Our kindergarten community

A sense of belonging in the North Brighton Kindergarten community

North Brighton Kindergarten is a community kindergarten with a focus on setting an example for children about voluntary participation looks like. NBK’s strong community connections are a great way to affirm children's sense of belonging.

We encourage family involvement during kinder sessions by doing ‘kinder duty’, and a range of incursions and excursions.

In the classroom

  • Being in the classroom. Children love having a parent or guardian assist at kindergarten and families are encouraged to help twice a term. It involves helping the educators with supporting activities such as sorting our children’s artwork.

  • Helping to take the children on excursions.

  • Reading stories, playing a musical instrument to your children’s class group.

Outside of the classroom

  • North Brighton Kindergarten is run by a Committee of Management made up of volunteers from our families. Read how you can contribute or read the reports presented at the annual general meetings here.

  • Participating in fundraising and social activities. Some fundraising activities are for specific major projects such as purchasing new playground equipment.

  • Collecting materials for collage and pasting – please do not throw out any interesting boxes, ribbons, wrapping paper or old clothes for dress ups.

  • Kindergarten working bees are a great way to contribute, meet other families and lead by example.

  • Mending/sewing toys or smocks, washing smocks and dress-ups support the kindergarten.
