About the Centre/Service

We provide one three year old program and two four year old programs in a traditional sessional format. Despite the kinder's age, it has the benefit of being located in beautiful modern facilities with an inviting playspace and garden which is much loved by our children. The kinder is operated by a parent-run Committee who have procedures embedded to help truly value their employees and create a positive work culture.
At Doncaster Kindergarten we believe that all children have the right to experience the wonder of childhood, to grow and to investigate through rich quality play in a warm and respectful environment which reflects the diversity of our community. Our teachers and educators play a vital role in this.
