About Glen Iris Road Uniting Kindergarten
This kindergarten is located in a purpose-built centre attached to Glen Iris Uniting Church and next door to Glen Iris Primary School.
The teachers and educators here take on many roles to play with your child and use a range of integrated teaching and learning strategies to strike the balance between child-led and educator supported learning.
The 4-year-old program runs the ELLA (Early Learning Languages Australia) program, which you can learn more about on the ELLA website. Currently, the children are exploring Chinese Language (Mandarin) through iPad apps and play.
Learn more about the centre's staff, programs, facilities and philosophies on the Uniting website.
