“Kardinia Early Learning's mission is to make a positive difference to each child and family through a community approach. University-trained teachers lead the preschool. Their Educators observe the children and their curiosities regularly, evaluate their needs, and create a curriculum based on these observations. They recognise that all children develop at different rates and, in other ways, emotionally, socially, intellectually, morally, physically, and spiritually, and they aim to meet people where they are. They believe that children learn and develop through active and constructive involvement in play. Children will experience a 'hands-on' approach where they are challenged to explore, investigate and discover. Children are decision-makers in their educational program, which engages them as co-constructors of the curriculum. Kardinia Kindergarten aims to engage children in focused learning using their ideas and interests through an integrated curriculum.”
