About
Doncaster Kindergarten offers an educational and non-profit community service to families with young children by providing preschool programs for one 3 year old group and two 4 year old groups.
At Doncaster Kindergarten we believe that all children have the right to experience the wonder of childhood, to grow and to investigate through rich quality play in a warm and respectful environment which reflects the diversity of our community. Children are encouraged to become confident and involved learners and effective communicators.
We provide a combination of open ended and educator led experiences that promote creativity, socialisation, problem solving and exploration. Our kindergarten provides an opportunity for pre -school aged children to participate in a program designed to promote their physical, intellectual, social and emotional growth.
Our programs are planned by educators based on areas of interest to the children, educators and families, and the development of concepts and skills. There is emphasis on learning through play and a wide range of “free choice” and educator lead “group activities” are provided.

Elva Liu
My name is Elva, and I am the teacher of the 4-year-old Yellow group. I am originally from China. I speak Mandarin and English. I have been fortunate to have lived in New Zealand for over 10 years and in Australia for almost six years. My life experiences have given me a greater understanding of multicultural Australia through learning in-depth about other cultures and languages, which has provided me with a rich source of inspiration and resources which I use in my teaching. I completed my Graduate Diploma of Teaching in Early Childhood at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand. I have been working in a range of long day care services across New Zealand and Australia over the last 8 years. I love working and playing with children, listening to their laughter and watching them grow. I aim to provide a range of learning experiences with high expectations, in order to achieve the best outcomes for every child.
