Operating Hours

Our operating hours are 8.10am until 2.50pm from Monday to Friday.

Welcome

Welcome to Highfields & District Kindergarten.

We are a double unit Kindergarten with four groups of children. Each group attends for 30 hours over a 5 day fortnight. We cater for children 3.5 years to 5 years of age in the year before they attend prep. 

Each group of Kindergarten aged children participate in a play-based educational program from the Queensland Curriculum & Assessment Authority approved curriculum: Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline.  The program is conducted by our dedicated University Trained Early Childhood Teachers and their Certificate III and Diploma qualified Assistants.

You are most welcome to phone or e-mail us for more information about our centre or alternatively, please give us a call to arrange for a convenient time to look through our beautiful Kindy. Our door is always open. 

Centre Philosophy

At Highfields and District Kindergarten we offer a nurturing and supportive environment, seeing each child as unique and meeting their individual and cultural needs.

Every child is a valued member within our stimulating and inspirational program that fosters curiosity, creativity and imagination. We help children to develop the learning skills that are necessary to create a
sense of belonging and to gain knowledge of their world.

As children’s first educators, family input is valued and respected as Staff and Families work together. We afford many opportunities for our families to engage in their child’s kindergarten journey as we all become
active members of the wider world.  Our kindergarten is a place where each child feels cared for and safe to express their ideas and feelings. The teachers are positive and encourage learning and thinking in all aspects of the program.  It is a great place to grow!

We are constantly evolving and reflecting on our daily practices to ensure a sustainable future for generations to come. “Rubbish makes the world sick!” (Elsey, 4 years).

Time at our Centre provides each child with a wealth of wonderful memories and an opportunity to be a part of a close knit community.

CHILDREN ARE OUR NATIONAL TREASURE
