About Us
 Pinegrove is a modern purpose built rural kindergarten with a spacious sunny outdoor environment situated adjacent to Brightwater Domain in the heart of the village.
Our philosophy encompasses a child initiated programme, with enough structure to enable children to make choices, extend themselves, be creative, problem solve, develop socially and make discoveries for themselves. We aim for children to develop a positive attitude towards learning, becoming independent, capable, competent, life long learners and communicators.
We have strong links with the local schools which fosters a positive transition for the children and their families.
We welcome families to our kindergarten to be part of our fun and active learning environment.
