Almost all creativity requires purposeful play. –Abraham Maslow
Our Programme.
At Carina Kindy we are proud of our reputation as a quality early childhood centre where children are nurtured in a loving and caring atmosphere.
All families are encouraged to be involved in their child’s education and participate in the management of the centre. This ensures cohesion and friendly cooperation across and between our children, our staff and our wider community. Our role is to ensure that each child cultivates a lifelong love of learning, is reaching their potential and that when they leave our service they are prepared for school and later life.
Our programme offers a choice of operating hours. Choose from either:
2 days a week from 8am to 3.30pm - Monday & Tuesday
2 days a week from 7.50am to 3.30pm - Thursday & Friday
The target age for C&K’s Kindy programme are children who turn four years old by June 30 in the year they attend. (i.e. children in the year immediately prior to the Prep year. see Enrolment Eligibility)
Our Kindergarten programme is play based and driven by the interests of individual children. We draw on C&K’s Listening and Learning Together: C&K Curriculum Approach and source learning outcomes from the Early Years Learning Framework.
Additional Needs Assistant
We are committed to providing inclusive environments and programs to meet the diverse needs of all children and their families. In our service there may be an additional needs assistant working to facilitate the inclusion of children with additional needs. The additional needs assistant works with educators and may have a variety of qualifications and experiences. Extra Support Staff may be employed for limited hours through the day to work one on one or with small groups of children.
