Batman Park Kindergarten is dedicated to providing a quality preschool program that strives to meet the needs of children. We offer funded three and four year old sessions in our two-room kindergarten in the heart of Northcote. Our highly skilled Educators create a nurturing and stimulating environment that provides children and families with a positive first experience of education. Batman Park Kindergarten is fully committed to the safety and wellbeing of all our children.

If you would like to visit us at the kindergarten rooms, you can find us at 79 Elm Street, Northcote. Please call (03) 9481 0237 or email info@bpk.org.au to arrange a suitable time.

Bush kinder takes inspiration from forest schools in Norway, where there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing. Our Educators aim to bring the same philosophy to the banks of the Merri Creek. Our program allows children to learn when immersed in nature. It creates a space where children can investigate, explore, take risks and connect with the natural environment.

We currently offer bush kinder in two of our four-year-old kindergarten groups. Children enrolled in our bush kinder program spend one 3-hour session at our bush kinder location each week and two 6-hour sessions in our kinder rooms.

All applications for Batman Park Kindergarten are managed by Darebin Council’s Centralised Kindergarten and Childcare Registration System. The council operates a centralised waiting list on behalf of all community-managed funded three and four year old kindergarten programs within the municipality.
