Conveniently located next to the Poowong Maternal & Child Health Centre, our highly-qualified and experienced educators have been providing personalised learning programs to the preschool children of our community since 1972.
Poowong Kindergarten embraces each child's unique strengths, interests and personalities and strives to develop children's physical, social and emotional learning. We encourage relationship building, communication skills, decision making and resilience.
To showcase our facility we have created a 3-D Virtual Tour with a dollhouse view and a highlight reel.
Children love interacting with our guinea pigs and worm farm! We instil a sense of respect for the environment in our large outdoor area designed to stimulate play and encourage investigation of nature. We place a strong emphasis on outside activities such a climbing, cycling, and gardening which develops children’s motor skills.
Our kindergarten features:
Sustainability and caring for the natural environment are a strong focus of our activities and approach.
