Discover, imagine and create.
Kindergarten at Mount Carmel College is built upon the foundation of learning through play. It is designed to provide interesting, diverse and challenging experiences that gives children the opportunity and time to build confidence, social skills and independence in a secure and nurturing environment.
The Early Years Learning Framework: ‘Belonging, Being and Becoming’, aims to stimulate social, emotional, cognitive, linguistic, creative, and physical development.
Our exciting new Kindergarten development is coming this year, designed with our youngest students’ experiences in mind.
