Why choose Sherwood Community Kindergarten?

hen your child attends Sherwood Community Kindergarten, you'll experience what a unique and special environment it really is. There are many reasons to choose Sherwood Kindy:

Continuity of groups – your child is with the same children and same staff every time. You will meet the same parents every day.
Continuity of staff – staff turnover is extremely low. Some staff members have attended the centre as parents. We are teaching children of past pupils regularly.
We are a not-for-profit, community kindergarten – all money is reinvested in the centre.
Community involvement – families are always welcome and are involved in their child’s education on a daily basis.
Large, natural outdoor classroom (the leafy playground).
Quality, educationally-based equipment, incorporating the natural world wherever possible.
Highly qualified staff – all teachers are university qualified in Early Childhood Education and are registered with the Queensland College of Teachers. All assistants have Cert III. All staff have Senior First Aid/ CPR, Anaphylaxis & Asthma Management training and are holders of Blue Cards/Exemption cards.
Community connections – we are affiliated with the Creche and Kindergarten Association of Qld (C&K) and have been operating for over 60 years.
Best practice educational curriculum – the Early Years Learning Framework (national curriculum), Building Waterfalls II and the QLD Kindergarten Curriculum Guidelines.

In keeping with the Sherwood Community Kindergarten’s commitment to reconciliation and respect, we acknowledge the Turrbal and Jagera (alternatively known as Yagara, Yuggeraor Jagara) Peoples as the Traditional Owners of the land where our kindergarten stands today. We would also like to pay respect to the Elders both past, present and emerging, acknowledging them as the traditional custodians of knowledge for this land. May we pay respect to the deep knowledge embedded within the Aboriginal community and their ownership of Country.
