Autumn Place Kindergarten

Melbourne Child Care lists Autumn Place Kindergarten in Doveton, who continued to provide excellent After School Care care, education and support for the children and their families of Doveton Australia.

Kindergarten is an important year for every child. It is the foundation stone upon which formal education will later rest. The kindergarten year occurs at a time when children have achieved a level of mastery in language, co-ordination and social skills along with thinking and logical reasoning.

It is the perfect timing for exploration, and investigation, and the learning of life skills through trial and error. Kindergarten helps to prepare children for life in the everyday world, by encouraging the development of, listening to one another, speaking, allowing others to speak and share ideas, respect for one another and the world around them, turn taking, patience, curiosity and seeing themselves as one of a larger group.

The Kindergarten environments both indoors and outdoors are set up as learning ‘spaces' providing a wide range of materials, resources and equipment to support children's ideas. These environments assist in building the capacity for knowledge of the world around them, scientific concepts, numeracy, and literacy.

Teachers work on an individual basis with each child on something they show interest in, to ensure that children remain motivated and continue concentrating on their work for longer periods of time. The development of the ‘whole child' is seen as a vitally important component of a Kindergarten program.
