Bunyip Kindergarten At Bunyip Kindergarten, we believe children are capable, confident learners. Our nurturing environment encourages exploration, play, and curiosity, laying the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. Play is central to our program, fostering creativity, problem-solving, and joy. We instil values of respect, kindness, and self-worth while celebrating Boonwurrung culture and the diversity of our community. Sustainability and care for Country are embedded in everyday practices, including Bush Kinder. Children are empowered to make choices, develop independence, and build emotional literacy through daily routines and experiences. We partner with families, our children’s first teachers, to create meaningful learning opportunities and a strong sense of belonging. Our educators embrace collaboration, reflection, and ongoing professional development to provide the highest quality education in a safe, inclusive environment. Our kindergarten has been at the heart of Bunyip’s close-knit community for nearly sixty years. We offer dynamic 3- and 4-year-old programs that foster curiosity and creativity in a nurturing, inclusive environment where children, families, and educators feel seen, heard, and valued. Our Bush Kinder program is a testament to what a bush kinder or any nature-based program can do to enhance a child’s learning trajectory.
