Our Vision
Bethlehem College Kindergarten is a centre which recognizes that Early Childhood Education is a partnership between Kindergarten and families. We believe that children develop best within a cirriculum that recognizes and aims to meet their spiritual, physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs. We aim to work collaboratively with parents and families in meeting these needs and in developing children's individual interests and strengths. We seek to reflect strong Christian values and Christ's love in all we do.

We aspire for our children to:
"Grow up as competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society."
