Our story

Learn and Play Kindergarten is family owned and has been operating for over 40 years. We strive to create a loving, caring and stimulating environment, which fosters positive attitudes towards learning, high self-esteem, self-confidence and independence. We aim to make these years some of the best years of your child’s life.

At Learn & Play Kindergarten, we believe that each child is a unique individual with a wealth of prior knowledge and learning that has been influenced by family, social, cultural and community experiences. Our staff respect and value this prior knowledge and learning ensuring that programming planning builds on this shared information between parents and staff. This creates a link between past experiences, familiar cultural practices and future experiences.

We believe that a positive self-concept is the foundation for successful future learning. We are committed to enhancing children’s self-esteem through daily interactions, developmentally appropriate experiences and relationships based on mutual trust and respect. We strive to create a loving, caring and stimulating environment, which fosters positive attitudes towards learning, high self-esteem, self-confidence and independence.

Explore, create and experience

We recognise that play is central to an effective early childhood curriculum. We plan and provide learning experiences that allow children to explore, create, experience, make choices and achieve a sense of independence, we recognise and support each child’s intrinsic motivation, natural curiosity, active involvement and desire to learn more about the world around them.

By providing a comprehensive developmentally appropriate program, staff assist and encourage each child to develop to their highest potential in relation to a strong sense of identity, connecting with and contributing to their world, having a strong sense of wellbeing, being confident and involved learners and effective communicators.
