Does Kindy Cottage have disability access?
There is access from the carpark, to the front door and throughout most areas of the building and to outside areas. This is a heritage-listed building, so you are welcome to visit and do a walk through the building to check if accessibility is suitable.
What does my child’s daily routine look like?
- The children are generally grouped by age: Kindergarten is 4 to 5yrs; then 2 to 3yrs; and 0 to 2yrs.
- Your child meets the others in the group, their teachers, and enjoys meals together.
- Their special belongings are housed in one of the specially-designed playrooms.
- The group ages are a guide only and dependant on individual readiness.
- Like families, children mix with all ages throughout the day.
- But time is also reserved for same-age opportunities.
Babies

- Toddlers can move from indoors to outdoors safely.
