About Yarraville Community Kindergarten

Welcome to Yarraville Community Kindergarten

Yarraville Community Kindergarten is located in the heart of Yarraville, offering high-quality early childhood education for children aged 3 and 4 years.

From the moment families arrive, we focus on creating a warm, inclusive environment where children feel safe, valued, and ready to learn. We know children learn best when they feel a strong sense of belonging, and we work closely with families to build genuine, trusting relationships.

Our experienced team of educators takes the time to truly know each child. We listen, support, and guide learning through a play-based approach shaped by children’s interests. This helps build curiosity, creativity, independence, and confidence.

At Yarraville, families value:

  • A welcoming and inclusive environment where every child feels they belong
  • Strong partnerships between educators and families
  • A play-based program that supports curiosity and creativity
  • A focus on social and emotional development
  • Respect for diversity, inclusion, and each child’s unique identity

We are proud of our strong connections within the local community and the active involvement of our parent committee. These partnerships help create a rich and supportive learning environment where children feel connected and confident.

Together, our shared values, dedicated educators, and community connections create a place where children can grow, explore, and thrive.

Our Leadership Team

Jiemin Xu, Nominated Supervisor

My name is Jiemin, and I am part of the team at Yarraville Community Kindergarten. I have been with BPA for four years and bring over ten years of experience working in long day care. What I value most about our service is the strong sense of community. Our educators work closely together, supporting one another with care and respect. This creates a positive and collaborative environment where meaningful learning experiences can grow. We also have a strong partnership with our families and parent committee, who play an active role in shaping the kinder experience. This connection helps create a welcoming and inclusive space where everyone feels involved. I am passionate about creating an environment where children feel seen, heard, and valued, and where families feel a genuine sense of belonging within our kinder community.

“The Yarraville Community Kindergarten has been a great place for our son to start his formal education journey.”

“The space is safe and inviting. The different play stations, indoors and outdoors, are carefully designed to allow kids to explore different interests.

All the educators we have met have been caring and knowledgeable. They actively try to build meaningful connections with the kids by paying attention to their particular interests.

The staff members use a platform to communicate with us and frequently share stories and photos… Communication with the staff is very good. They are always available to have a chat and take action if something needs to be done.

Overall, I’m very happy my son gets to experience his kindy years at this centre and I highly recommend it.”
