At Little St Margaret’s, we understand that every child and family has unique needs. That’s why we offer two thoughtfully designed options for our 3-year-old kindergarten program:

• Blue Group: Two full days, 8.30am – 3:00pm (Tuesday and Thursday)

• Green Group: Two half days, 8.30am – 12:00pm (Monday and Friday) and one full day, 8.30am – 3:00pm (Wednesday)

Both groups follow the same rich and engaging curriculum, ensuring consistency in learning outcomes, regardless of the schedule chosen.

Our 3-year-old program is designed to gently introduce children to early education in a nurturing, stimulating, and supportive environment. Key features include:

• A warm and intimate learning environment set in our beautiful, historic building

• Exceptionally small class sizes, allowing for individualised attention and care

• Rest opportunities thoughtfully incorporated into long days to meet the needs of each child

• Flexible attendance options, with the ability to increase your child’s time at kinder through the extended care program

• Weekly rotating Yoga and Music sessions, nurturing children's creativity, self-expression, physical coordination, and confidence.

• Regular incursions that enrich learning through real-world experiences—past visitors have included magicians, drama performers, animal handlers, dietitians, dentists, sustainability experts, and visual artists

• A smooth and supportive transition to 4-year-old kindergarten, fostering confidence and readiness for the next stage

• Ongoing communication with families, including informal conversations at pick-up and written reflections to keep you connected to your child’s learning journey

Our 3-year-old program provides a gentle yet inspiring start to your child’s educational path, laying the groundwork for a lifelong love of learning.
