Grace Berglund
Kindergarten

Our Centre

Grace Berglund Kindergarten strives to provide a friendly and open environment which is inclusive of all children and where families feel welcomed and valued. The kindergarten is located close to the centre of town in a quiet street with secure off-street parking. 

We provide a play-based learning environment which reflects the children’s interests and ideas, with open ended and creative experiences. 

Our environment is child focused, providing a range of materials, resources and opportunities in which children can engage and excel as confident learners. Our large play spaces, both outside under our vast shade protected playground or in our bright indoor space allow plenty of room to explore and learn.

Our experienced and friendly staff team is focused on providing quality educational experiences for all children.

Grace Berglund Kindergarten 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
