The Ewing experience goes beyond the classroom

The Ewing Experience

We believe that kindergarten is not merely preparation for school but preparation for life.

Our experienced team work together to empower the children to develop self-confidence, independence, resilience, and essential social skills through a diverse range of open-ended play experiences.

The approach has a foundation based on:

Nature Play: Our approach centres on meaningful and engaging play experiences that revolve around nature, sustainability, and the integration of First Nations perspectives and knowledge.

Tailored Education Programs: We craft education programs to ensure they align with the children's interests, strengths, and needs, creating a vibrant and responsive learning environment.

Welcoming and Inclusive Environment: We pride ourselves on our welcoming and inclusive setting. We prioritise building strong, reciprocal relationships with both our children and their families.

Strong Community Ties: We maintain deep ties with our local community, fostering a sense of belonging and an understanding of our interconnectedness with others.

The Ewing experience also goes beyond the classroom and includes:

Weekly Nature Kinder Program: Our four-year-old groups at Hedgeley Dene Gardens enjoy an enriching nature program.

Incursions and Excursions: Throughout the year, we offer a wide range of activities, from music, yoga, sports, and languages to indigenous experiences, cooking, local field trips, and nature-based excursions, including a botanical garden visit.

Embedding First Nations Culture: We integrate First Nations culture and heritage into our program with a strong focus on learning and caring for the land. Sustainability practices and behaviours are built with the children.

Community Engagement: Our extensive social and community calendar ensures that both children and families can engage, meet local families, and build strong connections in the community.

Lasting Friendships: Children attending Ewing often form lasting friendships, many of whom choose to transition to local primary schools.

The Ewing experience is unique for both the children and their families. To learn more about our kindergarten and meet the team, book a tour today.
