Highlights of the kindy year

 

Mindfulness

We practice mindfulness each day at Stafford Heights Kindy with a combination of yoga, pilates and meditation. Our Mindfulness program fosters children's well-being by teaching coping strategies for self-awareness, stress management, and overall wellness. Through quiet meditation, yoga, and reflective storytelling, children learn to appreciate and navigate their surroundings.

Art Show

Arts and crafts are a large part of our play-based learning. We hold an art show to display the children’s artwork and to enjoy the friendship and camaraderie that has evolved over the year between the children, families and community. This end of year celebration is a key event in our annual calendar.

Excursions and Shows

We love our varied excursions and incursions throughout the year. Our regular visits to Stafford Heights State School for Storytime, Dancing Delights, Under 8’s day introduce the children to school life. We also have visits from the Toothfairy Show, Henny Penny chicken hatchlings, Recycling Man, and more. We even get to visit other communities, including the Trevena Glen Farm, the museum or park for a special day out.

  • "Our daughter's Kindy journey at SHK has been everything we could have hoped for. She has formed beautiful bonds with her teachers and classmates, and the program supports her interests and creativity while gently guiding her to be more independent and emotionally mature. We love the SHK community vibes, and the daily updates and photos!" Maxine & Todd

  • "We are thrilled with Stafford Heights Kindergarten. Having transitioned our oldest boy across for 2 days a week, he’s loving the environment, challenges and new friends. The teachers and community are fantastic. Highly recommend anyone to consider, we’re a lot more confident now for our little one’s transition into prep next year, having only been in the program for a short time." Viertel Family
