Welcome

Gardiner Preschool is a community run sessional kinder, with programs for three and four year old children.

We provide high quality programming that is child led and play based, where a child’s voice and agency is valued and elevated. We believe children learn best through play, which is vital to maximise learning.

We are very proud to have been assessed as exceeding the National Quality Standards in all seven areas, and will continue to strive for excellence in our programs.

At Gardiner Pre-School, we’re proud to hear stories like this one! We are grateful for the warm and inclusive environment we foster, where children feel at home from the moment they step inside. Our creative play areas and dedicated teachers help kids thrive and learn, bringing joy not only to them but also to their families.

We love hearing how Gardiner has positively impacted this family, and we’re excited for the future when more children can experience the same magic. 💛

Now is the time for our leaders to step up and help. Families are calling on the following people to come up with a solution: The Uniting Church Victoria and Tasmania, Lizzie Blandthorn, John Berger MP, Katherine Copsey MP, Mayor Cr Joe Gianfriddo, and Hon. Ben Carroll MP.

We are proud to share that Gardiner Pre-School has been rated Exceeding National Standards in all 7 areas during our recent National Quality Check! ✨

This isn’t just a regular achievement—receiving this rating with no areas for improvement is rare and requires a level of dedication and excellence that our staff consistently delivers. 🎓

The closure of Gardiner Pre-School would mean more than just losing a facility. It would mean the loss of an outstanding early learning environment that helps our children thrive. We need your support to keep this high-quality service alive for future generations.

Let’s protect Gardiner and the high standards it upholds!

Michael O’Brien MP, working with Georgie Crozier MP, urges the church to reconsider. Families are calling for support from John Berger MP, Katherine Copsey MP, Mayor Cr Joe Gianfriddo, and Hon. Ben Carroll MP.
