Norman Park Community Kindergarten is a not-for-profit kindergarten managed by a committee of parents who support our high educator to child ratios of one teacher and two educators to 25 children.
Our community kindergarten is affiliated with The Lady Gowrie, who support us as our Central Governing Body.
Our natural kindy grounds are extensive on 1882m² of land and as we are a one unit centre, there are only ever 25 children on site. Our philosophy views children as capable, competent and eager to learn. We foster children’s learning and development through our child led, play based open indoor outdoor curriculum.
From 2021 the new program hours will be:
Kookaburras - 3 days every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday from 8.30am to 2.30pm; and
Lorikeets - 2 longer days every Thursday and Friday from 8am to 3.30pm.
In 2021 the Kindy Club program is available for families in the Kookaburras group. This is a separate service providing before and after kindy care from 7.30am to 8.30am and 2.30pm to 4.30pm.
Kindy Club will also be offered for the Lorikeets in the afternoon from 3.30pm to 5pm.
We have been rated as 'Exceeding' under the National Quality Framework and we continue to deliver exceptional programs for children in this community.
