Welcome
Coromandel Valley Kindergarten provides an educational program for pre-school
children within a caring, safe and attractive environment. We are situated on a
large shady block, next to a reserve. Staff, children and parents value the
learning opportunities the outdoor area provides.
The
kindergarten is a locally managed Department for Education and Child
Development (DECD) site. The staff,
parents and voluntary Governing Council members work together to maintain and
develop the site, learning curriculum and site policies.
You are
welcome to contact us by phone or email to discuss your child’s pre-school
learning and what we can offer.
The
kindergarten operates full time with kindergarten sessions operating Monday to
Thursday.

Parent Information
We
believe children learn through play and work with you and your child
to foster and further develop their interests, skills and learning
dispositions. We explicitly teach the vales of co-operation,
respect, commitment and confidence. Our aim is for your child to
enjoy learning and become a confident learner ready to move on into
the formal schooling sector.
We participate
in the local community and plan excursions and visitors to link with the
educational program.
We encourage
formal and informal reviews and evaluation of your child’s progress during their
kindergarten year.
If you have
concerns about your child’s development or learning, support services can be
provided for children and families and are available through DECD: social
worker; speech pathologist; psychologist; pre-school support; bi-lingual
support; Aboriginal educator.
We encourage
you to have your child’s details on our Waiting List and we will contact you to
invite you and your child to an information session.
If your child has a diagnosed disability, significant learning needs or
significant medical issues please discuss these with us prior to the information
session.
