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.
