It is an opportunity for each child to begin their transition into the learning environment and have a positive connection to kindergarten and school.\u00a0 Our kindergarten creates a strong connection with each of our children, ensuring they feel valued, respected and supported.<\/p>\n<p>I believe that we learn when we are having fun.\u00a0 When a child is engaged, they will become more active, curious and enthusiastic about their learning, which they can then take with them into school and beyond. My aim is for all our kindergarten children to wake up each day, excited to come to Box Hill North Primary Kindergarten.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p>I am incredibly proud of our team at Box Hill North. Each one of them brings kindness, passion and positivity to our classrooms every day. We work together as a team to ensure we are the best we can be and demonstrate an ongoing commitment to deliver an outstanding kindergarten program for our learners.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p>Being a part of this community brings me much joy and I cannot wait to welcome you into our kindergarten family, and share more about what Box Hill North Primary Kindergarten is all about.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;\">&#8216;Inspiring Curious Minds &#8211; Every Child, Every Opportunity&#8217;<\/span><\/em><\/span><b><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Charlotte Tay<b><i><br \/> <\/i><strong>Kindergarten Director<\/strong><\/b><o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;off|tablet&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Footer&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.18.4&#8243; background_size=&#8221;contain&#8221; background_position=&#8221;bottom_center&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||38px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; global_module=&#8221;3461&#8243;][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.2&#8243; background_image=&#8221;http:\/\/zaib.sandbox.etdevs.com\/divi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/bac-01.png&#8221; background_size=&#8221;contain&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;160px|100px|100px|100px|false|true&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;10px|40px|10px|40px|true|true&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.27.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;PT Sans||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#62748a&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Playfair Display|700|||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;54px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.3em&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; max_width=&#8221;600px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Become a Part of Our Community!<\/h2>\n<p>We are a tight-knit learning community with a dedicated team of teachers, wonderful parents and beautiful children.
