Highfields Kindergarten is focused on nurturing and play-based learning for children aged 3.5 to 5. We emphasise holistic development, combining education with social and emotional growth.

Led by experienced Early Childhood Teachers, the program offers a consistent, nurturing environment in well-equipped indoor and outdoor spaces. Children attend with the same group daily, fostering strong relationships. The not-for-profit kindergarten values community involvement, with families participating in decision-making. Profits are reinvested to enhance educational resources, and staff are passionate professionals with decades of experience.

At Highfield Kindergarten, we have 4 kindy groups to choose from, and offer After Kindy Care to 5:30pm, so you can enrol your child in a group that best meets your family's needs.

As an affiliated centre of C&K, Highfields Kindergarten receives support from C&K as the Central Governing Body but operates as an independent incorporated association managed by a volunteer management committee. Centres affiliated with C&K receive comprehensive support in governance, including managing kindergarten and inclusion funding, training for committees and educators, advice and support regarding inclusion, use of the C&K brand, curriculum approach and resource materials.

Kindergarten is a program for children who are turning 4 by June 30 in the year before they attend school. Highfields Kindergarten's program is government-approved and led by experienced, University qualified Early Childhood Teachers. Our program supports children’s curiosity, creativity, problem solving, resilience and real-world knowledge and skills.

At Highfields Kindergarten, we know that children do not learn in isolation, so we approach learning as a collaborative relationship between teachers, educators, children and families. We believe children are powerful learners, active citizens, thinkers and theorisers - this is at the heart of our early childhood program. We've designed our indoor and outdoor spaces to ignite imaginations and nurture healthy minds and bodies. Learning through play is an integral part of our education program. Our educators skilfully enrich and extend children's play experiences, creating a learning program that is tailored and meaningful for your child.
