Welcome to St. Peter's Kindergarten

At St Peter’s Kindergarten we aim to make kindergarten special. We warmly welcome both child and parent and hope time spent with us will be happy and rewarding for everyone. Kindergarten is a vital step in a child’s life and we value the important role parents play in their education. We believe that if children are well loved, happy and supported by caring and sensitive teaching professionals they will learn and flourish no end. We feel honoured to spend this very special time with families.

Jacinta Walker

Hi, I’m Jacinta Walker. I have been teaching for 6 years in both 3 and 4 year old sessional kindergarten.  The majority of my time teaching was at Albert Park Preschool. I am a mother to Hudson who is turned one in November. I have always been surrounded by children. My Mum is one of seven and my Dad one of six and they all have kids. My fondest childhood memories were spent outside with my cousins running around and spending time with Grandparents and family. I think children are incredible and can teach us so much as adults too. Every day is different, exciting and inspiring. I have a strong passion for well being in the program. I believe that well being is a crucial lifelong skill that helps shape us as individuals. I look forward to meeting you all and your family later this month. Jacinta Walker

Testimonials

R.M.

"My heart was in my mouth as I walked through the doors of St Peters with my little girl.  Her preparation for school was to begin and for the first time I was taking a step back as a parent.  St Peters ‘Open Door Policy’ helped put both of us at ease immediately.  Day after day we were met with big smiles and the teachers always seemed to find the time to answer questions and provide feedback which was invaluable for both of us during the settling in process."

A.M.

"St Peters has proven to be a blessing for myself and my children over the past four years. I have always believed that the teachers are the heart and soul of any kindergarten and from day one their welcoming warmth has not faltered. Through the staff’s guidance, care and dedication I have watched my children all grow in confidence and fine tune their social skills in this crucial lead up to their schooling life."

L.B.

"There is absolutely no way Oliver will take an opportunity to miss his beloved. St Peter's sessions. We even have tears most Saturday and Sundays when he asks at 7 am "Is it a kinder day today?". The most wonderful team of teachers whose commitment and dedication to each and every child's individual learning, social and emotional needs is simply unparalleled. Every single session that your child arrives at St. Peter's , he/she is personally greeted and made to feel special."
