Wonthaggi North Kindergarten

Welcome to Wonthaggi North Kindergarten, located on White Road in the beautiful town of Wonthaggi, Australia. Our establishment is not just a school, but a point of interest and a place where children can explore, learn, and grow in a safe and innovative environment.

At Wonthaggi North Kindergarten, we believe in the power of play-based learning. Our programs are designed to promote exploration, independence, and creativity, both indoors and outdoors. We follow the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework and the National Quality Framework, ensuring that our programs are of the highest standard. Our qualified and highly experienced educators are passionate about their role in shaping the lives of every child who walks through our doors.

We understand that every child is unique and has their own individual and group interests. Our programs aim to build on these interests, providing a solid foundation for the development of literacy and numeracy skills. Throughout their time at our kindergarten, children will have the opportunity to explore, experiment, discover, and gain essential skills that will prepare them for the journey of life.

Community is an integral part of our kindergarten. Through their connection with the community, children will celebrate diversity, grow in their respect for themselves and others, and gain confidence and skills. We take pride in displaying the Kinder tick, which assures families that our program is recognized and funded by the government.

We offer free 3 and 4-year-old kindergarten programs, with our programs running for 15 hours a week. With multiple groups available, families have the flexibility to choose a group that best suits their needs. We also organize excursions and incursions to provide children with new experiences and enhance their learning and development.

Our kindergarten has its own vegetable garden, where children learn about growing, harvesting, and cooking healthy food. We also utilize Storypark, a platform that connects educators with parents, allowing us to share news, updates, and exciting moments from kindergarten to home.

Our outdoor play areas are designed to encourage learning and exploration in the natural environment. From sensory paths to mud kitchens, large lawn areas, and a fort, children have ample opportunities to engage with nature and develop their physical and cognitive skills.

The safety and well-being of children are of utmost importance to us. We are committed to creating safe and fun environments where children can flourish. Our kindergarten's philosophy guides our teaching and approach to early learning, and it is informed by the National Quality Framework.
