Longwarry Kindergarten

Welcome to Longwarry Kindergarten, a friendly and inclusive institution located at Ford Place in Longwarry, Australia. At our establishment, we strive to create a welcoming environment where all children and families feel valued and supported.

We understand the importance of building strong relationships with children, families, and the community to ensure positive outcomes for each child. Our goal is to foster a sense of wonder, enthusiasm, and a love of learning in every child as they embark on their educational journey.

Our play spaces are designed to be irresistible and encourage curiosity, providing children with choices to engage in exploration. By incorporating children's strengths and interests into our program and environments, we aim to enhance learning and active participation.

We firmly believe in the power of play-based learning, as it supports children in becoming competent and confident learners. As a testament to our commitment to quality education, Longwarry Kindergarten proudly displays the Kinder Tick, signifying that our program is recognized as a funded kindergarten program.

Excursions are an integral part of our curriculum, allowing children to explore and discover different spaces outside of the kinder. These experiences provide excitement and help children feel connected to their community.

Our diverse curriculum incorporates music, play, and discussions, enabling children to gain a deeper understanding of cultures and beliefs from around the world. Through a range of activities, we aim to broaden their horizons and foster a sense of global awareness.

To keep parents involved and informed, we utilize Storypark, a platform that connects our educators with families. This allows us to share news, service updates, progress, and exciting moments from kinder to home.

Our indoor and outdoor play areas are thoughtfully designed to encourage learning and exploration. Specially created spaces provide plenty of room for children to move, learn, and play.

Safeguarding children is of utmost importance to us. We are dedicated to providing safe and fun environments where children can flourish and thrive.

Our kindergarten's philosophy is guided by the National Quality Framework and informs all of our teaching practices and daily operations. For a detailed understanding of our philosophy, please request a copy of our Philosophy Statement.

With over 20 years of experience, the Y has been delivering Early Learning Programs and is passionate about creating safe, fun, and educational environments where children can thrive. We believe in the power of inspiring young minds, and there is no better time to begin inspiring than in an Early Learning program.
