We are a safe, respectful, culturally responsive, caring and welcoming community.
Our Vision
A nurturing kindergarten environment where children, families and educators collaborate to create a program and environment where children are safe, challenged and respected. Where children can work with others to become resilient, respectful and connected to the natural world, the local community and the wider world. At NBK, we work toward being a part of a wider, healthy community.
mission Statement
The children, families, committee and staff work together to communicate openly and work to develop relationships based on respect to develop well-rounded quality three and four-year-old kinder programs where children develop a love of learning in a safe, respectful, challenging and connected environment, and where families feel a sense of community and connection
Our philosophy
Every child is individually supported to participate in the program and to develop a love of learning
North Brighton Kindergarten is a community that is
• Partnership-based, safe and respectful
• Welcoming and celebrates diversity
• Culturally-responsive, caring and welcoming.
We working closely with families. We believe that children’s wellbeing is positively influenced when families and educators work in partnership. It allows us to be responsive to the interests and abilities of every child, and ensures all voices contribute to the planning and implementation of the program.
We maintain strong connections with local schools, early childhood professionals and support services. This ensures every child benefits from support to participate fully, and develops a love of learning and a sense of belonging and connection.
As educators, our planning is deliberate, thoughtful and purposeful. It’s designed for children to be exposed to new ideas, experiences and knowledge. It’s designed to extend and enrich children’s play and thinking, now and into their futures.
We are respectful. We say thank you to the Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin nation on whose biik we play and learn. We commit to Bundjil’s law and embedding First Peoples history, culture and language into all aspects of our program, as we continue on our Reconciliation journey. We support each child to connect with the natural environment.
“Both my children have been lucky enough to experience NBK and loved every minute. A big part of this is thanks to the amazing teaching staff. Kim and Kate are goddesses in our house.”
