About the programs
 

4-Year-Old Pre-PREP Program - Confident Learners. Curious Thinkers. Strong Voices.

Our 4-Year-Old Kindergarten program at Kids on Campus is underpinned by a high-quality, VEYLDF-aligned, play-based curriculum that values children as capable and active participants in their learning.

Learning experiences are designed in response to children’s interests, strengths, and questions, supporting all five VEYLDF Learning and Development Outcomes. Through inquiry, collaboration, and purposeful play, children develop strong skills in communication, problem-solving, emotional regulation, and independence.

Our knowledgeable Kinder team takes immense pleasure in creating rich environments where children can investigate, experiment, lead their learning, and develop strong learning dispositions. We intentionally support each child to grow in confidence, resilience, and responsibility as they prepare for school.

By the end of the year, children leave our Kindergarten program as confident, independent learners with an enthusiasm for learning and a strong sense of identity ready for the next chapter of their educational journey.

3-Year-Old Kindergarten Program - A Gentle Beginning to a Lifetime of Learning

At Kids on Campus, our 3-Year-Old Kindergarten program offers a happy, safe, and caring environment where every child feels a strong sense of belonging.

Our play-based curriculum is guided by the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF), supporting children’s learning and development through warm relationships, meaningful play, and intentional teaching. Through everyday experiences such as music, movement, imaginative play, stories, and outdoor exploration children build foundations across the VEYLDF Learning Outcomes, particularly Wellbeing, Identity, and Communication.

We walk alongside your child as they develop confidence, independence, and emerging social and emotional skills.

This gentle introduction to kindergarten allows children to feel safe, valued, and capable of developing a positive disposition toward learning in preparation for future growth.
