Shine Bright Kennington Kindergarten 17 Crook Street, Kennington, Victoria 3550

Welcome to Shine Bright Kennington Kindergarten, located at 17 Crook Street in Kennington, Australia. Our kindergarten is a point of interest and a school, dedicated to providing a high-quality educational experience for young children.

At Kennington Kindergarten, we prioritize establishing respectful and caring relationships with both children and families. We believe that parents, caregivers, and extended family members are the primary influencers in a child's learning and development. By recognizing and respecting each child's personal, family, and cultural history, we create an inclusive environment that supports their growth.

Our dedicated team of educators is committed to advocating for the rights of every child. We value their views and feelings, striving to build warm and trusting relationships with each child. These relationships, along with our educators' support, help children develop new skills, build social and emotional connections, and gain confidence in exploring their environment.

We understand the importance of play in a child's development. Play stimulates and engages children intellectually, physically, socially, and creatively. Our educators actively observe and participate in children's play to extend their learning and engage in meaningful conversations. We also embrace sustainable practices and recognize the environment as a valuable teacher, integrating child-directed play, guided play, and intentional teaching into our programs.

At Kennington Kindergarten, we believe that every child has the ability to learn and develop to their full potential. We have high expectations for each child and provide individualized opportunities and support to ensure their success. Our programs align with the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework, ensuring a comprehensive educational experience.

What sets our kindergarten apart is our incredible surroundings. We have embraced nature play, allowing children to explore the beautiful nature right at our doorstep. Our safe and stimulating indoor and outdoor environments are designed to build on children's culture, strengths, interests, and knowledge.

As professionals, we collaborate with other teachers and educators to support families during transitions to other services and schools. We understand that these transitions can be exciting and play an active role in preparing families for these events. We also prioritize our own professional development, continuously improving our knowledge and skills to better serve our families and their children.

Shine Bright Kennington Kindergarten is part of Shine Bright Early Years Management, a not-for-profit community-based organization. With a focus on children and families, we manage 36 kindergartens in Central and Northern Victoria, catering to both large and small rural towns.

We are proud to be affiliated with ACECQA, DET, VEYLDF, National EYL Framework, Early Childhood Australia, Play Australia, and Playgroup Victoria. These partnerships reflect our commitment to providing the best possible early childhood education and care.
