Experience awe, wonder, curiosity and creativity at Bilbungra Kindergarten!
Offering 4 year old Kindergarten programs, Bilbungra Kindergarten uses interactive play with the support of our wonderful Educators.
Our Educators identify the strengths and interests of the children and design the environment and activities around them. We use open-ended materials that enable children to use their imagination in creating their own learning and discovery.
We value both the indoor and outdoor environment equally and see all types of weather as a learning opportunity. This gives the children the chance to explore, take risks and be creative.

FAMILIES
We acknowledge that the families are the first teachers of the child and therefore we listen to and learn from them while supporting them in their role of nurturing children.
We assist families to develop a sense of belonging and engage in shared decision making in the interest of the child. We respect the uniqueness of each family and strive to learn about their culture, customs and lifestyles. We share the planning, monitoring and assessment practices for children’s learning and communicate this in ways that families understand.
We respect the privacy of families and therefore maintain confidentiality.
COMMUNITIES
We strive to connect with the local communities to promote and enhance the children’s learning and understanding of the world around them.
Local communities are invited to share their knowledge and experience with the children to extend their learning and provide them with hands on experience of learning.
EDUCATORS & LEARNING
Our educators are respectful and supportive of each other, the children, the families and the community. We value the process of play as a learning tool and hence our planning is based on the child’s knowledge and interests.
Our educators recognise and value the uniqueness of each child’s leaning and provide a program accordingly.
THE ENVIRONMENT
As educators we acknowledge the environment (indoor and outdoor) as the third teacher and therefore make the setting educative and explorative.
We passionately promote the use of natural resources as a learning tool.
