In our four-year old program, we engage children in the co-creation of learning experiences, nurturing their interests. Our focus in four-year-old classes lies in fostering cooperative learning, collaboration, and enjoyment, all anchored with play!

Children attending four-year-old kindergarten are encouraged to develop a variety of motor, play, social, self-help and communication skills.

During a regular session we will offer children time for:

• Indoor activity play
• Outdoor activity play
• Group experiences such as stories, music, movement, dancing, games and drama.
• Morning snack/lunch/afternoon tea

Through a blend of developmental play and structured group activities, children develop essential skills and attitudes that pave the way for future learning achievements. Our educators actively support children in building resilience, independence, and self-help abilities.

Establishing routines and fostering group participation are fundamental aspects of preparing for school transition. We provide ample opportunities for early literacy and numeracy skill development, integrating formal group learning sessions with informal learning moments, with learning through play at the heart. Furthermore, our educators prioritise the development of motor skills, social skills, and self-regulation, ensuring children are well-equipped for the exciting transition to school! 

All of these elements are facilitated by our team of qualified and nurturing educators who are deeply passionate about fostering early learning experiences, and enabled by our host of incredible facilities, including purpose-built outdoor sensory play (mud kitchen), active play & soft fall area, indoor play zones with a focus on imagination & creativity.

The CDPS 4-year-old program looks to develop in our children resilience, independence, and love for learning that will serve them throughout their educational journey and beyond.
