Our Program

Welcome to Glen Oak Kindergarten

We welcome you to Glen Oak Kindergarten and hope that you and your child will have an enjoyable year. We value the support and contributions that our families make to our community and we hope to foster an environment in which everyone feels welcome and accepted.

Program Framework

Our kindergarten programs have been created by our trained teachers and are underpinned by the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF) and the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) – Belonging, Being and Becoming.

Glen Oak KG Program

At Glen Oak Kindergarten we appreciate that each child is unique in the way they learn and develop. Our Kindergarten program is developed to reflect this and to observe and evaluate the children’s focus learning areas.

We believe that the family is the first teacher and are essential in establishing positive learning outcomes for the children. We welcome and encourage the families to attend and participate in our sessions. We value the collaboration and partnerships we foster with our families.
