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.
To showcase our facility we have created a 3-D Virtual Tour with a dollshouse view and a highlight reel .
Educators in our team have created a list of frequently asked questions usually asked by prospective parents looking to enrol.
We are also very happy for you to call us if you feel you have questions of a more specific nature regarding your child.
We have created a virtual tour of our kindergarten FAQ which you can see if you scroll down to the gallery.
