York Street Kindergarten


York Street Kindergarten is located at Glenroy West Primary School, on Wurundjeri Land, and is managed by the NSEYC. The kindergarten is implementing the International Baccalaureate (IB) / Primary Years Program (PYP) which supports the continuity of learning for the children as they transition between the Kindergarten and the Primary School Setting. 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 York Street Kindergarten are via the Merri-bek 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 within the school grounds at Glenroy West Primary School.

The kindergarten has recently been expanded to add 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 Glenroy and all of the communities we work within. The outdoor play space has also been upgraded.

The kindergarten offers programs for 3-year-old and 4-year-old children. All programs are for 15 hours per week and are FREE (no cost to families).

The timetable for 2023 is as follows:

  • 3/4-year-old program: Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 8.30am to 4pm
  • 3/4-year-old program: Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, 8.30am to 1.30pm (children attend for 3 of these days)
