Our Programs

At Brentwood Park Kindergarten, our programs are designed to support your child as they grow, learn and develop. Through our 3-year-old and 4-year-old kindergarten programs, we provide a consistent, nature-rich environment where children feel safe to explore, build confidence, form friendships and develop a strong sense of belonging as they prepare for their next steps.

The Bush Kinder Experience

Nature is our classroom. Inspired by the Scandinavian "Forest School" model, our program utilises the local bushland to foster creative thinking and resilience.

We encourage open-ended play and safe risk-taking on the land of the Wurundjeri People, sharing their values of respect and gratitude for the environment. After a Term 1 transition focused on safety, our children spend their days investigating the natural world.

Incursions & Excursions

We bring the world to our doorstep with visitors like Myuna Farm, Wildlife Exposure, Wayapa Wuurk, Squiggle Kids, Body Safety Australia, Melbourne Museum, alongside community walks and safety training in our local neighbourhood. 4YO groups participate in an excursion to Kew Traffic School.

Indigenous perspectives are woven into our daily rhythm, from creating our own Rainbow Serpent to practising Acknowledgement of Country.
