Welcome
Welcome to Gordonvale Community Kindergarten. The kindergarten was built by the community of Gordonvale and officially opened on 31st August, 1971. Our goal at Kindy is to learn through play. We promote a child initiated, child directed, and adult supported play based program.
We offer a safe, secure and fun environment for your child to play, grow and learn. At Gordonvale Kindy we believe a positive and open relationship with families is a vital in providing a positive experience for your child; therefore we will work together with families to provide an environment in which your child will feel comfortable and safe. We provide a place of learning and care where your child has access to active, play-based learning and developmentally appropriate resources. We have a strong emphasis on children engaging with the environment and being able to exercise choices which match their interests and capabilities.
We are positive your child will enjoy their time here with us and look forward to sharing time with you and your family as well. We offer an open invitation to families to play an active role in the centre and input to our programming.
Please contact us for more information.
Child-Led Learning
No two days are the same at Gordonvale Kindy. Our teaching team tailor each day’s learning taking into account the interests of the children in the group. The spacious environment at our kindy is thoughtfully planned and well resourced. There is a focus on music, drama, literature and visual arts and time spent discovering the natural environment outdoors.
Community Spirit
Community spirit is important to us at Gordonvale Kindy. We foster our strong ties to the local community by encouraging parent input and involvement in the daily operations of the kindergarten and programming decisions. We often hold and partake in community events and love connecting with local businesses and groups around us
