Our experienced and caring teaching team enrich learning experiences to each child's interests and developmental stage, fostering independence and a strong sense of belonging. Through teamwork and shared dedication, we create nurturing and inclusive learning environments where every child can thrive.
Each kindergarten room is filled with energy, creativity, and carefully planned learning opportunities that encourage exploration, curiosity and growth. Every element of our environment is crafted with children's wellbeing in mind, helping them feel safe, confident, and ready to thrive.
What makes us special?
At Greater Beveridge we
- are committed to providing a safe, welcoming, positive, and inclusive environment for all children and their families. We value each child as an individual and support and empower them to become confident and independent learners.
- provide learning in a way that supports all children to engage in positive learning. We value play as the basis of children’s learning and holistic development, with our programs providing children with opportunities to explore, discover, create, and imagine.
- are committed to establishing environments where all children feel safe, secure, and supported. Our educators take into consideration the individual needs, interests and abilities of children when facilitating play and learning experiences. Our educators act with respect, kindness, and understanding to build trust with children and their families.
- want all children to become confident, resilient, respectful, socially aware and act with empathy and understanding to their peers, the environment and wider community. We are a culturally diverse service and recognise the importance of celebrating differences and learning about new cultures. We recognise that it is our individual differences and strengths that make our learning environments rich and meaningful.
- value trusting and reciprocal relationships between families and educators as fundamental to children’s learning and development. We endeavour to build collaborative and positive partnerships with our families and community.

Real experiences from our community
I absolutely love this kinder, my son absolutely loves it the teachers are so...
... on point, they're so full of knowledge, they're so kind to me and my son everyday, they really go out of their way to make sure us was parents are comfortable and all set with absolutely everything, and that my son is all set with everything, I'm so happy I chose this kinder for my son, I have not got one bad word to say about this kinder rooms are huge and the back yard is huge, all the teachers there are extremely awesome, you can't go wrong with this kinder at all, I like that I can drop my son off each day and know he is absolutely safe for the day and I can leave and do my errands for the day and know that my son is absolutely safe, because the teachers really care about all the kids who attend the centre, you can tell they're really passionate about their jobs and love their jobs, it makes me as a mum with anxiety on the daily know that my son is 100 percent safe :) this kinder is apart of us now, this kinder is basically our second home and our family now.
Nice little kindergarten. Lots of parking out front.
I loved that the children are encouraged and supported to be themselves, all...
... children are accepted for who they are.
My child loved going to kinder, he misses his teachers now that he is at school.
I love to play outside and go on the scooter!

Fees
The Victorian Government provides funding to support children to access a high-quality kindergarten program in the two years before they start school. This helps to ensure all Victorian children get the best start to life.
From 2023, the Victorian Government is making kindergarten programs free for three and four-year-old children – saving you and your family up to $2,500 per year for their program. Free Kinder is a critical component of the Victorian Government’s Best Start, Best Life reform.
FAQs
How will my child be supported for school transition?
Educators at Greater Beveridge Kindergarten work closely with families regarding children’s skills and readiness for transition to school. Each family is provided with a Transition Statement during Term 4, which is an overview of your child’s development, interests, strengths and suggestions to help with transition. A copy of this is forwarded to your child’s school, with your permission.
We have strong connections with local schools and work to ensure a smooth transition for each of the children in our care.
What is your curriculum?
We provide a play based curriculum, all our activities are based on the interest and the development of the children. We believe that children will learn through play. An example of this is when children are playing in our home corner they are learning about true life experiences, they are beginning to understand and are learning about sharing toys and equipment, they are extending their play skills and they will move from solitary play to onlooker play to parallel and associative play, then to co-operative play. Children begin to develop body awareness and self-help skills i.e. with dress ups.
Should my child be toilet trained to attend?
We respect each child is individual and develops at his/her own rate. We encourage families to have begun toilet training and will work to support your child’s development to promote a positive outcome.
Children do have toileting accidents on occasion, which are managed sensitively and discretely by educators. We ask each family to keep a complete change of clothes in their child’s bag in case children require changing. They’re also handy for when your child becomes thoroughly immersed in water play outside!
