ABOUT OUR CENTRE
Welcome to Ganbu Gulinj Kindergarten
At Kids First, the early years are about building confidence, curiosity and important social skills that help children thrive.
Our kindergarten is a warm and welcoming place where children feel safe, supported and ready to explore. Through play-based learning, they build confidence, develop social skills, make friends and discover new interests — all while laying the foundations they need for a positive start to school.
Children are eligible to start kindergarten if they turn 3 or 4 by 30 April in the year they begin.
Use the virtual tours above to explore our learning spaces, or complete our enquiry form to request an in-person tour. We’ll be in touch to confirm a time that works for your family.

We found that our child needed lots of encouragement to to participate in anything before she started attending Ganbu Gulinj. Now she has found so much trust in the educators she doesn't need as much encouragement. Thank you so much!! It is really an exciting start for our little girl!
