Kindergarten Program
Government Approved
Give your children a flying start – enrol them today in our Queensland Government Approved Kindergarten Program in Southport.
Our program has been officially approved by the Queensland Government; an assurance that our Kindergarten Program is delivered by a qualified Early Childhood Teacher.
In Queensland, the Kindergarten Year is the year before the Preparatory Year of schooling. Throughout the Kindergarten Year, the focus is on the children’s rights and opportunity to experience the joy of childhood while promoting learning through play and emergent and planned learning experiences and interactions. We also focus on school readiness to ensure the children are confident, capable and ready for their transition to school.
At The Nest Early Education Centre we recognise that parents are the children’s first educators and value the vital role that parents, carers and family members play in the children’s lives and their ongoing learning and development. We encourage our families to be involved with our Kindergarten program and seek family and community involvement in our learning program on all levels and throughout the entire year.
Our Southport Kindergarten teachers educate within the Queensland Government and Queensland Skills Authority approved QKLG (Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines) curriculum. This curriculum is based on the Early Years Learning Framework and embraces the inclusive vision that ‘all children experience learning that is engaging and builds success for life’.
We encourage children to attend our Kindergarten program at least three days per week.
