NQF Rating: Meeting

At Ashgrove West Kindy, you and your child will feel welcome, secure and stable. Your child will have the continuity of one teacher and one class, and you’ll have the opportunity to socialise with the wider kindergarten community.

Set in large, beautiful, natural grounds and large spacious classrooms, our purpose is to foster, in partnership with families, a love of learning where each child can grow socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually in a secure, child-centred environment.

Your child will be taught, nurtured, and guided by a university-qualified Early Childhood Teacher and qualified assistant with many years of experience teaching kindy-aged children. Our teaching staff work with the same group of children each day to provide stability and continuity throughout the year.

Ashgrove West Kindy is conveniently located opposite Ashgrove State School and services families from Ashgrove, Paddington, Bardon, The Gap, Red Hill and surrounding suburbs.

As an affiliated centre of C&K, Ashgrove West Kindy receives support from C&K as the Central Governing Body but operates as an independent incorporated association managed by a volunteer management committee. Centres affiliated with C&K receive comprehensive support in governance, including managing kindergarten and inclusion funding, training for committees and educators, advice and support regarding inclusion, use of the C&K brand, curriculum approach and resource materials.

Programs

All our kindergartens deliver C&K's quality kindergarten program. Kindergarten, also known as pre-prep or preschool, is a program for children who are turning 4 by June 30 in the year before they attend school. C&K’s kindy programs are government-approved and led by experienced and university qualified teachers. Our program supports children’s curiosity, creativity, problem solving, resilience and real-world knowledge and skills.

At C&K, we know that children do not learn in isolation, so we approach learning as a collaborative relationship between teachers, educators, children and families. We believe children are powerful learners, active citizens, thinkers and theorisers - this is at the heart of our early childhood curriculum. We've designed our indoor and outdoor spaces to ignite imaginations and nurture healthy minds and bodies. Learning through play is an integral part of our education program. Our educators skilfully enrich and extend children's play
experiences, creating a learning program that is tailored and meaningful for your child.

Your child’s learning journey is shared with you via conversations with your child’s educators, through written documentation and through Storypark (an app and website).
