The educators at St John’s Silkwood Catholic Community Kindergarten believe relationship building is at the heart of our practices. We build our Kindy family through love, support and connection, with educators, children and families all having ownership and contributing to providing an environment that is safe and secure, and encourages confidence, autonomy, engagement and exploration. We support the wellbeing of our Kindergarten family through these connections.
Each child comes to kindergarten a unique individual with their own interests and abilities. We create stimulating and engaging learning environments built on this knowledge, ensuring our kindergarten is reflective of every child and their individual journeys.
We offer large stretches of time to play and learn, and value nature play and sustainable practices both outdoors and indoors.
We are proud members of our local community and respect the rich indigenous Aboriginal culture of Australia.
