Welcome to Nambour Community Kindergarten
We’ve been here more than 65 years and it’s a pleasure to welcome every family to our Kindergarten.
We appreciate every child as an individual, helping them to grow, at their own pace, in readiness for school.
We look forward to meeting you and your child.
Kindergarten days start outdoors in our spacious backyard or low set covered verandah.
Large shady trees invite local birdlife and our tree lined yarning circle, mud patch and sandpit encourage child led creativity to bloom into learning.
Our character filled fort doubles as a site for imaginative play and physical challenge and completes the rich, socially responsive and interactive space your child will enjoy.
Our warm and caring staff are all highly qualified with many years of experience in Kindergarten settings.
From the moment families walk in the door our staff chat and get to know children, and families alike, in order to understand each child’s unique needs, interests and learning styles. This creates a supportive environment where children thrive.
Our staff apply intentional teaching practices which incorporate the children’s spontaneous experiences and varied interests into a flexible curriculum. This promotes learning through everyday experiences and contributes to social and emotional development, as well as problem solving, literacy, numeracy and scientific learning.
“My kids loved to play in nature everyday at Kindy and occasionally eat from the veggie patch…I’m so happy I sent my children to James St, we left with many valuable memories.”
– Sarah

Our Operating Hours
Nambour Community Kindergarten follows State School terms, with the same holiday breaks.
We operate on a five day fortnight model with two groups of 22 children:
- GREEN GROUP | 8.45am – 2.45pm, on a Monday, Tuesday and every second Wednesday or
- YELLOW GROUP | 8.45am -2.45am on a Thursday, Friday and every second Wednesday
Within each group the children build strong connections with both Educators and their peers. A sense of flexible routine develops with consistency amongst Educators and children in each group and belonging emerges within the children.
