Talbot Kindergarten is a small, friendly centre located in the quiet township of Talbot.
At Talbot Kindergarten we believe that children learn best through play, discovery and being actively involved in their learning. Our Kindergarten is family-centred and focuses on the connections that children have with their family and community.
We create a learning environment that is welcoming, safe, fun and is in harmony with the natural environment.
Talbot Kindergarten proudly displays the Kinder Tick to help families feel confident that our program is recognised as a funded kindergarten program and:

We offer free 3 and 4 year old kindergarten, with our programs running 15 hours a week.
Excursions and incursions are a key part of our curriculum. Venturing out into the local area allows children to explore the world around them, and feel a part of their community.
Our curriculum celebrates multiculturalism and includes a variety of cultural events throughout the year. We celebrate diversity of culture, abilities, ideas and interests.
Our program supports children with the exciting period of change that marks their transition to primary school. Strong partnerships with our local school help make this next step as smooth as possible.
Storypark connects our educators with parents, providing the ability to share news, service updates, progress and exciting moments from kinder to home!
We pride ourselves on our commitment to the safeguarding of children and young people, providing safe and fun environments for children to flourish.
Our kindergarten’s philosophy guides our teaching and approach to early learning. It is informed by the National Quality Framework and underpins all our service’s operations and daily practices.
For more details, please ask us for a copy of our Philosophy Statement.
The Y has been delivering Early Learning Programs for over 20 years and is passionate about creating safe, fun, educational environments where children can thrive. At the Y, we believe in the power of inspired young people and we feel there is no better time to begin inspiring than in an Early Learning program!
