Welcome to Cumberland Preschool Kindergarten

We are a standalone Department of Education and Children Development (DECD) kindergarten located approximately 8km south of Adelaide in the Mitcham Council area. The kindergarten is located in a residential area surrounded by houses, with many of our families living within easy walking distance of the kindergarten. The Hope Ward Tennis Club backs onto the Kindergarten.

OUR VISION

is to provide a high quality play based program where educators and families work collaboratively to provide learning opportunities that meet the needs of individual children.

The centre has a maximum capacity of 33 children per session. Currently children attend two full days Monday to Thursday (8:45am – 3:30pm) and a number of additional Friday sessions, for the equivalent of 15 hours per week. Cumberland Kindergarten is a multiculturally diverse community representing a number of different cultures each year in its enrolments, including Indigenous, African, The Americas, Asian, European and Middle Eastern.

Cumberland Kindergarten is part of the Mitcham Plains Partnership group of 8 kindergartens, 5 primary schools and 4 secondary schools. While we are part of the Mitcham Plains Partnership our children transition to a number of other schools within our local area and at times outside of our local area. Children from Cumberland Kindergarten attend a number of public and private schools, with children going to up to 13 different schools each year. Our main feeder schools are Colonel Light Gardens Primary, Edwardstown Primary & Westbourne Park Primary.
