Working Together With Merewether Families
At Go Kindy Merewether, we believe that a strong partnership between educators and families is essential for a child's development. We encourage parents to actively participate in their child's learning journey, whether by attending information sessions, participating in special events, or simply sharing insights about their child's interests and needs.
We value your input and welcome your ideas and suggestions. Our open-door policy means you can always connect with our educators to discuss your child's progress and well-being. Together, we can create a nurturing and supportive environment where your child can thrive.
We're also committed to building strong ties within our Merewether community. We partner with local businesses and schools to create opportunities for our children. And we love celebrating together with events like BBQs, morning teas, and charity fundraisers!

Our Approach
At Go Kindy Merewether, we provide a nurturing and inspiring environment where children are encouraged to learn and grow through exploration and play. Located right in the hub of Newcastle, our centre offers spacious, thoughtfully designed rooms and stimulating outdoor play areas that encourage a love of learning.
At our Merewether daycare, preschool will become a breeze. We believe in the power of play-based learning and provide a wide range of activities and experiences that support children's social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth in time for their schooling years. With a dedicated team of educators and a focus on play-based learning, we provide a unique childcare experience where your child will thrive.
Cooking
Cooking is a beneficial activity for children, allowing them to develop social and life skills as they work together to create. Our cooking classes aim to develop the following:
- Language: Using communication skills to ask questions and read recipes.
- Fine Motor: Cracking eggs and whisking batter.
- Sensory: Developing taste, smells and touch.
- Math: Using measurement, time and calculation to create a dish.
- Focus: Concentrate on the recipe and instructions to ensure the dish is correct.
- Science: Filling measuring cups and exploring how different foods react when mixed.
Dance
Children are given the opportunity to dance to age-appropriate music and learn songs and traditional orchestral scores. This promotes a strong sense of imagination while the children learn to work as a team, take turns, and follow directions. They use hand-held props and materials to help learn spatial awareness and increase gross motor skills. Connection with dance encourages your child to build confidence in expressing emotion in front of others through movement.
