The kindergarten has been operating as an association and run by a volunteer committee of management since November 7, 1959.

The committee consists of parents and families who invest their time to ensure the kindergarten functions smoothly and to its full potential.

Lead teacher Marina Puppa-Elson said without the help and dedication of past and present parents Seymour Preschool would not have survived.

“Mitchell Shire has always offered generous assistance through the years towards the building and supporting teachers, co-educators and administration,” she said.

“It has been impressive to see the preschool develop through the years and to what it has become today. We have seen past students attend with their children and grandchildren.

“Seymour Preschool focuses on establishing warm mutually respectful relationships between educators and families.

“We believe these are the essential ingredients to providing a good quality early learning program for all children now and into the future.

“Here’s to the next 60 years.”
