Located by the beautiful surrounds of the Longford Recreation Reserve, Longford Kindergarten has been educating and preparing children for their transition to primary school since 1983.
Offering integrated kindergarten classes for 3-4 year olds, 3 days a week, we provide a welcoming environment and community ties that will develop your child’s understanding of themselves and the world around them.
Children enrolling in our service in 2019 are eligible for the Victorian Government drought kindergarten fee subsidy.
Our large, outdoor space boasts a wealth of natural resources and shade that encourages your child to connect with the surrounding environment through play and experiential learning. We are well-equipped to promote sustainability and physical development and have recently invested in a quiet room stocked with learning resources and new, inclusive play equipment.
