Welcome
The Plympton South Kindergarten is a Department for Education and Child Development community kindergarten offering sessional kindergarten for children aged 4 years of age.
At the Plympton South Kindergarten all children are encouraged to engage in a supportive learning environment, where they become confident learners through partnerships with families and staff.
At the Plympton South Kindergarten we believe that:
- Children learn best through an inquiry and play based curriculum that is child initiated.
- All children need to respect themselves, others and the environment.
- Teachers act as facilitators and need to have trusting relationships with all children.
- Families need to be involved in their child's education, as they are the first and most influential teacher.
- The culture and values of all families are acknowledged and respected.
- All children need to have a positive sense of wellbeing in order to engage in learning.
- Communication between home and kindergarten is important in maintaining positive relationships.
