Robert Cochrane Kindergarten

Welcome to Robert Cochrane Kindergarten!

Nestled in the heart of Hawthorn, Victoria, Robert Cochrane Kindergarten is a warm and welcoming place for little ones aged 3 to 4 years. As a not-for-profit community-run kindergarten, we take pride in our rich history that dates all the way back to 1911!

Our kindergarten is lovingly managed by a dedicated Committee of Management, made up of wonderful parent volunteers who are passionate about creating a nurturing environment for our children.

Learning Through Play

At Robert Cochrane, we believe that play is the best way to learn! Our experienced educators guide children through a play-based learning approach, ensuring that every day is filled with fun and discovery. Our team is committed to their own growth too, engaging in ongoing professional development to bring the best practices to our little learners.

A Safe and Fun Environment

Our facility boasts recently refurbished playgrounds, providing a safe and exciting space for children to explore and play. We also care deeply about our planet, promoting environmental sustainability through various programs that teach our kids the importance of taking care of the world around them.

Community Connections

We are proud to be a part of several educational associations, which helps us stay connected and informed about the best practices in early childhood education. Additionally, we participate in the Victorian Government's Free Kinder Scheme, making quality education accessible to more families in our community.

Join us at Robert Cochrane Kindergarten, where every child is encouraged to grow, learn, and play in a supportive and engaging environment!
