About Us

Pope Road Kindergarten is a community based, public kindergarten for 3 and 4 year old groups.  The early childhood program is inspired and provoked by the research and education project in Reggio Emilia, Italy, with a strong and genuine focus on the role and value of learning through relationships.

We believe children are capable, curious and competent, and our work with children supports and encourages children to be active and engaged constructors of knowledge: to have meaningful experiences and to develop a strong and positive sense of place and belonging to this and a wider community.  We have passionate and experienced staff, beautiful surrounds and a long history of excellence.
