Dingo’s Room 🐕
4 – 5 years (4-Year-Old Sessional Kindergarten)
Dingo’s Room is designed for confident, curious children ready to take the final step before school. Our large, engaging classroom encourages independence, exploration, and a love for learning.
✨ Routine & Learning
Children follow a structured daily routine with active play, focused STEAM sessions, outdoor time, and quiet reflection. Our STEAM educational program (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Maths) runs alongside our school readiness program, helping children develop early literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving skills.
💖 Educator Support
Our bachelor-trained Kindergarten Teacher guides children through hands-on activities that promote creativity, confidence, social skills, and independent thinking. Mid-year parent-teacher interviews provide feedback on your child’s progress and readiness for school.

🏊 Extra-Curricular Activities
Children participate in optional swimming and gymnastics classes (parent-funded). Small groups of children are accompanied by two educators for these fun, skill-building excursions.
🍎 Nutrition & Care
Children bring a packed lunch box full of healthy food ready for the day. This helps them prepare for school and teaches independence and responsibility as they manage their own lunch.
🚶 Community & Excursions
Children have opportunities for local excursions to parks, libraries, and other community spaces to explore, build stamina, and extend their social and emotional skills.
Our School Readiness Program is designed to give children the confidence, skills, and independence they need as they transition to primary school. Through play-based and intentional learning, we focus on the key developmental areas that set children up for success in their first year of school. The program includes: Early literacy and numeracy skills – recognising letters and sounds, developing vocabulary, exploring numbers, counting, shapes, and problem-solving. Self-help and independence – encouraging children to manage their belongings, follow routines, and take responsibility for their learning. Social and emotional development – building resilience, confidence, and positive relationships with peers and teachers. Fine and gross motor skills – activities that strengthen hand control for writing and drawing, as well as balance, coordination, and physical confidence. Inquiry and curiosity – fostering a love of learning through hands-on projects, group discussions, and exploration. Our educators work in partnership with families to support each child’s individual readiness, ensuring they feel excited and prepared for the big step into school.
