Our Kindy

We believe that each child is capable and competent. We strongly believe that children learn best through play and that the development of a child’s social, emotional, intellectual, physical and creativity is best supported through play. We encourage our Kindy kids to actively explore, gain a sense of wonder and investigate their world. Get to know more about Our Kindy.

We offer a beautiful purpose built kindergarten environment. Our beautiful leafy outdoor play space invites your child to wander and discover their natural world. Our newly renovated Kindy provides a wide range of open-ended play experiences and resources.

We are dedicated to reducing our ecological footprint and promoting awareness and action for the protection of our environment.

Testimonials

My second child has just finished his year at Palmwoods Community Kindergarten. He has loved it and has had such a wonderful time. I feel so fortunate that I came across this kindy when we moved to the Sunshine Coast. It is a beautiful place with large and lovely indoor and outdoor play areas that are so wonderfully conducive to children’s play. Both of my boys have loved it so much and I have watched them grow, thrive and explore so many beautiful play opportunities. The teachers are experienced, professional, gentle, funny and loving. My third child is already enrolled and I am looking forward to her experiencing the same wonderful kindy as her brothers. I can’t recommend Palmwoods Community Kindergarten highly enough.

Palmwoods C&K Kindy was a no-brainer for us. Our boy has had two wonderful years there which has really set him up for a great start at school next year. I cant say enough about the educators commitment and holistic values regarding ecology, culture and inclusion. The kindy grounds and facilities are well designed and the community vibe is strong and vibrant. Compared to other early childhood learning centres, the Palmwoods Community Kindy is a fraction of the cost. If you want your child to have a loving and nurturing experience and succeed and enjoy their first years at school, send them to Palmwoods Community Kindy.

Palmwoods Community Kindergarten is absolutely amazing! It embodies all that Kindy should be. All three of my children have completed Kindy here and all have very fond memories of their time spent here. The staff at Palmwoods Kindy took the time to build a relationship with my children enabling them to cater for their varying personalities and interests. Palmwoods Kindergarten is a nurturing, interest based and family oriented Kindergarten which instils a life long love of learning through its connections with the environment and the wider community. It definitely prepared my children for school and encouraged them to be active participants within the community. It is a very special place for children to just be children! I am so glad I discovered Palmwoods Kindy!

If you’re wanting a beautiful, natural, outdoor space and a focus on play and play-based education for your little person, then seriously, look no further. The Kindy space is only enhanced by loving, long-term, dedicated and passionate teachers – it’s almost hard to express the depth of their experience and thoughtfulness in skills building in the activities they provide. I love that Palmwoods Kindy is litter-free and focused on sustainability and the natural world, and community-based, with parents actively included and excellent incursions. My son has flourished in his time there and I am so very grateful.

Palmwoods Kindy has been an amazing, supportive environment for my little fella who’s struggled with anxiety. The teachers have been incredible with him, they picked up very quickly his sensitive personality and have really helped him to grow and become more resilient in time for school. Such a beautiful, warm and nurturing Kindy. I have also really appreciated their focus on the environment and sustainability and helping to instill this care for our planet in our children.
