Welcome to Pine Street Kindergarten, we are a privately owned, accredited, long day care centre licensed by The Department of Community Services to provide care for 24 children, 3-6 years.

Our centre is open Monday – Friday 8.30am to 4.30pm. We close public holidays and 2 -3 weeks over Christmas.

At times of play activities, the children are free to choose areas of interest in which they will participate throughout the day, both as individuals and as part of a group. We believe children learn self discipline by being able to choose their own play activities. Sharing and co-operating with others is encouraged by staff.

By observing and documenting the development of each child, staff carefully plan a program. This allows staff to concentrate on areas of difficulty as well as areas your child enjoys or excels at. 

Play activities each day will generally include painting, play dough, puzzles, construction, music, storytelling, sand and water play.

Other than group time, all the children play and eat together. We divide the children into two smaller groups for group time, usually 3 to 4 year olds and 4 to 5 year olds. This enables staff to concentrate on levels of development and school readiness.

Our centre is staffed by a professional team of both formally trained and centre trained people, who have been chosen because of their educational qualifications, experience, enthusiasm, confidence and above all, their caring nature. Our staff includes owner/manager, director and six educators, with a minimum of 4 staff per day. Relief staff are used when permanent staff are absent. We open our centre to high school students for work experience throughout the year and also students from teachers and child care colleges.
