— DISCOVER OUR

Kindergarten

We aim to provide a holistic and dynamic Christ-centred Early Years program shaped by explorative, child-led, teacher-guided, play-based learning experiences that nurture a rich foundation for life. 

We take a multifaceted approach for our 3 and 4 year old kindergarten programs. Our programs are based on Biblical truths and encourage awe and wonder as we learn about God’s world. Transformational education is the underpinning framework for our commitment to Christian Education in these formational early childhood years. We use the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF) to inform our learning outcomes.

Our Kindergarten curriculum includes programs such as:

Playing and Learning to Socialise (PALS) that introduces social skills for 3 and 4 year-old children. 

Perceptual Motor Program (PMP) which aims to help children develop the ability to interpret and respond successfully to sensory information through exercise. 

Bush Kinder which involves regular excursions into the bush located on MECS property. The children explore and play in all types of weather! Children wonder in God’s world, use their imagination, and connect with nature. This is a highly valued part of the 4 year-old kinder program. 

 

Excursions and Incursions where we organise meaningful, hands-on experiences for children to help broaden their experiences and connect with local communities. 

We are committed to helping children grow their sense of identity and community, and our kinder verse is embedded into our practice regularly, and shared with families.
