At Greenvue Kindergarten, our Philosophy is our guide and our Policy Manual outlines what families can expect from us. Our Policies are regularly reviewed and updated in consultation with families and we provide them here below for easy reference.
Our Mission Statement
The Greenvue Kindergarten is committed to providing a quality Kindergarten program which meets the needs of our children and their families.
We believe that our Kindergarten is a unique and individual place. We, therefore, deem it important to preserve the individuality of all children both for their own happiness and for what they can contribute to society.
Our Information Handbook and Policy Manual
The Approved Provider and Management of Greenvue Kindergarten adopted the Information Handbook and the Policy Manual in July 2015. Please note that all documents are subject to an ongoing review.
