About Us
Glass St Kinder opened in 1956. In 2016 to commemorate the 60th anniversary a Time Capsule was buried in the kinder grounds. Children from both 3 and 4 year old groups drew pictures and a video was made interviewing the kids asking them about what they think the world would be like in 2056, these items were placed in the capsule to be opened in 2056 on the 100th Anniversary of the kinder.
As a community run kinder parents enjoy getting involved with fundraising and social events such as the Welcome BBQ, Bunnings BBQ, Kids Disco, Trivia Night and Christmas BBQ as well as parents dinners, park plays and coffee catch ups. All of these events are run and organised by the parents of the kinder and it’s a great way to get to know the kinder community.
At Glass St Kinder we love to take advantage of our surroundings and have had the opportunity to get involved and explore in the local community. Local excursions are enjoyed by both the 3 year old groups and 4 year old groups.
Last year the Gumnut Children went on a walking excursion to Hays Paddock, the children got to experience leaving the kinder as a group and they all had a ball whilst walking and exploring the local surroundings. They then enjoyed a picnic and a play at the park.
The 4 year old groups also went on a walking excursion last year, they walked to a local café and were able to enjoy a drink. All the kids thoroughly enjoyed this excursion. Another activity the 4 year old children are able to take part in is visiting The Eva Tilley Memorial Home, this is a residential Care facility located close to the kinder. The kids get to sing some songs to the residents and have a chat with them as well. The residents at the facility always enjoy seeing the children from Glass St Kinder and often ask them to return.
