Flinders preschool will continue offering fully funded kinder programs in 2025 for our 3yo & 4yo program. Join our play based community where children build skills for life.
At Flinders pre-school, our philosophy is centred around play being the means by which young children learn. Active, exploring children learn about their environment while developing literacy foundations, social skills, confidence, independence and creativity.
Children learn best by doing. Our programs have an emphasis on self-involvement and self-direction. Some learning at Flinders preschool is initiated by an adult and some the children create themselves. All learning is active learning, which involves thinking and experimentation to learn first-hand about the world in which we live.

Play-based Learning
We are a play-based learning environment. Play is an open-ended, enjoyable activity that lays the foundations for a child to become a curious learner later in life. Play-based learning is proven to help children develop social skills and creativity as well as early literacy and numeracy. Everything the children do at our kinder is a precursor to school learning.
Resilience
Building resilience can help children develop life long skills to deal with everyday emotional and physical challenges. Resilience is fostered through our beach kinder program and a range of play based activities.
Community
We aim for all children to feel comfortable and confident within the group and our kinder’s community; to feel that they belong. Our pre-school is an active part of the Flinders township’s community. Families are regularly involved in local events such as the Anzac March, the Easter Bake Sale, Flinders Fringe Festival and Flinders Art Show. Please visit our Facebook page for further information.
Beach Kinder
A highlight of our kindergarten’s program is our weekly sessions at the Beach. Through child lead play in a beach environment, children experience challenges, developing self-awareness and, most importantly, resilience.
