Welcome to Kurboroo Kindergarten
Philosophy
Kurboroo Kindergarten offers a caring and secure environment where warm and trusting relationships encourage each child to learn through their play.
Our educators view children as capable, competent co-contributors and acknowledge them as active participants in their own learning. The role of our educators is to provide a stimulating and responsive environment, based on the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework and Early Years Learning Framework, giving positive reinforcement and encouragement to make learning possible. Children are encouraged to develop self-confidence, resilience a positive self-esteem and a sense of self-worth as they begin to make sense of the world around them.Kurboroo Kindergarten aims to prepare our children for future learning and develops life skills, which will help their transition to school.
Our physical environment supports children’s active play and encourages our children and families to appreciate the natural environment. Being so close to natural bushland the children have the opportunity to experience nature play. We encourage families to be environmentally aware and responsible through our sustainability and recycling practices and through the development and maintenance of our edible gardens, mini orchard and frog bog area. Engaging with the Warranwood Reserve Bush Committee on planting days allows the children to make environmental and community connections. Our community garden located at the front of the kindergarten encourages collaborative partnerships with our local community through the planting and harvesting of herbs and vegetables.
Our program acknowledges the traditional owners of this land- the Wurundjeri People and welcomes and incorporates the culture and diversity of our community. In order to foster kindness and compassion, we undertake various community projects that provide support and assistance to community groups less fortunate within our local community and the wider world.
Families are the most important and constant part of the child’s journey, and we aim to further enrich and support this role by forming a partnership with you. We encourage all families to enjoy being a special part of our Kurboroo community as we undertake this exciting learning journey together!
