Clayton Community Centre Kindergarten 15 Cooke Street, Clayton, Victoria 3168

Welcome to Clayton Community Centre Kindergarten, located at 15 Cooke Street in Clayton, Australia. As an establishment and point of interest, our kindergarten offers a world of new experiences for children and families every day.

At Clayton Community Centre Kindergarten, we believe that the early years are crucial in a child's life, and kindergarten plays a vital role in their learning journey. Our educators understand that the best way for children to learn is through play-based curriculum and independent inquiry. We guide children through new activities and adventures, with a focus on our rich multicultural community.

We are proud to display the Kinder tick, which signifies that our program is recognized as a funded kindergarten program. Our curriculum includes exploration of the local community, allowing children to interact with new experiences and people. With our large indoor and outdoor play spaces, there is plenty of room for children to move and explore. Our learning environment supports various aspects of development, including social, emotional, cognitive, physical, technological, and creative learning.

We use Storypark to connect our educators with families, providing a platform to share news, updates, progress, and exciting moments from kinder to home. Additionally, we are official participants in the SunSmart program, ensuring the safety of our staff and children in the sun.

Safeguarding children and young people is of utmost importance to us. We strive to provide safe and fun environments where children can flourish. Our kindergarten's philosophy is informed by the National Quality Framework and guides our teaching and approach to early learning. If you would like more details, please ask us for a copy of our Philosophy Statement.
