Lake Bolac
Kindergarten

Our Centre

Lake Bolac Kindergarten provides quality preschool education, meeting the needs of children in a safe, caring and stimulating environment. Our educators work as a team to provide high quality care and education.

We recognise that families are children’s first teachers and that the best outcomes for children are achieved by working in partnership with families. We do this through open communication, where information is shared and opportunities are made for decision making in all aspects of our program.

We aim to create an atmosphere which makes all families and children feel welcome and respected, and where cultural differences and similarities are appreciated. We recognise that Australia is made up of many diverse cultures and that respecting these cultures means valuing and reflecting them within our curriculum. For Australia this includes promoting understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing and being.

Our environment is caring and nurturing and a place where children can feel secure, valued and included. It’s a place where every child can learn through play, grow and develop at their own pace.

Lake Bolac and District 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
