Isabel Henderson Kindergarten celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2013. The kindergarten began in 1913 as the Fitzroy Mission Kindergarten at the corner of Young and Leicester Streets, in what was then a poor and overcrowded suburb. Today the kindergarten is a vibrant and well resourced centre in North Fitzroy running long day kindergarten programmes for 3 to 5 year olds. There are many interesting stories to tell of the kindergartenʼs evolvement over the last 100 years and we have an exciting future to look forward to.
- Children have a strong sense of identity
- Children are connected with and contribute to their world
- Children have a strong sense of wellbeing
- Children are confident and involved learners
- Children are effective communicators

Isabel Henderson Aboriginal Acknowledgement
A long time ago, the first people to live on and care for this land were the Wurundjeri people. They are the Traditional Owners and custodians of the land on which Isabel Henderson Kindergarten is built. Together we are on a journey to learn and to share their knowledge about caring for country; protecting and replenishing this land. By connecting children to the Wurundjeri people, their teachings and stories, we hope that they too will care for the land, and waterways - taking only what they need, and cherishing it for others to share. We also pay our respects to the Wurundjeri Elders past, present and future, acknowledging the vital role they play in connection to country and culture.
