Welcome to Progress Kindergarten!
Progress Kindergarten is a community-managed, not-for-profit kindergarten operating in Ascot Vale for more than 75 years.
We deliver quality, play-based programs for children that support children’s learning, development and wellbeing, and which take into account the individual needs of children and families. Our curriculum is aligned with the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework and is shaped by our professional knowledge of child development as well as our observations of children. We have high expectations for every child and work in partnership with families to ensure our programs and our service are responsive to the interests and needs of our families and our community.
As a community-managed kinder serving families in Ascot Vale and the Moonee Valley City Council area, we rely on the support and generosity of the families in our community to work alongside our staff to ensure the kinder meets all legal obligations, operates efficiently, and offers the best environment for the children. We support and encourage family involvement in all aspects of our service. This can include formal involvement as a volunteer on the parent committee, helping out more informally with tasks such as fundraising and working bees, or spending time helping out in the kinder program with your child.
In 2022 we were assessed by the Department of Education under the National Quality Framework assessment process and are very proud to have achieved a rating of Exceeding the National Quality Standard.
