Mareeba Community Kindergarten (Stewart Street)
Welcome to Mareeba Community Kindergarten on Stewart Street. We are committed to the importance of a quality early childhood education that engages each individual child, to strive to achieve their full potential by stimulating their learning abilities through: a strong sense of identity, by connecting and contributing to their world, developing a strong sense of wellbeing, being confident and involved learners and becoming effective communicators.
It is very important that children grow in a warm friendly community where each child is able to develop at their own rate and where opportunities are created in a free and flexible and natural learning environment. In order to achieve this, we provide secure, respectful and reciprocal relationships, through regular communication with each child and their families where we respect each family's cultural diversity. We are committed to equity and believe that each child can succeed and achieve in learning through play. Children will be able to interact with other children and adults and will learn through exploration, discovery and play.
