The Victor and Odette Ades Memorial Kindergarten is accredited to provide long-day care for children from 3 years of age until they reach Kindergarten age (usually 4 years.
Our programme for 3 year olds introduces the children to an environment of learning, play and interaction with each other and our carers. For some children it is the first time they have entered structured care.
We provide our children in Long-Day Care with a warm, caring environment that stimulates curiosity, encourages creativity and promotes learning through care.
Our Carers ensure that children from 3 years old:
