Wombat 4-Year-Old Kinder
Welcome to Wombat’s Room
At Berwick Twinkle Star Early Learning Centre! Our Funded 4 years old program is led by experienced Kindergarten Teachers who deliver a high-quality, government-funded curriculum.
Our approach is rooted in play-based learning, emphasizing discovery and investigation across numeracy, literacy, and science. Through engaging activities and exploration, children develop essential skills and a love for learning.
In addition to our core curriculum, we offer a range of extracurricular activities designed to enrich and support each child's learning journey. Our comprehensive school readiness program ensures that children are fully prepared for their transition to primary school, building confidence and skills for a successful start.
We look forward to partnering with you in this exciting stage of your child’s development and supporting their growth every step of the way.
