A gentle beginning to your child’s learning journey
Our Wombat Room is a vibrant, engaging and supportive environment where children are encouraged to become confident,independent and capable learners as they prepare for their transition to school.
We believe children learn best when they are actively involved, curious, challenged and supported. Our Kindergarten program combines child-led learning with intentional teaching, meaningful experiences and opportunities for children to follow their interests and extend their thinking.
Learning Through Play & Inquiry
Play continues to be an important part of our Kindergarten program. Children are encouraged to investigate, experiment, question, create and solve problems through hands-on experiences.
Our educators thoughtfully extend children's learning by asking open-ended questions, introducing new ideas and encouraging children to think deeply about the world around them.

Early Literacy & Communication
We create rich opportunities for children to develop their confidence as communicators and early readers and writers.
Through storytelling, books, conversations, rhymes, songs, name writing, mark-making, dramatic play and group discussions, children develop vocabulary, listening skills, comprehension and an understanding of how language works.
Early Mathematics & STEM
Children explore mathematical and STEM concepts through meaningful, hands-on experiences. They investigate:
- Numbers and counting
- Patterns and sequences
- Shapes and measurement
- Sorting and classification
- Building and construction
- Science and experimentation
- Technology and problem-solving
We encourage children to wonder, predict, test, discover and explain their thinking.
Creativity & Imagination
Our Kindergarten environment provides opportunities for children to express themselves through art, music, movement, drama, storytelling, construction and imaginative play.
Children are encouraged to develop their own ideas, take creative risks and appreciate different ways of thinking and creating.
Social & Emotional Learning
We support children to develop the confidence and emotional skills they need to navigate relationships and new experiences.
Children learn about friendship, empathy, respect, cooperation, resilience, problem-solving and emotional regulation. Educators encourage children to use their voices, make choices and participate in decision-making.
Identity, Culture & Belonging
Every child brings their own unique family, culture, experiences and perspective. We create opportunities for children to share their stories and learn about the diverse communities around them.
We encourage respect, inclusion and a strong sense of belonging while supporting children's developing understanding of identity and community.
Nature & Sustainability
Children are encouraged to connect with and care for the natural environment. Through gardening, outdoor investigations, caring for living things and sustainability experiences, children develop curiosity and respect for our world.
Active Bodies & Healthy Minds
Our program provides plenty of opportunities for physical activity and wellbeing. Children can run, climb, jump, balance, dance, participate in movement experiences and develop coordination and physical confidence.
We also support children to understand healthy choices, self-care, rest, mindfulness and wellbeing.

Our daughter attended RainTrees for 2.5 years, the hardest thing was leaving when it was time to move on to 'Big School'!. Kindori has such a lovely 'feel', it's friendly and welcoming.
Julia Angolie
My child loves learning, can think critically, and has an amazing educational base. Both kids are comfortable speaking in public and they have great memories with wonderful role models
