We are currently offering Monday and Tuesday free kindergarten sessions to 3 and 4-year-olds with the aim to increase session offerings throughout the year as interest grows.
At KU Koo Wee Rup Kindergarten, childhood is celebrated. When they play and explore, children's imagination and curiosity is sparked – they enjoy learning, and are inspired to continue learning more.
The new purpose-built kindergarten is architecturally designed, features large indoor and outdoor environments, and is located at Koo Wee Rup Primary School.
We encourage children to laugh, think, question and learn. Their sense of self and confidence grow as they make connections with each other, and build warm, trusting relationships with our team.
Our play-based program is developed and implemented by our University trained Early Childhood Teachers and qualified educator teams, under the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework and the National Quality Framework.
Drawing from their specialist knowledge of early childhood philosophies and practices, our staff create learning experiences that stimulate and enrich children’s minds throughout every developmental stage.
Our learning environment, first and foremost, facilitates children’s agency. We aim to work with our families to facilitate inclusion, respectful interactions, sustainable practices, learning and the wellbeing of all children.
Our three and four year old sessional Kindergarten programs support children in becoming confident and engaged learners who take a lead in their learning journey with their educators.
By incorporating the diversity and values of the local community into our kindergarten, we create welcoming and inclusive places for children to learn and grow.

Centre philosophy
Centre philosophy
In addition to the high-quality well-rounded programs we offer, all KU services are also encouraged to develop an area of focus.
At KU Koo Wee Rup Kindergarten, we focus on encouraging children to be active learners.
We incorporate this into our program through involving the children in the learning processes with intentionality through inquiry-based learning and making decisions about our learning environments.
We feel that the children benefit from this because it provides the opportunity for children to collaborate, research, investigate, record and revisit their learning.
KU Koo Wee Rup Kindergarten opens January 2024 and will be independently assessed by the Department of Education and Training Victoria under the National Quality Standards.
Parent communication and involvement
Parent communication and involvement
Each KU service is unique. The best outcomes for children are created within relationships and interactions between children and staff, and children and their families, not within four walls. We work hard to create beautiful, interesting, homelike learning environments for children - whatever our setting.
KU Koo Wee Rup Kindergarten situated in Koo Wee Rup Primary School which offers families access to a range of services.
Our playground is our outdoor learning environment and includes natural elements such as sand, grass, water, mud, leaves and twigs and kitchen gardens. Wherever possible we avoid using lots of fixed, plastic equipment in our playground. Instead we provide an ever-changing array of challenging and interesting activities and equipment, explored by children and educators together. These activities help with the development of children’s gross motor skills, enhancing their overall health and wellbeing as they discover their strengths and abilities and feel inspired to create, imagine and play.

The educators have been so helpful and patient with my son who finds transitions and new environments overwhelming but they have helped him so much this year! The rooms are always set up with new and interesting play spaces and parents are kept upto date with what the children are learning and new experiences. I would recommend KU Koo Wee Rup to anyone looking for a local kindergarten. The program is fantastic and my son has learnt so much this year thanks to Mel and Lauren. Very happy with our choice of sending our children to this kindergarten:) Read more

Our experience at KU Koo Wee Rup Kindergarten has been incredibly positive, especially for our son who is Deaf and has additional learning needs. The dedication of the teaching and support staff has been outstanding. His teacher, Melissa is amazing—she has gone above and beyond to understand his unique needs, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where he feels valued and supported. The staff have been proactive in securing necessary funding to ensure my son received the support he needs to thrive, and they've implemented these resources seamlessly. As parents, we’ve always felt included in the process, and the team has been consistently open and communicative, making us feel truly part of our son's educational journey. Nothing has been too difficult for them; they’ve handled every challenge with creativity, patience, and care. We are so grateful for everything the team at Koo Wee Rup Kindergarten has done for our son and our family, and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough! Read more
