Welcome to Ness Reserve Pre-School.
We are a community run kindergarten which is ideally located close to the Diamond Creek shops, local primary school and parklands. We offer a supportive, positive and stimulating educational kindergarten program for 3-5 year old children which is run by experienced and dedicated teachers and educators.
At Ness we see children as capable, knowledgeable and naturally inspired learners. We offer a play-based kindergarten program which is based on children’s knowledge, interests and development. We recognise that starting kinder is an important milestone in your child’s life and we work closely with families to ensure the transition from home to kinder is as smooth as possible.
Within the kinder programs we strive to create ties within the local community as we encourage and build on children’s sense of belonging. We have longstanding and positive relationships with the local schools as well as ties with local businesses and services. Our Bush Kinder and Nature Play programs encourage children to further explore the local environment and build strong connections with Country.
We are delighted to have been rated as EXCEEDING in all 7 areas of the National Quality Standards during our most recent Assessment and Rating visit and invite families to come and visit our beautiful centre and to contact staff on 9438 4800 with any questions you may have.
Enrolments for our 2025 and 2026 programs open 1st March
Ness Reserve Pre-School is committed to child safety. Our children are made to feel safe, happy and empowered, and we have zero tolerance of child abuse. We understand our legal and moral obligations to treat all concerns seriously and to report allegations and concerns about a child/ren’s safety and wellbeing to authorities. We are committed to the cultural safety of all children including Aboriginal children, children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, and to providing a safe environment for children with a disability.
We are proud to acknowledge the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, as the traditional owners and custodians of the land that we meet, work and play on at Ness Reserve Pre School. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and future and commit to working in partnership together as we strive to embed Indigenous perspectives within our curriculum.
