Gowrie Oberon Kindergarten

Experienced local team dedicated to giving every child a confident, connected start to their learning journey.

Gowrie Oberon Kindergarten is a free 3- and 4-year-old sessional kindergarten in the heart of the Belmont community, co-located with Oberon Primary School.

A seamless pathway to school. Children visit classrooms, use the oval, and join in school celebrations, meeting teachers and building real connections before Prep even begins. Our Buddy Program means every child experiences a school setting prior to starting Prep.
Learning through nature and Country. Nature play across the school grounds fosters curiosity, wellbeing, and connection to place, with sustainability and Caring for Country woven into everyday learning through Aboriginal knowledge and practice.
Deeply rooted in the Belmont community. Our experienced educators are local. They know this community, these families, and what it truly means to belong here.

We are proud to offer free kindergarten to every family.
