About Bellevue Kindergarten

Bellevue Kindergarten offers 3-year-old and 4-year-old programs with sessions running simultaneously.

The kindergarten’s philosophy values play-based learning and development through active exploration and participation. Our 3- and 4-year-old educators are educated in Rhythm and Movement for Self-Regulation (RAMSR) and offer this into the program, in addition to a sports specialist for our 4-year-old children. The children engage in many incursions and excursions.

Parents are encouraged to participate in the kindergarten experience and education, as many opportunities are provided throughout the year.
