Calliope Kindergarten

Calliope Kindergarten is a non-for profit community kindergarten, managed by a volunteer committee.  We pride ourselves on our spacious indoor and outdoor environments, and our commitment to giving children a positive introduction to early education.

Calliope Kindergarten is an inclusive Kindy. We believe all children are entitled to enjoy an early education that nurtures and supports their natural instinct to learn through exploring, investigating, problem solving and negotiating, all of which takes place as children play.  We strongly believe that the education of a child requires a strong partnership between the educator, the child and the child’s family, and also acknowledge the important role of the community in a child’s education.

Our service has two units and is also able to offer a limited amount of Pre-Kindy positions. Both Units offer two groups based on a five day fortnight model.

Our service is fortunate to have four bachelor trained teachers and qualified teaching assistants. Our dedicated staff team, committee and families received an overall rating of Exceeding in May 2018 and were awarded Exceeding in all seven quality areas of the National Quality Standards.
