OPENING IN JANUARY 2026
KU Biyala Community Kindergarten is a purpose-built sessional kindergarten in Armstrong Creek providing a high-quality government-funded kindergarten program.
Our highly experienced and dedicated teachers and educators create a safe, nurturing environment where childhood is celebrated. We build strong relationships with each child, fostering a sense of belonging and confidence.
With spacious learning areas and convenient on-site parking, our location within the Biyala Community Hub provides families an integrated and connected experience. Being situated in the hub ensures easy access to allied health professionals and community services, supporting holistic development and timely support. This collaborative environment strengthens our programs and outcomes, while our proximity to Biyala Primary School enhances partnerships and supports a smooth transition to school.
When children play and explore, their imagination and curiosity are sparked – they enjoy learning and are inspired to continue learning more.
Our play-based program intentionally provides a wide range of engaging opportunities and activities based on the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework.
Our teachers treat the natural environment as an active learning partner, shaping experiences that invite inquiry. By involving children in decisions about their learning spaces, we empower them to engage meaningfully, taking ownership of their ideas and actions as they explore, collaborate and create.
KU Biyala Community Kindergarten will open in January 2026 and will be independently assessed by the Victorian Department of Education under the National Quality Standards.
We believe that the positive interactions children have with our staff are the most important component of our high-quality program. Our team of educators are qualified, experienced, caring and motivated.
Our staff undergo continuous professional development, staying at the forefront of early childhood education.
