3 Year Olds – Kangaroos
The 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.
From 2022, we are proud to offer two 3 year old kindergarten groups, with 22 additional places. There will be the option of two half day sessions (3 hours each) or a single session of 5 hours. Find out more at our Open Day on Sunday, May 2 at 10am.
