Parkdale Pre School Association
The Parkdale Pre School Association operates Parkdale Preschool, a community kindergarten established in 1948 in Parkdale, Victoria. Serving the local area, it provides early childhood education through play-based programs for three- and four-year-old children.

History
Founded in response to community demand, the preschool initially operated from St. Aiden’s Anglican Church hall before relocating to its current site in 1958. Land for the permanent facility was donated by Mrs. Ivy Gunn, with funding assistance from the Victorian Department of Health. The kindergarten has undergone multiple renovations, including a 2019 outdoor nature play space upgrade and a 2022–2023 building refurbishment to modernize facilities[1][3][4].

Governance
Managed by a parent-led committee of management, the association operates as a nonprofit incorporated entity. Committees are elected annually and include roles such as president, treasurer, and coordinators for fundraising, grants, and maintenance[3][4].

Programs
The preschool is rated as Exceeding National Standards and offers up to 15 hours of weekly free education. Key initiatives include the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden program, promoting hands-on food education, and the Neighbourhood Explorers Program, which connects children with local community spaces through excursions[1][5].

Facilities
The campus features a natural outdoor play area and a modernized classroom designed for inclusive, play-based learning. Its location is described as a "hidden sanctuary" within Parkdale, emphasizing a focus on creativity and exploration[1][3].
