Our group activities consist of a music program, Alegro Beats, Gross Motor – run by Playball coaches and Heart Matters. These are incorporated into our curriculum on a weekly basis and are included in our school fees.

Weekly visits to our Nature Reserve allow children explore nature, catch tadpoles and crabs, and listen to stories. Baking takes place every second week where the children delight in measuring and stirring to produce “yummy goodies” to eat. 

Our approach at Kildare is to nurture the creativity that is inherent in each child and for the child to work independently. We discourage the use of stencils or models but rather expose the child to a wide variety of art experiences. Children are encouraged to look, feel, experience and create. The process is more important than the end product.

Gross motor ability is a critical life skill. Motor skills are actions that involve the movement of muscles in the body. Kildare’s extensive garden area provides the children to run, play soccer, cricket, enjoy a bike track, as well as developing their balancing and large motor skills on the various exciting jungle gyms. The sandpit area is well designed and allows for outdoor play even on a rainy day. We believe children learn through play.
