Who we are
About
At Kindulili Early Learning, we believe childhood should never be rushed.
Our approach
We understand that children learn best through meaningful, natural, play-based experiences that honour their curiosity, capabilities and individuality. Rather than following a hurried schedule or focusing solely on preparing children for formal schooling, we embrace a slow pedagogy approach, creating time and space for children to wonder, investigate, revisit ideas and develop deep, lasting understandings.
Our days are not driven by the clock, but by the children. Their interests become the tidal flow of our curriculum, guiding authentic learning experiences that evolve naturally through exploration, conversation and discovery. We value the process of learning just as much as the outcome, knowing that children thrive when they feel seen, heard and empowered to follow their own thinking.
More than school readiness
Kindergarten is about so much more than preparing for formal schooling. It is about nurturing confident, capable and compassionate learners who develop a lifelong love of learning. Through play, meaningful relationships and rich experiences in nature, children build resilience, creativity, critical thinking and a strong sense of belonging.
Our mixed-age community, welcoming children from 18 months to school age, provides unique opportunities for children to learn from one another. Younger children are inspired by older peers, while older children naturally step into roles of leadership, mentoring and nurturing. These authentic relationships foster empathy, confidence and a genuine sense of community.
Where we are now
Today, our experienced team works collaboratively to provide a flexible, research-informed kindergarten program that reflects contemporary early childhood practice while remaining deeply connected to the rhythms of childhood. Our Bachelor-qualified Early Years Teachers partner with our educators to create environments where children can flourish academically, socially and emotionally.
Kindulili is proudly led by Approved Providers Kim Ash and Jay Schluter, who have seen Peace of Mind Kindy flourish into Kindulili over the last 10 years. They remain actively involved in the day-to-day life of the service. Together with our passionate team, they are committed to creating a warm, welcoming community where children, families and educators feel connected, valued and inspired.
Our approach is informed by:

Our program
The Kindulili program
At Kindulili we believe in fostering a rich, engaging environment where children are encouraged to explore, create, and develop a lifelong love of learning. Our program provides a balance of structured and child-led experiences across our three groups:
Educators document each child’s learning through Storypark, so you can see it as it happens.
Junior Kindy
Our Junior Kindy room is a calm, nurturing space for children aged 18 months to 3 years, where nature, messy play and open-ended experiences invite children to explore at their own pace. With time and space to follow their curiosity, children build confidence, independence and a deep connection with their environment through hands-on discovery.

Three to school age
Our three to school age room embraces the richness of a multi-age community, where children learn with and from one another through authentic relationships, shared experiences and a strong sense of belonging. Learning unfolds organically through play, interests and exploration, with space for appropriate risk-taking, problem-solving, creativity and children to confidently follow their own ideas.

Bush Kindy
Bush Kindy is our off-site adventure for children aged three to school age — slow, unhurried, hands-on exploration in the natural world. Fire lighting, whittling, cubby building; children building resilience and a deep connection to their environment.
