St Scholastica’s Kindergarten was established in 1964 by the St Scholastica’s Parish, to extend the services provided by the church to the local community, and today, is the only kindergarten offering a Catholic based curriculum in Melbourne.

St Scholastica’s Kindergarten, we value and recognise that parents are children’s first educators and that they play an important element in their life at their kindergarten. We encourage parents and families to become involved in all aspects of the kindergarten, as working in partnership with educators helps to reach a common goal of assisting the children to reach their full potential. Parents have the opportunity to join the Committee and have a voice in the organisation of the Kindergarten.

As part of the St Scholastica’s Parish, the children to participate in regular interaction with the adjacent St Scholastica’s Primary School, where the children are allocated a school buddy, have regular visits to library to borrow books, and are involved in school celebrations, helping with their transition into Primary School. Christian celebrations are discussed with the children as part of our curriculum, and the 4 year old group participate in a Nativity Play as part of their graduation ceremony in December.

St Scholastica’s Kindergarten is a part of the St Scholastica’s Parish, however we welcome families from all denominations and cultural backgrounds to come and enjoy our wonderful teachers and nurturing environment. We also have strong connections with CPEC and have educators available to assist children with special needs.
