Where little people do big growing.
A community-owned kindergarten nestled in the heart of Chelmer, helping 3–5 year olds grow confident, curious and kind — through the power of play, friendship and a leafy outdoor classroom.
Three things we do brilliantly.
Everything at Chelmer Station Kindy is built around one belief: children learn best when they feel they belong.
Play-Based Program
