Philosophy
Konomi Kindergarten is a unique, high quality Japanese and Australian early childhood service. We acknowledge that much of the Konomi Kindergarten community is from a Japanese cultural background and choose Konomi for the Japanese education and cultural practices that we provide. We acknowledge that the Konomi community represents many different cultures, with families choosing Konomi for the unique cultural experience and the provision of high-quality education and care. All children, families, educators, staff, and community members are welcome and encouraged to engage in our unique setting.
Konomi Kindergarten is passionate about inclusive practice and views everyone as a valued contributor to our community. We welcome children and families from all language, community, and cultural backgrounds to belong to our unique environment as well as children of all physical, emotional, and academic abilities. Konomi Kindergarten embraces inclusivity and diversity as a resource that informs policy and practice.
