What families have to say…
“As a parent, I cannot speak more highly of Upper Mount Gravatt Kindergarten. I short, UMGK feels like extended family. Every day as we arrive at kindy, the children are welcomed with big smiles from the teachers or receive reassuring hugs to those children who are sad to see mum or dad leave . The educators have created an environment where children can naturally thrive, grow, and explore. A traditional kindy day is led by the children’s interests and supported by the teachers.
The bush kindy program is fabulous. and is a unique offering from UMGK. The kids are delighted in exploring the safe bushland adjacent to kindy. Whether it be swinging on a bush swing, floating boats made out of leaves down the creek, leaping off logs, or doing a nature scavenger hunt, it is very much a highlight to both children and teachers.
UMGK kids are ready to jump into prep by the end of the kindy year and are set up to thrive in their ongoing education journey.” – Kindy parent
“UMGK is a professionally run kindergarten, where the children and their families’ best interests are at heart. The kindergarten is seeking to build a strong community focus and runs family-lead events throughout the year to build on this. We actively seek out community grants, which are then invested back positively into the kindergarten.
The teaching staff is supported by a very dedicated director, which in turn creates a strong and happy team environment to work in.” – Executive committee
