Welcome to our Kindergarten
Strathalbyn Kindergarten operates from two locations - this is a unique model of early years delivery as there are only a few other sites in South Australia that operate with an Outreach program for preschool delivery.
Our main location is situated at 9 Coronation Road Strathalbyn.
Our second location - our Outreach is located with the Strathalbyn Children's Child Care Centre. The Outreach is situated at 1A Burkett Drive Strathalbyn.
We also have families that attend our Kindergarten from as far as Macclesfield, Clayton and Prospect Hill.
Strathalbyn and surrounding communities are growing, with farming, viticulture and mining being the communities main economic drivers.
We offer a range of programs in partnership with parents and the community to meet the needs of individual children and their families.
| Our Vision | Our Values |
| Our vision is our motto: "Communities united through play." Essential ingredients to unite our communities through play involve providing a high quality safe, inclusive play based supportive preschool curriculum in partnership with our communities. Communities include parents, children, local town communities and our 'feeder' schools. |
Trust & Respect - gives young children the
confidence to explore and take considered risks. Nurturing & Caring - children learn about care and consideration for others. They begin to see alternative points of view and act in respectful ways. Responsibility & Empowerment - children strengthen their ability in initiating and accepting some responsibility for themselves, their actions and their environments. |
