OUR PEOPLE
At Yarra Ranges Kindergartens, we believe that all children carry unseen within them the person they will become. In order to develop their physical, intellectual, and social abilities to the fullest, they must have freedom—freedom to be achieved through order and self-discipline.
We provide a safe, nurturing environment where children learn, grow and thrive. Our curriculum prepares children for primary school and beyond by developing important academic, social and emotional skills. Our teachers help each child discover a fascinating world of learning and play.
“Play is the answer to how anything new comes about.” – Jean Piaget
Our diverse and dedicated staff hold degrees & diplomas in a myriad of areas, including Early Childhood Education, the arts and sciences, and have all fulfilled preschool educational requirements.
