St Linus' Anglican Kindergarten

Child Care Find lists St Linus' Anglican Kindergarten in Merlynston, who continued to provide excellent After School Care care, education and support for the children and their families of Merlynston Australia.

St Linus’ Anglican Kindergarten has been working with the Anglican and local community for over 60 years and is a focal point for the Merlynston community. Our caring and professional educators offer three and four year old kindergarten program in a safe and secure environment where children can express themselves, celebrate diversity and enjoy kindergarten.

We take a holistic approach to children’s learning journey. We embrace the principles, practices and learning outcomes in the Early Years Learning Framework for Australia – Belonging, Being and Becoming; and the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework. We acknowledge the importance of transitions for our families, and we strive to support each child and their family as they experience a time of transition with us.

It is our experience that children are much more receptive to learning when learning experiences involve their own exploration and speak to their own interests. Through this sort of play-based learning, children’s innate eagerness, curiosity and desire to learn is cultivated. We believe that children should be actively involved in their own learning, through “hands-on” experiences. In helping each child to feel comfortable at kinder, children develop self-confidence, independence and belief in themselves and their abilities.
