Our Centre

Providing high-quality Kindergarten for over 60 years!

We provide 3 and 4 year old Kindergarten programs in a nourishing and safe environment.

To grow, develop and learn, children need to experience play-based learning that is engaging and open-ended. Play is a means for exploring, creating, discovering, imagining and communicating, as children begin to understand the world and community they are a part of.

Mt Waverley Preschool offers a program that will teach your child confidence and skills that last a lifetime.
