Dorset Early Learning & Kindergarten

Welcome to Dorset Early Learning & Kindergarten!

Dorset Early Learning and Kindergarten located on Dorset Road in Croydon is a small family based service, that prides itself on providing children with endless opportunities to learn through play, and be themselves through nurture and encouragement. Our environment is based on the collaboration of families and educators to provide children with the adequate support and opportunity to be their own individuals and learn via their own inquisitive nature and abilities.
Our program considers the social and cultural values of the family and the community we live in.

Our Program

Programs include a weekly Music appreciation program, indoor and outdoor experiences, cooking, science, multicultural experiences, environmental experiences, incursions and much more.

Where additional needs are identified, we will endeavour to meet the needs of the child at the Service and help families access any other resources required. We therefore present a balanced program that is developmentally appropriate that incorporates both the indoor/outdoor environment.
