Mudjimba Community Kindergarten & Preschool

Kindergarten
3.5 years - 5 years

Welcome to Mudjimba Community Kindergarten & Preschool. At Mudjimba Community Kindergarten we value building genuine connections and fostering trust with children, families and community. We place emphasis on the emotional and social development of children, ensuring that their well- being and happiness are central to our educational philosophy. We are deeply committed to embedding a play-based program where children’s voices and interests are respected and listened to. We value children's need to play and recognise it as a fundamental aspect of children's development, where they learn about themselves, their environment, and others. Play is seen as meaningful work that helps children make sense of the world around them.

Our bush surrounds and open spaces are considered a special ‘gift’ to us here at Mudjimba Kindy. We know how important connecting with nature is for our wellbeing and also in gaining understandings around respecting and protecting our natural world, building knowledge about preservation and protection. We strongly believe that interacting with and ‘in’ our bush area is what will develop these genuine, deeper connections and understandings.

We access our back bush area on a regular basis and take the children on excursions to our local beach down the end of our road. How lucky are we to have so much nature on our doorstep!

We have 2 program groups to choose from, so you can enrol your child in a group that best meets your family's needs.

As an affiliated centre of C&K, Mudjimba Community 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.

Programs

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.
