About Our Kindergarten

Davis Street Kindergarten is a community of learners where children are encouraged to develop a strong self-image and a love of learning. Established in 1959, Davis Street Kindergarten offers sessional three and four year old kindergarten programs, and a Pre-Prep kindergarten program all of which are influenced by the educational projects of Reggio Emilia.

I once heard Davis St Kindergarten being described by a parent as a magical place. That's a pretty accurate description. My son attended the 5-day Pre-prep program, and now my daughter is doing the same. Every day, I would hear of their adventures, their friendships, who their "siesta" buddy was for the day ... and they love Music with Von (my daughter wakes up excited about that). The teachers are all amazing and nurturing. We will miss these days.

My daughter was student at this Kindergarten in 1973-4, a very smaller version of today's site, however the time spent there was her first experience in a group environment, which was so positive given her being a single child in a mostly single parent home. The interaction between parents teachers and students was a very positive experience. This lead to a very positive to a College in a large country City, her confidence in a very different setting was so positive and I must thank the Kindergarten staff for their communication skills, as well as their academic and social teachings Thank you.

Davis Street is such great kindergarten. My daughter enjoys going there every day. For this Winter solstice celebration, PrePrep group have taught the kids to make lamps and making bread roll. The bread tolls taste so great. That become one of my most memorable nights. The teaching program brings the kids together, brings parents together.

If you're considering an extra year of kindergarten before school, I highly recommend the pre-prep program! The 5 day a week schedule with school hours truly prepares the kids for their next step. Both of my children have attended Davis Street, and the teaching team is outstanding—they genuinely care about each child. The sense of community and the friendships we've made at Davis Street are something I will always cherish.

I cannot speak highly enough of this incredible place. The teaching staff are wonderful, just absolute pros. The program is engaging and fun. I’ve never seen a better space in a kindergarten, the gardens and classrooms are fantastic. I wish I could give more stars.

A really special place offering that old school kinder experience. Have had 2 kids through Davis St - one in the 4yo program then one in the 3yo and 4yo programs. Kids are really treated like individuals and each program has a genuine community feel; kids feel part of a close group. Perfect mix of freedom to do what interests them as well as incorporating learning themes as a group. We have loved this beautiful and nurturing kinder, can't recommend enough.

Davis Street is a wonderful place. The staff and management have been excellent over our journey with both our children. They have been kind and responsive to our children, and to us as parents. Most pleasing, has been after hours suggestions, whenever our little ones have encountered a crisis. A tremendous place to send our children. We will miss this place....a lot.
