Forestview Community Kindergarten

Kindergarten
3.5 years - 5 years

Welcome to Forestview 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.

Our passionate teachers and teaching assistants are highly qualified and experienced. They are experts in teaching children from 3 to 5 years and establish a love of life-long learning.

Our purpose-built building and expansive outdoor play spaces are designed to nurture children’s development in a caring community environment.

Children have the stability of the same teachers and the same children attending kindy every day of their attendance. This allows us to offer continuity and extension of learning for each child, from one day to the next.

Our mission at Forestview Community Kindergarten is to provide children with a play-enriched environment and build partnerships with families and the community. We strive for high quality early childhood education and care where we support children to become life-long learners.

Having educated over 2,500 children since its establishment over 50 years ago, we provide the highest quality education and care to the Bundaberg community.

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, Forestview 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.
