Ashgrove Memorial Kindergarten

ABOUT THE CENTRE:

Ashgrove Memorial Kindergarten is a non-profit, community kindy which has been educating and caring for children since 1949.

Our mission is to create a nurturing place of joy in learning. We seek to extend and enrich each child’s life, and to provide opportunities for self-expression and growth.  Our strength is generated by our commitment to our children, our families and our community. We are rated as exceeding the National Quality Standards. We have two airconditioned classrooms and a large natural outdoor classroom (the playground) with room to run, hide and build.

Ashgrove Memorial Kindergarten provides you and your child with:

• Continuity of care – your child is with the same staff every day. After Care is available each day until 5.30pm, in the same familiar environment.
• Continuity of groups – you will meet the same parents as your child is with the same children every day.
• Continuity of service – We have a very low staff turn-over rate. Our staff are highly qualified, mature, warm, experienced and professional and most have been at the centre for many years, including our Director, who has been at the kindy for 25 years.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Ashgrove Memorial Kindergarten is set off the main road, but is convenient and accessible to numerous schools. The centre is adjacent to parkland and has ample parking.

We use the national curriculum – the Early Years Learning Framework. We have a strong emphasis on play as children’s natural, dynamic and holistic context for learning.
