Curriculum

Boondall Kindergarten follows a flexible, child-centred curriculum which follows the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines and the Early Years Learning Framework.

The day consists of free selection of resources and focuses on play in both the indoor and outdoor learning environment.

Group sessions occur at varying intervals during the day, emphasising language development and experience with stories and music and movement.
We recognise that every child is an individual. We aim to enable each child to develop at his/her own pace throughout the year. Your child’s curiosity, enthusiasm and love of learning will continually be encouraged by staff.

As teachers and children engage in inquiry together, children are learning to observe, ask questions, reflect on their actions, and engage in meaningful and self-directed activity. To make sure we nurture and develop our future generations of thinkers, play is an essential component of a quality early childhood educational experience.
