Welcome to Maclagan Windermere Community Kindergarten. A place where play takes centre stage in your child’s education and where children are given time to explore, discover and learn! Maclagan Windermere Kindergarten was founded in 1970 as a non-profit community educational centre. The Kindergarten premises are kindly donated by the late Mr James Monaghan whose overwhelming generosity of the use of the building.

Our centre is celebrated for its grounds and beautiful outdoor and indoor play areas. Spaces are designed to allow your child to explore, pretend, reflect, run and play - all the essentials for a happy childhood. Maclagan Windermere Kindergarten provides access to quality early education and care in a supportive community environment to children from Maclagan, Acland, Quinalow, Kaimkillenbun, Peranga, Kulpi, Cooyar, Evergreen and surrounding areas. Our qualified and dedicated professional staff work in partnership with parents in a caring, safe and inspiring environment to provide experiences that lay the foundations for life-long learning.

We are a one-program kindy offering free kindy and free pre-kindy for three-year-olds.

As an affiliated centre of C&K, Maclagan Windermere Kindergarten receives support from C&K as the Central Governing Body but operates as an independent incorporated association managed by a volunteer management committee. Centres affiliated with C&K receive comprehensive support in governance, including managing kindergarten and inclusion funding, training for committees and educators, advice and support regarding inclusion, use of the C&K brand, curriculum approach and resource materials.

All our kindergartens deliver C&K's quality kindergarten program. Kindergarten, also known as pre-prep or preschool, is a program for children who are turning 4 by June 30 in the year before they attend school. C&K’s kindy programs are government-approved and led by experienced and university qualified teachers. Our program supports children’s curiosity, creativity, problem solving, resilience and real-world knowledge and skills.

At C&K, we know that children do not learn in isolation, so we approach learning as a collaborative relationship between teachers, educators, children and families. We believe children are powerful learners, active citizens, thinkers and theorisers - this is at the heart of our early childhood curriculum. We've designed our indoor and outdoor spaces to ignite imaginations and nurture healthy minds and bodies. Learning through play is an integral part of our education program. Our educators skilfully enrich and extend children's play
experiences, creating a learning program that is tailored and meaningful for your child.

Your child’s learning journey is shared with you via conversations with your child’s educators, through written documentation and through Storypark (an app and website).
