About Us

At Sherwood Community Kindergarten we are passionate about educating and caring for our pre-prep aged children through play that encourages, supports and challenges children with fun, friendship and learning. All within an environment where each child feels valued, safe and supported.

Located next to Hives Park, Sherwood, our kindergarten has been designed to provide generous spaces for children to play, inside and outside, in our large natural play area.

Sherwood Kindergarten is a not-for-profit community kindergarten and is guided by a management committee made up of parent volunteers. Families make our kindergarten special and we always encourage families to be involved in our Kindy program on a daily basis.

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy reflects our commitment to providing a safe, inclusive and nurturing environment where children learn through play, connect with nature, develop meaningful relationships and build a strong sense of belonging.

We value our connection to Country, respect for children’s rights, sustainability and the importance of working together with families and our wider community. 

Our philosophy is a living document that continues to grow and evolve alongside our kindergarten community
