Shine Bright Helm Street Kindergarten 13 Helm Street, Kangaroo Flat, Victoria 3555

Welcome to Shine Bright Helm Street Kindergarten, located in Kangaroo Flat, Australia. Our institution is dedicated to providing a nurturing and supportive environment for children aged 3 and 4 years old.

At Helm Street Kindergarten, we understand the importance of social-emotional development in school readiness. That's why we have partnered with Kangaroo Flat Primary to engage an Art Therapist who works between both settings, helping children navigate the sometimes challenging transition, especially for those experiencing vulnerability.

Our kindergarten offers combined group programs for 3 and 4 year olds, allowing children to learn and grow together. We have two groups available, Group 1 meets on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9.00 am to 2.00 pm, and Group 2 meets on Tuesday and Thursday from 8.30 am to 4.00 pm.

Our dedicated educational team consists of Ann, Beckie, Gaya, Glenys, Jasmine, Karly, Leeza, and Patricia. They are passionate about early childhood education and are committed to providing the best possible learning experiences for your child.

At Helm Street Kindergarten, we prioritize relationships as they are crucial for brain and emotional development. We follow the Kathy Walker approach, which fosters a sense of wonder, exploration, and investigation in a rich range of materials and resources. We believe that the learning environment plays a vital role, and our educators create intentional and engaging spaces both indoors and outdoors.

We value children's interests and incorporate them into the learning environment, along with community interests. Our focus is on developing thinking processes such as decision making, self-regulation, lateral thinking, reflection, and resilience.

Shine Bright EYM is a not-for-profit community-based organization that operates with the needs of children and families as its highest priority. We manage 36 kindergartens in both large and small rural towns across Central and Northern Victoria.
