Where Are We?

You can find us at 75 Arundel Avenue Reservoir, close to Keon Park train station and Mahoneys and Cheddar Roads. Originally a Baptist Church, our Arundel Avenue campus has been operating solely as a kindergarten since 1946, when the church generously donated the building to our community. Situated on a double block of land, there is a generous indoor and outdoor play environment with popular spaces including the sandpit, mud kitchen, vegetable garden and bike track.
Between 2004 - 2014, Keon Park Kindergarten operated from two locations - Arundel Avenue and Dole Avenue. Since 2015, our kindergarten has operated solely from Arundel Avenue. Keon Park Kindergarten Inc is not affiliated in any way with Keon Park Childrens Hub Kindergarten located at Dole Ave, Reservoir.
In the spirit of reconciliation our community would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which our preschool is situated - the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to their elders past, present and emerging.
