Play-based
Play and imagination are central to Kinma Preschool. Through a play based curriculum, children develop self-motivation and the ability to make their own choices. Children use a wide range of cognitive and life skills as they play.
Kinma Preschool
Kinma preschool offers a play-based, child-centred curriculum in a challenging, nurturing and exciting learning environment. Play and imagination are integral to our education approach and children can choose to participate in a wide range of activities during the preschool day.
Kinma Preschool completed the new NQS assessment and ratings process with the NSW Office of Education and Communities and was assessed with an overall rating of: EXCEEDING NATIONAL QUALITY STANDARD
Aims & objectives
Kinma Preschool provides a warm, friendly, relaxed and secure environment where children are safe to be themselves. A central aim of Kinma Preschool is to make the child's transition from home to preschool as positive as possible.
Meet our educators
Kinma Preschool educators base their programmes upon recognised stages of child development. Our educators create high levels of friendly interaction and encourage parental participation.
Learning programme
In Preschool, we have always operated with the now recognised new National Quality Framework Standards (NQF). These include relationships with children, educational program and practice, children’s health and safety, physical environment, staffing arrangements, collaborative partnerships with families and communities and leadership and service management.

Preschool parent participation
It is basic to Kinma's philosophy and day to day operation that home and school environment are compatible, and that parents are aware of and involved in their child's education.
Transition to primary
Kinma has a strong transition to school program developed in consultation with preschool and primary staff, children and their families, to give children the best possible start to their school journey. The program caters to the individual needs of all children who will be starting school the following year, whether or not that school is Kinma.
