living things. Our educational program also embraces First Nation's perspectives and diversity of culture.

Newhaven Kindergarten proudly operates under Department of Education approval and is a recognized funded kindergarten program. We proudly display the Kinder Tick, ensuring families that our program meets the necessary standards and offers exciting excursions, a rich curriculum, and a strong emphasis on diversity and inclusivity.

We utilize Storypark to connect educators with parents, keeping them informed about news, updates, and exciting moments from kinder to home. Our outdoor play areas are designed to encourage learning, exploration, and discovery.

Safeguarding children is our top priority, and we are committed to providing safe and fun environments for children to flourish. Our kindergarten's philosophy is informed by the National Quality Framework and guides our teaching and daily practices.

At Newhaven Kindergarten, we believe in the power of inspired young people, and there is no better time to begin inspiring than in an Early Learning program.
