Our Narre Warren Kindergarten’s Philosophy
Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that children are capable, competent, and active learners. We encourage exploration, experimentation, and creative expression, valuing every child’s individual journey. Our learning spaces are carefully designed to be aesthetically pleasing, full of natural light and sustainable materials, and flexible to adapt to children’s needs. We celebrate learning through hands-on activities, indoor and outdoor play, and meaningful connections with the environment and community.

Enriching learning experiences
Our Narre Warren kindergarten’s learning program offers a wide range of enriching activities that support holistic development:
- Mixed-age learning – Younger children gain new skills and confidence through peer learning, while older children develop leadership and mentoring skills.
- Language learning in Mandarin – Through simple phrases, songs, and cultural stories, facilitated with the interactive ELLA app on iPads, children are introduced to a second language in an engaging, playful way.
- Hey Dee Ho music program – Every fortnight, children participate in a fun and dynamic music session that builds rhythm, creativity, and joy.
- Daily RAMSR (Rhythm and Movement for Self-Regulation) sessions – Rhythm and movement activities that enhance self-regulation, coordination, and emotional well-being.

Daily rhythm and routine
At our Narre Warren kindergarten, we follow a flexible daily rhythm that balances structured learning with free play:
- 9:00 am – Kindergarten session begins: Children transition from family grouping into their kindergarten session, settling into their day with familiar routines and supportive educators.
- 9:30 am – Free play and progressive morning tea: Children engage in free play across various learning areas while enjoying a relaxed, progressive morning tea.
- 10:00 am – Circle time and story time: Gathering together for songs, discussions, and stories, children build language skills and connections before moving into a balanced indoor/outdoor program.
- 11:30 am – Progressive lunch: Children enjoy a nutritious lunch at their own pace, fostering independence and social skills.
- 12:30 pm – Quiet time and rest: A calm and restful period where children can nap, engage in mindfulness activities, or enjoy quiet, self-directed play based on their individual needs.
- 2:00 pm – Indoor/outdoor learning program: Children continue exploring through both structured indoor experiences and outdoor adventures, guided by their interests and developmental goals.
- 3:00 pm – Progressive afternoon tea: Another opportunity for a relaxed snack and social interaction as children reflect on their day’s learning.
- 4:30 pm – Family grouping: Children regroup for quieter end-of-day activities, sharing experiences and preparing for a smooth and positive transition home.

Strong local school relationships
At our Narre Warren Kindergarten, we value strong community ties. We work closely with Narre Warren South P-12 College to ensure a smooth transition for children moving on to formal schooling. Throughout the kinder year, you and your child will have access to:
- School visits: Through transition visits and classroom experiences, children meet their future teachers, explore new environments, and build familiarity.
- Kindergarten information evenings: We invite school teachers to share their insights on ‘school readiness,’ offering families valuable guidance on how to best prepare their child for the move to primary school.
- School transition statements: Our Early Childhood Teachers prepare detailed Transition Statements for each child, outlining their strengths, interests, and learning progress. These statements are shared with families and schools to support a seamless transition into school.
These opportunities ensure that both children and parents feel informed, supported, and well-equipped for this important milestone in their educational journey.

Kindergarten program with long day care hours
Whether you’re a parent who works, studies, or simply needs additional flexibility in your day, our enhanced learning program offers the perfect balance of quality early education and extended care. We provide access to the Victorian Government’s “Best Start, Best Life” Kinder Program within a long daycare setting, ensuring children receive a structured, play-based learning experience while benefiting from longer care hours.
Our centre offers flexible long daycare options, with session lengths of up to 9, 10, 11, or 12 hours, catering to different family needs. Plus, families can take advantage of our combined Kindergarten and Long Daycare program, which includes 15 hours per week, 600 hours per year, at low or no cost. ** This means your child gets the best start in their educational journey while you enjoy the convenience and support of extended care options.

Frequently asked questions
In Australia, sessional kindergartens or preschools are usually operated by local government, religious organisations, schools, private organisations or the community. They usually run during school term and school hours, meaning the program runs for 40 weeks per year, with most sessions finishing up around 2 pm, over 2-3 days per week.
The kindergarten or preschool program is also offered in long day care centres. Most long day care centres are open from 7:00 AM. to 6:00 PM, Monday to Friday with flexible drop-off/pick-up times to better accommodate busy working families. Long day care centres run 52 weeks per year, meaning your child would not miss out on valuable learning opportunities during school holidays.
Nutritional meals and snacks are covered in long day care centres, so you don’t have to worry about packing lunches.
Child Care Subsidy still applies when your child attends the kindergarten or preschool programs offered in long day care services. Depending on your state or territory, different funding options can be combined with your Child Care Subsidy savings, making kindergarten or preschool more affordable for your family.
Essentially, there is no difference between the curriculums adopted by long day care and sessional kindergarten or preschool providers. They are both run by qualified early childhood teachers, and they all align with Early Years Learning Framework, focusing on supporting individual children’s development, interests and needs through play-based and intentional learning experiences.
If your child is already settled at a long day care centre, they have the opportunity to stay in a familiar environment, transitioning together with their friends.
To receive the Best Start, Best Life Kinder subsidy, your child needs to turn 4 years on or before 30th April 2024 and enrolled in a funded Kindergarten program in 2024.

Your child must attend a minimum of 2 days of Kinder per week, across which can be applied over 52 weeks of the year.

All our kindergarten programs run every day of the week. This means families have the flexibility for their child/ren to receive the highest quality learning experiences on days that best support them.
The benefit of attending a G8 Education long day care centre is our enhanced learning program combines play-based long daycare programming plus the government approved Best Start, Best Life Kindergarten program. Our program runs 5 days a week for 52 weeks of the year. During the period where the government funded kindergarten does not apply, your CCS will reduce your out of pocket expense.

If you are eligible for the Childcare Subsidy (CCS), the CCS will apply on these additional days and reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Attending 2 days or more supports your child’s learning, development and wellbeing to experience a successful school transition as a more confident and engaged learner.

No, you can only access funding at one centre for 15 hours a week, which can be applied over 52 weeks.

We have good news for families who are not eligible for CCS.
The VIC Government will subsidise the 15 hours per week of free Kindergarten, which can be applied across 52 weeks. Outside of these subsidised hours, full fees will be applied.
