Isabel Henderson Kindergarten

Isabel Henderson Kindergarten is a children’s centre which provides a range of carefully planned play based programs to meet the developmental needs of children in the three to five age group. Special emphasis is given to children who are in the year before school commencement, recognising that we believe kindergarten is a preparation for life.

We believe that play is crucial to the development of children. It is the way they explore, discover and learn about their world, each other and themselves. Our programs are based on our observations of the children and our understanding of Early Childhood principles and reflecting the National Early Years Learning Framework.

Learning through play allows children to explore experience, communicate, observe, reflect, create, collaborate, cooperate, problem-solve and imagine. Our programs are designed to facilitate these processes. Children are encouraged to exercise independence and choice and to initiate play ideas, to focus their attention and to achieve intrinsic satisfaction.
