Pakenham Kindergarten

Welcome to Pakenham Kindergarten, where we create opportunities for children to explore, imagine, play, and uncover the wonders of their world!

In our tailored 3 and 4-year-old Kindergarten programs, your child will engage in play-based learning, exploration, and endless fun. Our program is designed around the interests of children to allow them to discover, challenge themselves, and take risks.

Kindergarten is an exciting phase for both children and families, and our goal at Pakenham Kindergarten is to ensure everyone leaves with cherished and joyful memories.

Our Service

We are a 33-place sessional kindergarten offering:

• Sessional 3-year-old kindergarten; and
• Sessional 4-year-old kindergarten.

Our kindergarten terms align with Victorian school terms.

Our Approach

One Tree’s educational program aligns with the Victorian Early Years Learning and the National Framework.  We are inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophical belief, that educators are co-learners who collaborate with children.

We’re displaying the Kinder Tick to show we’re an approved provider of a Victorian Government funded and approved kindergarten program. That means our service delivers a play-based learning program, led by a qualified early childhood teacher.

The Kinder Tick shows we meet the criteria in the funding guidelines set out by the Victorian Government — which means you can have confidence your child’s learning and development will be supported by qualified early childhood teachers and educators through a responsive, evidence-based learning program.
