3 Year Old Program

Our 3-Year-Old program provides children with a warm, secure and welcoming learning environment.  Children are invited to share in learning with their peers in a play-based environment.  The 3-Year-Old emphasises sharing, co-operation and being part of a group and learning through fun.  Educators provide engaging learning environments in both indoor and outdoor play spaces, which allows children to extend their interests and develop their sense of confidence.

This all takes place within a warm, safe, relaxed and caring environment, allowing each child to develop in their own individual way with the support of expert early childhood educators.

Our Three-Year-Old program offers children a minimum of fifteen hours of preschool.

The Thursday music program is facilitated by our specialist music teacher and offers children the opportunity to learn about musical concepts, such as beat and rhythm, and the enjoyment of creating music and movement.

It is important for families to carefully consider the best time to enrol their child in 3YO kindergarten as children will be unable to repeat 3YO kindergarten. All children accessing 3YO kindergarten will transition to 4YO kindergarten the following year. Only children who meet the criteria for a second year of 4YO kindergarten will be eligible to access an additional year of 4YO kindergarten. If a child’s birthday falls between January and April, the family can decide whether to enrol their child in the year they turn three or the following year. It is important to note that children can only attend our 3YO program once they have turned three and not before. There is more information on the Victorian Government website to help with your decision.
