Welcome to Pioneer Community Kindergarten

As a Lady Gowrie affiliated centre, we pride ourselves on our nuturing environment where your child will feel happy and secure. We provide a warm, friendly atmosphere which has been enjoyed by Mackay families for over 50 years.

Pioneer Community Kindergarten offers:

  • a pre-Prep program
  • play-based curriculum
  • child-lead learning journey
  • development at your child’s own pace and through their own specific interests, and
  • some structured programs to help your child reach milestones specific for their Prep year.

We are a community-run, not-for-profit association which follows the philosophy and teachings of Lady Gowrie. Lady Gowrie is a well regarded early childhood body which is particularly known for its “innovative and flexible practice, integrated service provision, meaningful partnerships with parents and evidence based practice”.

Take a moment to browse and see for yourself the uniqueness of our facilities and the wonderful team of carers who will provide your child with the best opportunity for their pre-Prep development.

We look forward to welcoming you and your child to our wonderful kindergarten soon!

As the director (and teacher) of Pioneer Community Kindergarten, I understand what a huge privilege it is to guide your child through their kindergarten journey.

The staff at the Pioneer Community Kindergarten has a combined teaching experience of over 50 years and we strongly believe in the program we have developed for the Kindergarten. We have witnessed first hand the wonderful results that can be achieved by your child.

We are passionate about early childhood education and you can be assured of our commitment to work closely with you to ensure your child has a positive kindergarten experience.
