Kindergarten (Junior and Senior)

For Kindergarten, children are spending mornings or afternoons at the kindergarten programs at either Ossington Old Orchard Public School (OOOPS) or Dewson Public School. Our staff perform public school drop off and pickup where the children spend the balance of time at the WEPD Kindergarten program. Everyone has lunch at WEPD.

At this stage, their personalities and individuality are evident and they have more confidence in themselves. They have a better feel for what they can do and realise their ability to try new things. They are gaining knowledge and understanding of the world around them..
