Community Kinder 

Finding Inspiration in Every Turn

Let's set free the children into the great outdoors! Exploring outside isn't just enjoyable; it's a small-scale escapade for our students It's all about immersing in nature, fostering resilience, and igniting creativity. While getting out to meet our community.

 

Our Kinder group thrives on nature strolls, enhancing every aspect of our children's development - from physical well-being to social abilities. Moreover, it acts as a symbolic bond connecting our kids closer to Mother Nature, like a friendship bracelet.

 

Community Kinder focuses on integrating our little ones into the local environment. Whether it's visits to the library or days at the beach, we're shaping self-assured young adventurers who can navigate the neighborhood confidently. Interacting with local professionals such as the police and fire fighters, to our amazing local family business owners for little meet and greet! We love to visit everywhere! Unplanned trips to Playschool concerts have been a known adventure over the years!

 

By collaborating with our community companions, our children evolve into miniature authorities on all things local. Absorbing knowledge from their surroundings, they are like sponges soaking in the affection and wisdom of the community. Padua started with passion and determination, as our founder embarked on a journey, strolling down Main Street Mornington 17 years ago, to share her new business idea and gather a community of like-minded individuals. Our community is cherished deeply, filled with personal connections, stories, and generations of families who have been part of our journey. Witnessing its growth, evolution, and passing on this love to the younger generation warms our hearts.

Padua's unwavering community love...... 

The concept of community is often mentioned these days, sometimes with depth and at times as a marketing tactic. However, what does community truly mean? To us, it embodies years of commitment, individuals uniting for common objectives, and a steadfast dedication to supporting one another even during challenging times. This essence of community is a unique and cherished place we call home. True community isn't just about using the word to create a sense of belonging; it's about continuous actions and enduring unity over time. At Padua, actions always speak louder than words, which is why our new website took five years to develop – because we prioritise taking meaningful action first and foremost. We are all about the ‘unity’ in community.

We possess a collection of student photos from the community spanning 17 years, predating the popular term. Our commitment and dedication to our community have been unwavering since 2008. We impart this ethos to the children daily throughout their kindergarten experience.

Enabling children to engage with the community authentically.
