Kindergarten life is an important step for your child. The task of picking the right kindergarten can often be a difficult choice and in some cases a long process. Kindergarten is a time for children to expand their general knowledge, their love of learning and their ability to communicate, socialise and interact with other children and adults.

While kindergarten marks an important transition from child care and other preschool environments, it is important that children still get to be children and enjoy this stage of life. Kindergarten is a time to start preparing children for school life as well as simply having fun!

10 Indications of a Good Kindergarten:

• Children and their parents actually look forward to Kindergarten. Parents feel piece of mind sending their child to the kindergarten and children are happy and eagerly look forward to attending the next class.
• Teachers and aides read books to the children throughout the day, not just at story time.
• Children get the opportunity to play outside every day when weather permits and enjoy life outdoors in addition to the classroom environment.
• Children are actively playing and interacting with different activities and other children. They are not unhappily wandering or forced to sit quietly for long periods of time.
• Kindergarten staff encourage activities and events outside of Kindergarten hours involving parents to show how the children have progressed during the term.

• Kindergarten staff interact with the children using different styles across individual children, small groups, and the whole group at various times throughout the day.
• The Kindergarten curriculum is adapted for those who are more advanced as well as those who need additional help. It's not a one size fits all approach.
• Children are given the opportunity to try a multitude of activities during the day such as finger painting, building blocks, reading and project type activities with groups of other children to promote social awareness.
• The classroom is highly decorated with children’s colourful artwork.
• Children learn and become familiar with numbers and the alphabet using them in different situations throughout the day.
