The start of a journey
The Glennie Community Kindergarten is filled with young boys and girls who are full of hope and imagination. They are optimistic, enthusiastic, and ready to learn.
Our Kindergarten and Pre-Prep programs are the start of an exciting and rewarding journey.
Children are given new opportunities to explore, discover, and grow together while developing their talents.
Glennie’s play-based curriculum is full of inspiring learning experiences that sustain every child’s engagement and develop their creativity, social skills, emotional wellbeing and higher-order thinking. Literacy, numeracy, and technology are integrated into the program to ensure your child is well prepared for the transition to Prep.
Providing an engaging environment
Located within the grounds of the Junior School, our Kindergarten provides spacious indoor and outdoor environments, with natural play areas inviting young learners to explore and discover as they build their curiosity, confidence, and competence.
Children are encouraged in independent and collaborative play and our experienced educators use early childhood learning strategies to provide support and guidance.
Throughout the year, Glennie’s specialist Junior Years teachers introduce the Kindergarten children to dance, perceptual motor skills, religious education, music, art, and the library.
Developing their creativity and curiosity
At the Glennie Community Kindergarten, your child will establish strong foundations to become a successful and a confident learner.
The Kindergarten provides engaging learning experiences that will inspire your child to explore and develop their creativity and curiosity. Our teachers support and extend each child’s learning by encouraging skills in creative play, problem-solving, literacy and numeracy, listening, motor development, and socialisation.
Our dynamic program facilitates learning through a play-based approach, fostering creativity and individuality to encourage active and informed young learners. To keep our program exciting and relevant, special guests and events are incorporated into the weekly program.
The Glennie Community Kindergarten
The Glennie Community Kindergarten is a Queensland Government Approved Kindergarten that follows the Early Years Framework (EYLF). The Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline (QKLG) builds on this framework, providing teachers with specific advice on delivering a quality program for children in the years to Prep.
The curriculum concentrates on the learning and development areas of identity, connectedness, wellbeing, active learning, and communication.
Facilities made for exploration and discovery
Fairy garden or construction zone. Scientist or adventurer. Whatever the play, our well-resourced and beautifully maintained Kindergarten encourages children to explore, experiment, and imagine. With large indoor and outdoor classrooms, children have ample opportunities to immerse themselves in a variety of worlds, both real and imaginary.
Indoor and outdoor play areas
Our backyard play area is full of play-based learning equipment, including a playground, two large sandpits, a hidden tunnel with its own hill, and a magical mulberry tree that provides different play spaces as the season changes. Shaded by sails, pergolas, and mature trees, our play spaces create areas for children to be active or enjoy some quiet time.
Our indoor spaces are made up of two classrooms that are interconnected and designed to incorporate a variety of learning areas, which enhance and enrich imaginative play.
