Your local community Kinder in Ascot Vale

Ascot Kindergarten is a community-managed, not-for-profit kindergarten that was established by local residents in 1946.

Our passionate and dedicated staff offer quality, play-based education in both our three-year-old and four-year-old programs.

We offer a friendly environment that welcomes the involvement of our families and community.

Your local Kindergarten, run by locals

For over 70 years, Ascot Kindergarten has been preparing local Moonee Valley children for school and beyond.

Our kindergarten was established by local parents and is still managed by a volunteer parent committee today.

News & Events

  • Nominations for the 2024 Committee of Management

    Participating as a member of our Committee is an opportunity to develop friendships, enhance your child’s kinder experience and contribute to the kindergarten.

  • Invitation to Ascot Kinder AGM and Family Night

    Join us for our 2023 Annual General Meeting on Friday 24th November, followed by our Family Night for new and current families.

From little things, big things grow

The size of our Kinder means a calmer, more intimate environment where children are encouraged to be curious and creative learners, with a deep connection to their local community.
