Our kindergarten room caters for children aged between 4 and 5 years, with a maximum of 22 children in this group each day. Bachelor-qualified, early childhood teachers lead and develop the programs for our kinder room. In this space, engaged and productive learning occurs throughout the day. Our children are confident to resource their own learning through making positive choices, incorporating their interests and understanding our room values.
Our kindergarten room caters for children aged between 4 and 5 years old, encouraging them to explore a range of key skills in a supportive, nurturing and fun environment. This childcare room provides your child with plentiful opportunities to discover and pursue their interests and passions.
About the Kinder Room
In our kinder room, children are encouraged to be independent and are provided with many opportunities to practise their emerging self-help skills. The main goal is for children to develop a love of learning, investigative curiosity and experiment with theories and ideas through attempting problem solving before asking for assistance.
There are 22 children in this group each day, cared for by a qualified room leader with a Bachelor in Education (or equivalent). All children take part in a specially crafted program that provides them with routine and the opportunity to explore new skills, while allowing for adaptability to each child’s needs and interests.
Going to kindergarten is an important step for your child. It will help them learn skills that they will build on throughout their life. Kindergarten is also a time when your child grows socially and emotionally. Their ability to think, use and recognise language, and their fine motor skills will be developed through play, art, dance, music, movement and interacting with others.
Most importantly, at kindergarten your child will be learning to become an effective learner as they develop and extend their communication skills, build their self-confidence, learn to be creative, and develop skills that assist them with reading, writing and mathematics. All these skills and developmental milestones are fostered and encouraged by our kindergarten learning activities, program and team.
Key Skills
As part of our kindergarten cohort, your child will be a part of our program which promotes:
- Becoming involved in daily routines and developing independence.
- Focusing on relationships with friends and having responsibilities in their environment.
- Focusing on verbal and listening skills to help assist with sharing, conflict resolution, caring for others, sitting at group time and comprehending information throughout the year as part of the local community.
- Recognising and writing their name.
- Becoming confident with numbers.
These skills build on what your child has learned as part of our pre-kinder program.
Routine
Our daily kinder routine emphasises learning through play, with children participating in structured yet flexible indoors and outdoors activities. They are guided and supported by our trained early learning educators to discover more about their world and community in a positive and fun way.
Program
At Lili’s Early Learning Centre, we believe children learn through play and creative interaction with their environment and peers.
Our program is based on developmental profiling of each individual child, encompassing all developmental areas that include motor (fine and gross motor), cognitive, social and emotional, and language skills.
All skills are developed through active participation in a program that includes curriculum areas of: creative and expressive art, dramatic and imaginative play, environmental science and technology, maths and problem solving, expressive and receptive language and literature, music and movement, sensory play, and physical experiences (fine and gross motor).
Working with families is essential to the success of our educational program. Children enjoy developing their skills through child initiated learning, which is reflective of their home environment. This is why we encourage collaboration between our children and families to provide an optimal learning environment for your child, filled with fun learning activities for kindergarten children to enjoy.
We also believe in the importance of providing an environment in which children will develop an awareness of Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Culture, and an awareness of the cultural diversity of our local community. This is reflected through our range of activities scheduled throughout each day.
