3 Year Old Half-day Kindergarten

Kangaroos group

Kangaroos group has an emphasis on having fun while learning to share and co-operate with each other in a happy, safe, relaxed, well structured educational environment. This allows each child the time, space and support to experience and develop in their own individual way. The program is developed around each child’s individual needs as well as stimulating and encouraging a ‘hands-on’ environment. This program helps develop their everyday skills and is as a wonderful transition to 4 Year Old Kindergarten.

Our principles

At Elonera we practice the principles of The Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework. For more details, please read here. The Victorian Framework uses five outcomes to describe the key elements of children’s learning and development. These are:

  • Identity — Children have a strong sense of identity.

  • Community — Children are connected with and contribute to their world.

  • Wellbeing — Children have a strong sense of wellbeing.

  • Learning — Children are confident and involved learners.

  • Communication — Children are effective communicators.
