Norman Park Community Kindergarten is a not-for-profit kindergarten managed by a committee of parents who support our high educator to child ratios of one teacher and two educators to 25 children.
​
Our community kindergarten is affiliated with The Lady Gowrie, who support us as our Central Governing Body.
​
Our natural kindy grounds are extensive on 1882m² of land and as we are a one unit centre,

there are only ever 25 children on site. Our philosophy views children as capable, competent and eager to learn. We foster children’s learning and development through our child led, play based open indoor outdoor curriculum.
​
From 2021 the new program hours will be:
Kookaburras - 3 days every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday from 8.30am to 2.30pm; and
Lorikeets - 2 longer days every Thursday and Friday from 8am to 3.30pm.
​
In 2021 the Kindy Club program is available for families in the Kookaburras group. This is a separate service providing before and after kindy care from 7.30am to 8.30am and 2.30pm to 4.30pm.
​
Kindy Club will also be offered for the Lorikeets in the afternoon from 3.30pm to 5pm.
​
We have been rated as 'Exceeding' under the National Quality Framework and we continue to deliver exceptional programs for children in this community.

At NPCK we value and advocate for children to have large periods of unstructured play and we see the benefits everyday in so many ways♥️

There does not need to be a focus or outcome of play for it to be valuable 👏🙌

Why do we love unstructured (or free) play so much? Read on:

💡 Creativity Boost: Unstructured play encourages kids to think outside the box, invent scenarios, and explore their imagination freely.

🧠 Problem-Solving Skills: When kids engage in unstructured play, they encounter challenges and learn to solve them on their own. This builds resilience and critical thinking from an early age.

🤝 Social Skills: Whether it's building forts with friends or playing make-believe games with siblings, unstructured play teaches valuable social skills like cooperation, negotiation, and empathy.

❤️ Physical Development: Running, jumping, climbing—unstructured play gets those muscles moving and promotes physical health.

😊 Stress Relief: In today's fast-paced world, unstructured play offers a break from schedules and screens. It's a chance for kids to unwind, relax, and just be kids.
