About our kindy
Welcome to Kent Street Community Kindergarten. Established in 1963, Kent Street Community Kindergarten provides a nurturing, engaging and stimulating education and care environment. Our dedicated teaching professionals understand the importance of the early years and have knowledge and experience to ensure each child reaches their full potential.
Kent Street Community Kindergarten takes great pride in the learning environment. We believe in the importance of providing a welcoming space that reflects and enriches the interests and identities of the children, families, educators and our community. We believe that our environment and the open ended materials on offer cater to varying learning capabilities, styles and interests. Our outdoor natural environment provides a natural space where children can explore, imagine, construct, collaborate and learn.
Kent Street Community Kindergarten offers an interactive play-based playgroup for families with babies, toddlers and kindy aged children. Set in our natural environment, we offer a fun, friendly and relaxed playgroup with a regular routine, fully enclosed outdoor play area and a range of organised activities run by a highly experienced educator. The program operates fortnightly in terms 1, 2 and 3 on Wednesdays from 9:00am to 11:00am.
