Palm Beach Kindergarten

Palm Beach Kindergarten

Palm Beach Kindergarten is a community based, not for profit, preschool that operates from 9am to 3pm during school terms. The younger children (3 to 4 years old) generally attend on Mondays and Tuesdays with the older children (4 to 5 years old) attending on Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays.

We are licensed for 29 children to attend each day and have four staff members working with these children each day. Three of these staff members have early childhood qualifications. During the first few weeks of each year the kindergarten employs an additional staff member known as 'the cuddler' to help settle in the new children.

Palm Beach Kindergarten offers a challenging array of equipment and play materials that are professionally selected. We have two beautiful outdoor areas that provide a wide range of learning possibilities.

The educational program is designed and implemented by the teaching staff. They continually develop and modify the program in line with individual children's needs and interests.

The daily routine is carefully planned and designed to provide a balance of learning experiences including indoor and outdoor activities, quiet and active play, individual, small and large group experiences.

Each child enrolled at the kindergarten will have comprehensive and on-going developmental records. These records help us with our educational programming on a day-to-day and long-term basis. They are also designed to track children's development and can identify any areas that your child may need help with. These records are displayed in a portfolio which includes examples of your child's work throughout the year, photos and assessments.

The kindergarten has established strong links with local schools and also with specialists such as speech pathologists and occupational therapists to ensure every child has the smoothest possible transition to school.
