Padua Kindergarten is an exclusive, locally owned Kindergarten that offers Peninsula families an alternative to the large businesses which have taken over much of the early childhood industry. Padua embraces a play-based philosophy which encourages respect for the outdoors, the sunshine and rain, gardening and sustainable living. We foster a natural, positive and stimulating learning environment, encouraging creative thinking, budding artistic passions, imaginative play and most importantly, as part of a young person’s journey; embracing and nurturing their developing positive sense of self.
Padua Kindergarten offers an extended hours registered structured Kindergarten program for three and four year olds. Our school readiness program ensures Padua children are ready for the next part of their journey into primary.
Rather than competing, Padua offers a high quality alternative. Padua believes parents to be as much a part of Padua’s journey as their children. Padua has a policy to interview all new families seeking enrolment.
