Welcome to the new Campus Kindy website that has undergone some changes in recent times.

Campus Kindy is a rich community of families, staff and the University of Queensland. All parents are encouraged to take an active part in the centre, making their association with Campus Kindergarten enjoyable and enriching.

Campus Kindy by Alexander

The strong community culture fostered at Campus Kindergarten is built upon the following values:
 

• Rights
• Respect
• Trust
• Responsibility
• Compassion

At Campus Kindy we acknowledge that all members of our community - including children, families and teachers have rights and all interactions should include respect.

This provides a rich environment for nurturing strong relationships and friendships, which are the cornerstone of quality early childhood education.

Compassion is an enabling value as it moves us forward into being proactive and seeking solutions.  Trust builds acceptance and enables all to have a voice, to take risks and to build community.

Campus Kindy's pedagogy or teaching style is based on the internationally recognised approach developed in Reggio Emilia a city in Italy.  The staff have taken the principles of Reggio Emilia and integrated them with the five values above.

In practice Campus Kindy's learning community is one that closely reflects the Reggio approach which sees itself as

A community of learners with a theory of learning based on social constructivism within a pedagogy of relationships.

To learn more about Campus Kindy's teaching approach please go to the Philosophy tab.

Campus Kindy is a remarkable place - a place where children are encouraged to find their voice in a  safe and caring community.  The core values of Rights, Trust, Respect, responsibility and Compassion permeate the centre.  Hundreds of visitors and families consistently comment on the welcoming, warm atmosphere, the dedicated caring professional staff and the strength of the parent community.

Please look over our website and if you would like more information about the centre or if you would like to enquire about a place for your child please use the links provided or give us a call.
