Upfield Kindergarten is located within Dallas Brooks Community Primary School, on Wurundjeri land, and is managed by the NSEYC. The kindergarten provides a high quality program and was recently assessed as ‘Exceeding‘ the National Quality Standards for Early Childhood Education and Care (in mid 2021).
Our purpose is to Love a Life of Learning and Living. Our values are Trust, Respect, Relationships and Curiosity, and these values inform everything we do. We specialise in delivering high-quality early learning programs in close partnership with families, schools and the broader community, as we know this has enormous benefits for children’s lifelong learning. Our educational philosophy includes a focus on authentic relationships to support individual children’s wellbeing and development, with a strong emphasis on learning through play in nature.
Enrolments for the 3 and 4-year-old programs at Upfield Kindergarten are via the Hume City Council. For assistance with the process, call us on 9306 1662, email office@nseyc.org.au, or for more information about the enrolment process see How to enrol.
Facilities and services
The kindergarten is based on the school grounds of Dallas Brooks Community Primary School.
The kindergarten has recently been upgraded with an additional modular room to support the delivery of 3-year-old programs through the Victorian government’s Building Blocks initiative, as part of our ongoing efforts to provide the very best early learning opportunities for children in Broadmeadows and all of the communities we work within. The outdoor play space has also been upgraded.
