The kindergarten runs an Open Day in May of each year.  This is a great opportunity for new and existing families to come along and see what happens at kinder, meet and talk to the teachers and other parents and see what a fantastic environment AMK provides. Dates and details of the Open Day are published in Monash Council advertising material and on this website closer to the time.
