Established in 1969, Heyfield Kindergarten provides education and care services for children aged 4 and above in a beautiful rural setting.
Our kindergarten offers a natural sanctuary that remains in touch with its environment, with flexible session times to support the needs of local families.
To showcase our facility we have created a 3-D Virtual Tour with a dollhouse view and a highlight reel.
Heyfield Kindergarten allows your child to learn and grow while immersing themselves within the lush country landscape. Safe, well-shaded play areas encourage children to be social and physically active and are complemented by natural features and home-grown produce that make learning about sustainability fun.
