The Yarra CultureYarra promotes a positive, caring, fun and effective learning environment.
|
Safety and careYarra strongly cares about the individual needs, wellbeing and safety of each child.
|
Balanced educationYarra provides a balanced curriculum to help develop children’s multiple intelligences.
|
Fostering good characterYarra’s mission includes an emphasis on promoting good behaviour through empathy, care and respect in these crucial character-formative years. Yarra consults with an Australian psychologist to shape our daily practices to support this vision.
Enthusiasm & playYarra encourages children to be enthusiastic learners through play-based active learning styles, largely inspired by Reggio Emilia, including Montessory and Glenn Doman materials.
|
The Yarra CurriculumYarra uses a customised curriculum extending upon the Australian framework, designed to efficiently develop concepts and knowledge, while maintaining a fun learning environment. We welcome parents to visit Yarra to inspect our comprehensive and structured curriculum.
Native English speakersYarra has permanent native English speakers on staff to allow children to be immersed in English. Additionally, most of our Vietnamese teachers are required to speak English.
|
Small classes, limited capacityWe limit capacity so classes remain small, with student:teacher ratios around 5 or less, so your child has more attention, guidance and care.
The Yarra CommunityYarra is not just a high quality kindergarten; it’s a community.
|
Owner operatorsYarra is owned and managed by the same internationally qualified educators, so we ensure the high Yarra standards of learning and care are always present.
The Yarra kitchenYarra has its own professional standard kitchen to ensure our students receive healthy, hygienically prepared food.
