About Ewing
Located on Manning Road in Malvern East, Ewing Kindergarten has been providing kindergarten services since 1946. It was born out of the community’s vision to provide the Malvern East community with an enriching social and educational environment for children.
Today, Ewing Kindergarten remains a community-run not-for-profit kindergarten dedicated to providing an exceeding kindergarten service and continuously improving and enhancing the experience for children, families and our staff.
Our approach is focused on:
Nature Play: Our approach centres on meaningful and engaging play experiences that revolve around nature, sustainability, and the integration of First Nations perspectives and knowledge.
Tailored Education Programs: We craft education programs to ensure they align with the children's interests, strengths, and needs, creating a vibrant and responsive learning environment aligned with our Philosophy.
Welcoming and Inclusive Environment: We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming and inclusive setting. We prioritise building strong, reciprocal relationships with both our children and their families.
Strong Community Ties: We maintain deep ties with our local community, fostering a sense of belonging and an understanding of our interconnectedness with others.
At Ewing Kindergarten, we're committed to guiding the children on a journey of self-discovery, nurturing their full potential through immersive and engaging experiences. Our dedicated team draw on their extensive expertise, our Philosophy, the National Quality Framework, and the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework to tailor an exceptional program.
The kindergarten is governed and supported by a parent-led Committee of Management.
🌱 Our Commitment to Child Safety

All children are welcome here.
