Positioned on the edge of gorgeous Mount Elizabeth Nature Conservation Reserve, Bruthen Uniting Early Learning centre is situated together with Bruthen Boorai Children’s Centre, offering 3 and 4 year old kindergarten programs 2 days per week.
To showcase our facility we have created a 3-D Virtual Tour with a dollhouse view and a highlight reel.
At Bruthen Kindergarten, your child will learn, play, and explore within our renovated space. Whether they are climbing on the equipment, feeding the chickens, reading beneath the trees, or learning about nature in our dedicated garden, Bruthen Kindergarten provides a special learning experience for every child.
Our kindergarten features:
Our activities are centred around the children's interests, the environment, and exploring the world around us. They learn about recycling, water conservation, and everyday sustainable practices. With visitors from Museum Vic, the local shire and library, children are exposed to new people, experiences, and skills that will help them develop into broad thinkers and bright young community members.
Some of the activities children participate in include:
We grow food and eat together as a community, and the children love it! Children learn about nutrition, looking after their bodies, and the social side of healthy living.
We do this by:
Our families are an integral part of our program. Their interests become a living part of our curriculum. We build relationships with every family, individually, so we can understand their perspectives and what they want for their children while they are under our care. Each month families can openly contribute to Kindergarten program discussions and feel involved in projects (like our recent playground redesign) or talk to us daily as they arrive at Bruthen Kindergarten.
We actively involve families and the community in the following ways:
Wherever possible, we support the diverse cultures of our community. We can have all forms of communication translated for families who speak languages other than English.
Our educators are equipped with the skills to provide safe and nurturing environments to all children. They are trained in working with children who live with a range of physical and intellectual disability or who have experienced challenges and trauma.
Additionally, we receive the services of our Pre-school field officer, are allied with Gippsland Lakes Community Health, Scope and Early Childhood Intervention Services, and Aurora, school for the deaf.
