Extended Hours
We offer 3 and 4yo sessional kindergarten programs with variations of days and times, as well as Livcare, our extended hours program that runs until 5:30pm each day.
We are rated as EXCEEDING the National Quality Standards, and our incredible, inclusive staff nurture each child and his or her interests.
Who we are
Since 2007, we have created an inclusive and stimulating environment where children can learn naturally through play.
We support them to develop new friendships and build their confidence and resilience, giving them the best possible foundation for beginning school and beyond. Your child’s feelings and thoughts are always respected, and their voices are always encouraged and heard.
I love going to Livingston Kinder because there is so much to do, and my teacher is so happy and beautiful. She helps me with painting, drawing, and playing with my friends outside.

We encourage our families to be involved in the kindergarten.
We have an open-door policy for parents with Working with Children Checks, so you are welcome to pop in as your schedule permits. We also coordinate events throughout the year to foster social relationships for our children and their families.
For more information or to enrol your child, please visit Bayside City Council website.
It is a wonderful thing to see a child progress throughout the year, and see our children grow in confidence as they learn new things. At the end of the year we watch the children develop into confident, independent human beings who are ready for their next adventure. Then, we as educators know we have done our job.
