Our professional educators bring over 100 years of combined teaching experience and are committed to upholding our reputation of delivering high-quality early learning programs in a safe and nurturing environment.

Karalee Community Kindergarten
Welcome to Karalee Community Kindergarten. Karalee Community Kindergarten began in 1992, working out of the Community Hall next door as families in the community worked together to get our kindy its own home. In March 1998, we moved into our current building and have spent the following years adding to our beautiful kindergarten.
Our kindy believes strongly in the uniqueness of each family and each child. We encourage parents to work together with teachers to ensure that the kindergarten program provides opportunities for children to extend their existing knowledge and skills and develop attributes such as perseverance, resilience and curiosity that are critical to learning.
Children are encouraged to be active participants in our program. We value their ideas and enable them to take ownership of their learning. We interact purposely with the children, offering support and guidance when required. We also aim to help children to expand their thinking, challenge themselves and extend their interests by introducing them to other interests and encouraging them to explore other alternatives and possibilities. Children will have the opportunity to make choices, develop their own ideas and work at their own pace. Teachers will be responsive to their ideas and initiatives, allowing time and space for exploration and research. They will establish warm and affectionate bonds and attachments with children, by being available, accessible and approachable.
At Karalee Community Kindergarten, we offer a 2-day week or 5-day fortnight kindergarten program.
