“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.

Today we discovered a pile of branches that had been trimmed from our hedge and so decided to make a cubby house. The children worked as a team as they built, chatting and making decisions about where to place branches and which knots would work best to hold them in place. Once the building was over, the decorating started using feathers and logs from our garden. After the children moved in, they made a pretend campfire using the knowledge they learnt last week at our real Kindy campfire. The wonder this experience evoked was delightful - all through the use of loose parts, real life learning experiences, some scaffolding and play! ... See MoreSee Less
