About

Hurlingham Preschool is a long-established, community-run and managed kindergarten in Brighton East, Bayside. For more than 50 years, we have been proud to deliver the highest quality, funded 3- and 4-year-old early childhood education programs.

Our strong reputation is built on a philosophy of Community, Collaboration, and Commitment. We work closely with families to provide every child with a confident, resilient, and joyful foundation for lifelong learning.

Our large, natural outdoor playground and purpose-built indoor learning spaces create an inspiring environment for children to play, explore, and grow. Guided by our experienced teachers and educators, children are supported through a rich, play-based curriculum that nurtures their curiosity, creativity, and sense of belonging.

We acknowledge that we play, learn and work on land for which the peoples of the Kulin Nations are the traditional owners and custodians.

Hurlingham Preschool has zero tolerance towards child abuse and is committed to establishing and maintaining child safe and child friendly environments.

We would like to acknowledge the assistance of the Victorian State Government in funding 4year old kindergarten.
