About Banyan Fields
Kindergarten is a time to learn, play and have fun. At Banyan Fields Kindergarten we provide the children with a variety of opportunities across all areas of development. We provide high-quality play based programs that deliver many learning opportunities for children to expand upon their understanding of literacy, numeracy, science and the environment. In addition, we value social learning and provide many creative thinking opportunities.
Banyan Fields Kindergarten offers all children allied health screenings at no cost. These screenings focus on the children’s fine motor & gross motor, sensory processing thinking skills, social/ emotional skills.
We embrace diversity and are proud of the wide variety of cultures that are represented in our centre. We value all families and children and the wide range of abilities and interests they bring to our centre. We incorporate these influences and ideas into our planning for programs that are fun, engaging and extend the children’s learning and development.
Our programs include sustainability principles, a health and wellbeing focus and a strong belief that children are connected to the wider community and the environment. We feature outdoor experiences with lots of outdoor play and gardening opportunities.
Banyan Fields Kindergarten is located in the Banyan Fields Child and Family Centre. You’ll also find Maternal and Child Health facilities and a community room. It’s a new, bright and modern centre located on the grounds of Banyan Fields Primary School; the school teachers and the kinder teachers work closely together to improve the outcomes of the children.
