“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.

On both Tuesday and Thursday mornings next week, something extra special is happening at Kindy.
The last Beach Kindy excursion for the year will take place....
AND
...the very first copies of our Beach Kindy book will be available to purchase!
The Author and the Illustrator of our Beach Kindy book will have a book signing table set up out the front of Kindy, under the Poinciana tree, across two mornings next week, just before drop off time. Copies of the book will be available to purchase on these days and you will have the unique opportunity to have books signed and/or personalised for your children by BOTH the author & illustrator. ALL book sale proceeds will be reinvested directly back into our not-for-profit Kindy.
If that's not enough to tempt you to arrive at Kindy a little earlier than usual...the Rumour Mill Espresso coffee van will also be brewing up a storm out the front of Kindy on those days!
Why not plan to start your day with a takeaway book and a takeaway coffee? ... See MoreSee Less
