About the Centre/Service
Friend Street Kindergarten is a sessional kindergarten, run by a parent committee, offering a quality play-based learning program for 3 and 4 year olds run by qualified, highly experienced and dedicated teachers and educators. Our 3 year old group runs from 9-3 on Monday and Fridays. The spacious light-filled playroom overlooks the covered deck area and playground which offers a range of play spaces. There is room to run and ride, play equipment, opportunities to build motor skills and sheltered areas designed for quiet time or role playing games with a friend. Natural play spaces such as the dry creek bed, gardens, mud kitchen and sandpit encourage interactions not only with friends but with natural elements and animals such as insects and bird life promoting discussion and learning about sustainability. Specialist Music, P.E. and Yoga sessions also build the children’s physical, emotional and social skills.
Friend Street Kindergarten is committed to upholding Victoria’s Child Safe Standards. “All children have the right to feel safe and be safe all of the time” (The Commission for children and Young People). This is reflected in the kindergarten’s policies, procedures and programs.
