History

The Kindergarten was built on land purchased by the Kindergarten Union of South Australia on 30th March 1979. Plans for the building were submitted to the Noarlunga Council and approved for building on the 6th February 1981. The building was completed on the 2nd December 1981. The Centre was first occupied during 1982 and was officially opened by Mr. Lance Hoare, from the Kindergarten Union of South Australia, on 2nd April 1982.

We have recently finished a major upgrade of the outdoor area by erecting a fort, a slippery dip and a clatter bridge. Also a new cubby house has been erected and the sandpit has undergone renovations this year. New floor treatments and a repaint of the indoor area are planned over the next two years.

Books are available for borrowing each day. Please supply a bag (material) to help keep the books cared for and clean. When borrowing books please write your child’s name on the card and place it in the file alphabetically (file is next to the cash box). On return of the book, please place in the yellow letterbox near the cash box cupboard.
