Our Philosophy

St. Paul’s Anglican Kindergarten is a not for profit organisation nestled in the tree-lined streets of Canterbury. St. Paul’s has been  delivering play-based pre-school programs to local children for nearly 80 years.

The teaching staff are highly qualified Early Childhood Professionals who strive to enrich children’s lives through vibrant and diverse tailored learning programs, which prepare children for life, not just for school.

We are a warm, welcoming and positive environment for your child to learn and grow; a place where learning is fun and enduring friendships are made.

Our Curriculum

Our curriculum is broad, with a distinct focus on creative arts including: yoga, Drama Toolbox, music, Sport4Kids, Bush Kinder and art workshops.

These programs are enjoyed by all of the children. Special visitors and artists-in-residence share their life experiences with the children to enhance their learning. When combined with an exciting schedule of excursions and incursions, the children are given special access to the world around them.

Our indoor and outdoor facilities maximise the use of space to provide a wide variety of age-appropriate experiences that extend and challenge the children.

Our Red group (4-year-old) and Pre-prep group love attending Canterbury Primary School to assist with their transition into school life.

We practice our kinder’s mission, ensuring that all children learn through creative play.

Child Safe Organisation

St Paul’s Anglican kindergarten is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people and has zero tolerance for child abuse.

We are committed to providing an environment where children and young people are safe, and feel safe, and their voices are heard about decisions that affect their lives.
We have updated our systems, practices and policies to comply with the most recent Standards (1 January 2023) and embed the eleven Child Safe Standards throughout all of St Paul’s operations.
