Marysville & District Kindergarten Association

After the devastating bushfires of 2009, a new community focused Centre was built to host the Marysville Primary School, Marysville Kindergarten and the Maternal & Child Health all under the one roof, providing a ‘hub’ of services for the community. We took advantage of this new beginning and opened our Long Day Care Room adjacent to our Kinder room. We have developed into a fully functional preschool offering many early childhood services to our community, including Long Daycare, and funded 3 & 4 Year Old Kindergarten programs. 

We recognise that quality early childhood education programs improve children’s learning, health and behaviour with positive impacts extending into adult life. We believe in providing a positive educational experience through a play based curriculum, guided by the National Quality Standard and the Early Years Learning Framework. 

All of our staff are trained to a high standard, have a genuine love for children and positive learning outcomes.

 

Committee and Fundraising 

Marysville Preschool is run by a team of volunteers that forms the Preschool Committee. Parents of children attending the centre are welcome (and encouraged to) join the committee, as well as members of the community. Without the role of the committee we could not run such an innovative centre in our small rural community.

Being a not for profit centre, we rely on fundraising to operate. Throughout the year the preschool committee run a range of different fundraisers. As apart of our centre family you may be asked to sell raffle tickets, buy fundraising products or help out at a stall. Your efforts big or small are appreciated and help keep our centre running. If you have any fun ideas for fundraising please let us know. 

  Facebook

We have both a public Facebook page on which we update families and communities about upcoming events, fundraisers, and learning experiences; and private Facebook pages for Long Daycare and Kindergarten programs on which we post daily updates to families only. All members of the private pages are approved by Katie, our director to ensure child safety. If you have a child/family member who attends any of our programs and want to be added to these pages please speak to a member of our staff!
