Situated in a modern, purpose-built centre between the local Uniting Church and primary school, Glen Iris Road Uniting Church Kindergarten offers the perfect environment for your child to begin their early learning journey.
Small class sizes allow us to tailor our age-appropriate learning strategies to your child’s individual needs, and our buddy program (in partnership with the Glen Iris primary school) ensures that they are prepared for life beyond kindergarten.
Welcome! 2020 OPEN DAY would normally see us field many questions from visitors to our service. Unfortunately, this is not possible with the current COVID-19 pandemic.
Educators in our team have created a list of frequently asked questions usually asked by prospective parents looking to enrol.
