4-Year Old Kindergarten

Growing in Confidence: Preparing children for a confident start to school

Our 4-Year-Old Kindergarten program supports children as they prepare for the exciting transition to Prep and formal schooling.

Through a rich combination of play-based learning, inquiry, specialist programs and
school readiness experiences, children develop the skills, confidence and independence needed for a successful start to school.

Building School Readiness

School readiness is about much more than letters and numbers.

At Kingswood College, children develop the capabilities that support future learning,
including:

• Confidence and independence
• Communication skills
• Emotional resilience
• Social awareness
• Literacy and numeracy skills
• Problem-solving skills
• Collaboration and teamwork
Our experienced educators work closely with families to ensure each child is supported
according to their individual strengths and needs.

A Seamless Transition to Prep

Because our Kindergarten is part of a Prep to Year 12 school, children become familiar with the people and places that will form part of their future learning journey.

Throughout the year, children engage with aspects of school life including:
• ELC/Junior School Buddies Program Shared events and celebrations, for
example Book Week, Lunar New Year, Easter and Christmas services
• Specialist learning spaces
• Assemblies and community activities

By the time children enter Prep, the environment already feels familiar and
welcoming.

Specialist Learning Opportunities

Children in our 4-Year-Old Kindergarten participate in specialist programs including:

• Music
• Chinese
• Visual Arts
• Library
• Perceptual Motor Program (PMP)

These experiences support creativity, communication, physical development and confidence while enriching children's learning beyond the traditional kindergarten setting.

More Than a Kindergarten

At Kingswood College, 4-Year-Old Kindergarten is the beginning of a connected educational journey.

Children are encouraged to imagine who they might become as they see musicians, artists, athletes, leaders and performers learning across the campus every day.

Small beginnings can lead to big futures.

Attendance Options

Families can choose to enrol their child in the program for 2, 3, 4 or 5 days each week.

The specific days of attendance can be selected to suit each family's circumstances, subject to availability when enrolment is confirmed.
