Bundoora
Preschool

Our Centre

Bundoora Preschool is a community based preschool and offers both three-year-old and four-year-old programs. Located in the Banyule City Council area, we are in close proximity to public transport, as well as the local primary and secondary schools.

We believe play is natural and vital to the development of every child. Emphasis is placed on the provision of opportunities, in both three and four-year-old groups, for children to play and experiment through open-ended experiences and more structured activities.

Bundoora Preschool is a wonderful place for a child to begin their early education. When a family becomes a part of the pre-school community, they become a part of something very special!

Bundoora Preschool proudly displays the Kinder Tick to help families feel confident that our program is recognised as a funded kindergarten program and:

  • Is led by qualified staff
  • Children benefit from play-based learning
  • The kindergarten program is funded and approved by the Victorian Government
  • Our program complies with government guidelines and the National Quality Framework
