Our kindergarten’s philosophy guides our teaching and approach to early learning.

Our Children and Family Centres in Bayswater and Wantirna South bring together long day care, kindergarten, maternal and child health services and playgroups in one location. Belmont Bayswater Kindergarten has a strong focus on the importance of children’s play in developing meaningful learning experiences. At Skole, our experienced teachers and staff help facilitate this period of learning, and that’s what separates us from traditional child care facilities. We run 3 and 4 year old Kindergarten programs which are play-based to allow the children to explore and experiment within our safe, educational environment.
Many of our educators have been with the centre for several years and bring a wealth of knowledge about the children, families, and local community. This is a team that shows up every day with care, professionalism, and a commitment to quality early education. They want to learn and explore, which is why we teach through play-based learning. It supports language, motor skills, memory, emotions and social relationships.
We're proud to be recognised once again for our enduring commitment to supporting and empowering our staff to deliver safe, high-quality early learning.

Our evidence-based Rhythm and Movement for Self-Regulation (RAMSR) program is designed to develop fundamental skills that help support children’s self-regulation, memory, and concentration. It is an innovative approach to holistic learning, development and well-being in early childhood. Over the years, I’ve learnt that children are incredibly capable, curious, and resilient.
With a blend of play-based learning and structured activities, we provide a solid foundation for your child’s educational journey in Melbourne and throughout Victoria. This program ensures children receive a high-quality early learning experience, funded by the government. As a long day care service, Bayswater Childcare and Kinder allows families to seamlessly access these funded hours in an inclusive and supportive environment.
