Setting new standards in early childhood education, Prince Alfred Collge is proud to announce the opening of its kindergarten called Little Princes.
The program is based upon widely held principles of children's learning with a special emphasis upon the prestigious Reggio Emilia approach developed in Northern Italy.
A full day program of kindergarten learning experiences is offered to three and a half and four year old children. Pre-entry half day sessions are also included in the Little Princes program.
If required, an Out of School Hours Care program is available for use from 7:30 am to 8:20 am in the morning and from 3:00 pm to 6:00pm each day of term.
You have one opportunity to give your child the best start.
