Since 1999, Ferguson Park Pre-School, has offered three year old kinder sessions to the community. They have been a great success, and form a very valuable part of our preschool environment.

As part of our enrolment policy, it states that all children must have turned three years of age, prior to 29 February in the year of commencement. It is a Department of Education and Training regulation that NO child can start sessions until they have turned three years of age.

Late enrolments will be taken throughout the year if there are vacancies available.

What is Three Year Old Kinder all about?

Children learn best by being active and involved through their play. The program encourages your child to:

• Play freely
• Develop ideas and stimulate curiosity, as a good basis for future learning at all levels
• Gain confidence and independence
• Recognise and resolve their own conflicts
• Develop concentration through a variety of kindergarten experiences and activities. i.e stories, discussions, puzzles, playdough, pasting, block building activities, etc
• Excercise creative abilities
• Express thoughts, feelings and ideas
• Develop physically by using large muscles: climbing, swinging, running, etc, and small fine muscles for co-ordination through the use of manipulative equipment
