STATEMENT OF COMMITMENT TO
CHILD SAFETY
Gardiner Preschool is committed to ensuring that all children who are educated and cared for feel safe and supported at all times within a culturally safe environment. We aim to create a culture of participation where a child's voice is valued. We employ a zero-tolerance approach to child abuse and racism and we work actively with children and families to empower children to have autonomy over their bodies. We want to see children thrive, so we commit to making this a safe and trusted place for all children of all abilities during their time at Gardiner Preschool.
GARDINER PRESCHOOL IS OPTING IN TO THE FREE KINDER INITIATIVE IN 2023.
Children will receive up to 15hrs of kindergarten for free in 2023, with a reduced gap fee for hours offered above 15hrs per week.
Please refer to the 2023 fees item under the Program & Fees menu tab for more details.
Tucked away by one of Glen Iris bluestone laneways is Gardiner Pre-School. A place where three and four year old children come to explore, inquire, create and most importantly play. Led by a team of dedicated and conscientious teachers and educators, your child will be encouraged to learn about the world, and their place in it, through carefully crafted programs and provocations.
Gardiner Pre-School thrives as part of a wider community, with amazing family and teacher connections as well as relationships with our wider community to ensure that each child reaches their full potential.
WE ARE CURRENTLY RATED AS "MEETING NATIONAL STANDARDS" UNDER THE NATIONAL QUALITY FRAMEWORK!
