Kindergarten

Williams House Kindergarten is located within the expansive grounds of Christian College, Junior School in Belmont.  At our Kindergarten, children aged 3 to 5 years enjoy play based learning in a creative, inspiring and loving environment.

Sense of Community

Through programs that approach curriculum as ‘everything’ that happens during our time together, high value is placed on creating a sense of community as well as respect for the individual learning needs and interests of the children. Our eyes are open to the learning which occurs in the course of our everyday life together.

Authentic Love of Learning

Beyond programs built on specific information on ‘set’ topics, staff are intentional about drawing on the ideas that are inspired by our observations of things important to our children. You will see that, via this ‘emergent’ approach, we are fostering an authentic love of learning, investigation and collaboration with others.

A Smooth Transition

Further to the opportunities offered to children in our own exceptionally resourced indoor and outdoor learning environments, Kindergarten programs are further complimented by our use of the Junior School facilities. In their Pre-School year all children have weekly access to specialist Music, Physical Education and Library classes. The value of this positive link with Junior School is affirmed by the smooth transition of the children into the Preparatory Year - an environment that already has so many positive associations for them.
