The kindergarten runs a mixed age program. For the child turning four by April 31st in the year they attend, they are able to come for 16.5 hours per week. This comprises of 2 full days (9am - 3pm on either a Monday and Wednesday or a Tuesday and Thursday) and one half day (9am - 1:30pm Friday). Children turning three by April 31st have the option to attend kinder two morning sessions per week (9am - 12:30pm) on either a Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday. Please note; Conditions apply for attendance prior to a child’s 3rd birthday.
Please speak with the enrolment officer if you intend to enrol into East Bentleigh Primary School’s Steiner stream as a child needs to be turning 6 in the year they attend the Steiner prep program.
Our playgroup sessions operate out of Moorleigh Community Village (next door to the kinder) on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday mornings - 9:30am - 11:30am.
All our programs are based on the indications of Rudolf Steiner.
The Steiner philosophy on kindergarten education aims to ensure each child is physically, emotionally, and spiritually nurtured. Our program is play based and therefore promotes your child's natural development through play and exploration. The kindergarten is a bridge between home and school where your child develops skills and understandings of the world around them through a combination of home like activities including cooking, breadmaking, gardening and artistic activities such as water colour painting, beeswax crayon drawing and simple woolcraft. The Taraleigh environment aims to nurture the children's senses but not overwhelm them.
