Welcome to Gordonvale Community Kindergarten
Our goal at Kindy is to learn through play. We promote a child initiated, child directed, and adult supported play based program.
Our Kindy supports the development of broad life long skills in children, including:-
- positive self concept
- independent thought
- self motivation
- positive attitude towards learning
- the ability to cope with change
Our Philosophy
- Children are viewed as successful, competent and capable learners.
- Children’s rights and best interests are paramount.
- Learning through play forms the foundations of the program supported by qualified, experienced and approachable staff.
- The individuality and diversity of each child and his/her family is acknowledged through equitable and inclusive practices.
- Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures are recognised and valued.
- Parents and families roles are valued, respected and supported.
The kindergarten was built by the community of Gordonvale and officially opened on 31st August, 1971.
