About the Centre/Service Robert Cochrane Kindergarten is a leading early childhood education provider with a proud history. As one of Victoria’s first kindergartens and the only kindergarten in Victoria with Heritage status, we are grounded in the importance of community like the first peoples of our land, the Wurundjeri people.
Like their traditions, our kindergarten creates a community that wraps around a child and their family. We provide a learning environment where are all not only welcome, but an integral part of the educational program we offer. We view children as strong, capable, competent, curious, and active participants in their own learning.
We value the things that make each child a unique individual and celebrate diversity. We believe this is best supported in an environment that promotes equity. We have high expectations for every child.
