Kinma preschool

Play-based curriculum, beautiful child-centred learning environment, parent participation welcome!
Reporting to the School Manager, the Nominated Supervisor works as part of the management team to champion Kinma’s Core and Guiding Principles, which dovetail with the Early Years Learning Framework. You will:
• Co- create quality programs for all children considering the whole group and the individual with intelligence and heart
• develop strong relationship with families and support their understanding of progressive education and the principles of the NQF
Authentic learning describes the active engagement of children in experiences that are relevant and meaningful to them. Motivation is high when children can see how learning relates to their own lives.
Kinma Play Group which usually happens Mondays during term time (9.30-11am) is not on in Term 1 2023 due to building works happening at the school. We'll let everyone know when it's back up and running.
The ability to focus on one activity or experience for a considerable period of time is universally agreed upon as very beneficial in the suite of learning skills. It can also be incredibly enjoyable and according to Csikszentmihalyi, author of Flow, when it is, the learning and outcomes are enormous for the individual and the community of which they are a part.
What does focus look like at Kinma? Where is it found? How do teachers arrange scenarios to encourage it?
Play is predominant in the early years at Kinma. It is seen as a leading factor in the child's development. Central to the success of play is the child's self-control.
From play, children learn how to behave in social situations that are acceptable. Since play is child-centred and directed, the children learn self-discipline and self-motivation.
We believe that people who are friends care for each other so the more friends there are, the more people are cared for and the less people are harmed. As a symbol of children's friendships all over the world, we are creating the world’s longest friendship band and hope you will join us in its creation.
