“Children need the freedom and time to play. Play is not a luxury. Play is a necessity.”
Kay Redfield Jamison, Professor of Psychiatry.
We know that Kindergarten-aged children learn best and most joyfully through play.
Fostering an early love of learning, through play, is what the amazing educators at our highly regarded Kindy by the Bay do best.
At Wynnum General Gordon Kindy, we believe that partnerships with families in a warm, safe and supportive play-based learning environment, are key in preparing your children for school, in their Pre-Prep year. We believe that connections to our wider community help develop a strong sense of belonging, and we are proud to be the only Kindy in the bayside area to offer unique local area excursions, like Beach Kindy and Wynnum Walkabout, as part of our program.
We are a not-for-profit Community Kindergarten, focussed on delivering the best possible early childhood experience possible. All funds raised are directly reinvested in the centre.
2020 is an extra special year for Wynnum General Gordon, marking our 70th anniversary.
As our last local area excursion for the year, we decided to take a stroll down to Pelican’s Nest for an ice block and then over to the Wynnnum Wading Pool to see if any boats were sailing.
This week, David, Katie, Jonathon & Timothy (Penny’s family) came along for a roster morning.
It was great to see so many of our families join us at the Lighthouse Park on Sunday morning.

This week we celebrated the official Under 8's Week by embracing this year's theme 'Children Celebrating Outdoor Play and Learning' with our first Beach Kindy excursion for the year! Outdoor Play looked like: climbing trees, scaling rock walls, squelching through puddles, rolling down the gentle incline, running through the water, building sandcastles ... Outdoor Learning encouraged endless possibilities: becoming custodians of our local environment, taking risks as children listen to their bodies, discovering sea creatures that call our bay home, respecting Quandamooka culture, learning new vocabulary, strengthening motor skills ... Celebrating outdoor play and learning isn't just celebrated as a one off at WGG, it's embedded into our philosophy as something we do every single day! ... See MoreSee Less
