At Perry Street, we deliver a 3 and 4-year-old integrated funded kindergarten program across 2-3 years within the context of long day-care.
Our Kindergarten program is available in the Banksia Room and beginning in 2025, as a trial, is also offered in the Acacia Room.
Our Philosophy
Stories, friendships and memories are held dearly by all in the Perry Street community; children, educators, and families value connections as an integral part of human development and well-being. “I feel happy with my friends.” Our place on Wurundjeri land, Fairfield, is a green haven where early childhood education is honoured and nurtured by a not-for-profit community-based model of care.

Kindergarten Bees - Three year old program
Our 3-year-old Kindergarten program is integrated within long daycare hours and is offered every weekday between 9.00am-4.30pm.
The 3-year-old program is planned for and delivered by a degree qualified teacher and a diploma qualified educator.
Our funded 3-year-old Kindergarten children have face-to-face access to the teacher for 7.5 hours each day.
Kindergarten Owls - Four year old program
Our 4-year-old Kindergarten program is offered daily from 9.00am – 4.30pm, within the long daycare model. By delivering our Kindergarten program over these days, we offer flexibility for families to meet their work, study and other commitments.
Younger siblings are also educated and cared for in the same setting and on the same days. We provide education and care for all children during the school holiday periods allowing parents to have the benefit of having childcare throughout the year.
