Why Go Kindy Thornton
Go Kindy Thornton located just off one of Thorntons busiest road, providing the local community and commuting families access to quality care and education. The centre itself features 7 spacious rooms and customised outdoor play areas, suitable for all ages.
Go Kindy Thornton aims to provide its families with a unique childcare experience. Features such as 2 dining rooms and custom build outdoor playgrounds have been incorporated into the centre’s design to achieve this goal.
Each room has been carefully created to allow passionate educators to create inspiring environments that offer a unique and authentic experience for every child. This can be accomplished as we hope to provide a warmth and homelike feel. We are also aspiring to become a sustainable centre and encourage the children to look after their environment.
As we open our new facility our management team alongside our educators look forward to working closely with local community businesses and schools. We look forward to celebrating many calendar events together with BBQ's, Morning tea's and Charity events.
Go Kindy have a dedicated professional team that realise the importance of their role. Your child has only one childhood and they are committed to providing the best possible start.
Our Go Kindy Team takes great pride in the care we offer. We look forward to welcoming your family in the near future.

Our Approach
Cooking
Cooking is a beneficial activity for children allowing to develop social and life skills as they work together to create. Our cooking classes aim to develop:
- 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: Concentration on recipe and instructions to ensure the dish is correct.
- Science: Filling measuring cups and exploring how different foods react when mixed together.
Dance
Children are given the opportunity to dance to age appropriate music, 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 to express emotion in front of others through movement.

This lays the foundations for an environmentally responsible adulthood.
