Welcome to Ripponlea Kindergarten
We offer 3 to 4-year-old and 4 to 5-year-old play-based programs in a nurturing, dynamic and creative environment, indoors and out. Thank you to our local community for all your support and to Jarrod Theodore for creating us such a wonderful video.
We believe that kinder should be fun, nurturing and inclusive. Find out more about our values and our approach to early learning.
We offer two 3-year-old kinder programs and two 4-year-old kinder programs, including bush kinder.
We accept applications for enrolment using an online form. You can also book a tour or come to one of our open days.
