Kindergarten Programs at Seedlings Early Learning Centres

At Seedlings Early Learning Centres, our Kindergarten Programs are designed with your child’s future in mind. Focusing on school readiness through inquiry-based learning, our programs provide a rich environment where children can develop the foundational skills needed for formal schooling. We believe that children learn best when they explore, ask questions, and engage in play, which is why our Kindergarten Program embraces age-appropriate, child-directed activities that inspire curiosity and foster independence.

School Readiness through Inquiry-Based Learning

Our programs are built around inquiry-based learning that aligns with the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline (QKLG). This approach allows children to explore their interests, make discoveries, and develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Through engaging, play-based experiences, children build confidence, resilience, and a love for learning, which are all essential traits for a successful transition to school.

Key areas of focus include:

  • Social and Emotional Development: Our educators support children in developing positive relationships, managing emotions, and building self-regulation skills.
  • Language and Literacy: Through stories, songs, and conversations, children expand their vocabulary, strengthen communication skills, and develop early literacy foundations.
  • Mathematical Thinking: Hands-on activities encourage children to explore numbers, patterns, measurement, and spatial concepts, setting the stage for future mathematical learning.
  • Physical Skills: Both fine and gross motor skills are developed through activities that promote strength, coordination, and confidence in movement.

Queensland Kindergarten Funding and Guidelines

Seedlings Early Learning Centres are proud to offer programs supported by the Queensland Kindergarten Funding Scheme (QKFS). This funding ensures that every child has access to high-quality early learning experiences in the year before they begin formal schooling. By meeting the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline (QKLG), our programs provide a strong foundation that aligns with the Australian Curriculum, fostering a smooth transition to school.

The QKFS funding offers financial support to help make kindergarten more accessible for families. This support enables us to provide quality resources, highly qualified educators, and enriched learning experiences at an affordable rate. It also ensures that every child can benefit from a curriculum that focuses on their holistic development.
