Children's Garden Kindercare Centre overview

Welcome to Children's Garden Kindercare

OUR VISION

Childrens Garden Kindercare is committed to providing an alternative form of child care where the early years of childhood are protected and nurtured, into which children are welcomed with love and surrounded by warmth, wonder and wisdom. Our care will give the children the best start to develop a secure sense of personal wellbeing, a love for learning, individual confidence and empathy for others.

Kindergarten Program - two rooms with 20 places for 3-5 year olds - Monday to Friday: 8am � 5.30pm

Childcare: Ring o Rosie and Spring Star Rooms, two rooms with 20�places for under 3 year olds:� Monday � Friday: 7.30am � 6.30pm

Working towards a better planet, we use biodegradable bamboo nappies and wipes, which take only 2 years as opposed to 500 years of normal nappies to decompose. Bamboo fabric can be 100% biodegraded in soil by microorganisms and sunlight. The decomposition process does not cause any pollution to the environment.

All our meals are provided by the centre and are organic, biodynamic and vegetarian. We have gluten-free, sugar-free, and vegan options.

The programs are a rich combination of indoor and outdoor domestic/farm-like activities and free play woven together with intentional teaching or planned activities. In Ring-o-Rosie the program centres around a strong rhythm that includes indoor and outdoor play, meal times, singing, story time, simple art and crafts and sleep. We keep it calm and simple for our littlest ones.

In Spring Star children are learning quickly to run and climb and are given the opportunity to exercise their developing gross motor skills on excursions and through a greater variety of activities that may include baking, painting, gardening, crafts and longer stories and singing circle times.

In our Peppercorn and Fig Tree Kindergartens the program includes excursions further from the centre, more complicated verses, finger plays, stories, cooking, paper art, beeswax and clay work and longer time in free-play. Children acquire the basic foundations for all the social sciences, language, creative thinking, mathematics, music, arts, problem-solving and negotiation etc. in a play-based curriculum with educators dedicated to ongoing learning.

Response from the owner 12 Jun 2025

Thank you for your feedback, it is very unfortunate you have left out information in your application and you have not paid the required deposit and bond payments that are over due. This communication is deeply disrespectful, and your lack of transparency was not honest. You were told there was no vacancy after the tour, and again on the phone, then you called to book in the orientation without having been given a place. The in person interview demonstrated, our centre was not a good fit for your family. Sometimes this is the case, and we are very sorry the position you have found yourself in. We understood you were still enrolled in your old centre on Thursdays, as mentioned, and would be able to pick up the required days. Kindest regards, CGK Management.
