Bimbadeen Pre-School - a Sessional Kindergarten in Mooroolbark

Welcome to Bimbadeen Preschool. We are a community-based preschool located in Mooroolbark. We offer sessional programs for children 3 to 5 years. We pride ourselves on our play-based program that offers open-ended learning opportunities.

All our programs are developed by qualified staff using the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework. We have high expectations for all of our children and value their contributions to the program. We strive to build solid relationships with our children and families.

We would love to show you around our beautiful centre, starting with the indoor space. This is our wet area. In this area the children will have the opportunity to explore creative arts and use a diverse range of mediums such as paints, pastels, dyes, pasting and open-ended construction.

On the carpeted area we have numerous spaces for children to explore, developing concepts such as problem solving, collaborative learning and mathematical concepts, like quantity, the relationship between sizes, dimensions and a love of literacy through stories, role playing and small world opportunities.

Throughout the year we have many special visitors to our centre to extend on children’s learning. We get to do lots of fun things. We now move on to our decking area. This is a very versatile space for all year-round play. The area can be enclosed by the cafe blinds in the cooler months or the area can be opened up in the warmer months. We use this as an extension to our other learning areas.

Our reading nook, home corner and creative arts table are always accessible for the children to develop and extend on their interests. We are very proud of our outdoor play space, which has been landscaped to cater for all abilities through an Education Department grant. The project reflects our preschool’s philosophy of utilising the natural environment in our teaching.

We believe in the importance of sustainability education and the children are encouraged to be active participants in sustainable routines.

Please take the time to look us up on our social media platforms, Instagram, Facebook and our website. We have enjoyed the opportunity to show you through our kinder and look forward to seeing you in the future.
