Woodlands Kindergarten

Welcome to Woodlands Kindergarten, located in the picturesque beachside town of Ocean Grove, Australia. Our establishment is set in a beautiful bush-feel environment, providing a fun and stimulating kindergarten program for your child.

At Woodlands Kindergarten, we offer both bush and beach kinder programs, allowing your child to explore and learn about the environment while playing in our large natural play space. This space features well-established trees, birds, natural materials, mud and sand pits, herb and veggie gardens, a worm farm, chickens, and plenty of climbing equipment and bikes.

Inside our kindergarten, you'll find an open-plan learning space with various breakout areas for different activities. Our experienced educators teach a comprehensive curriculum that focuses on building your child's literacy and numeracy skills. Additionally, we incorporate interactive music, sports, and environmental activities into our program.

We believe in fostering your child's social skills and providing an inclusive environment where they can connect their cultural backgrounds and beliefs to their sense of belonging. We encourage them to respect and value others in their community.

But don't just take our word for it! Hear what our parents have to say about Woodlands Kindergarten:
