Canning Garden Methodist Church, has a long and storied history within the local community, especially in relation to education and the development of young minds. While the church itself was established as part of the Methodist mission in the region, it became particularly notable for its dedication to providing educational opportunities for children.

Over the years, Canning Garden Methodist Church played a pivotal role in the founding and operation of two kindergartens, namely Methodist Kindergarten Canning Garden and Methodist Girls' Kindergarten, offering early childhood education to children in the surrounding area. These kindergartens were designed to provide a strong foundation for young learners, emphasizing not only academic skills but also Christian values and moral teachings. The church’s involvement in education was part of its broader mission to serve the community by offering both spiritual and educational support.

These kindergartens began as part of the church’s outreach activities, a common practice for Methodist churches which often sought to combine religious teaching with social services. It became a cornerstone of the church's work in the Canning Garden neighborhood, helping to meet the needs of local families and ensuring that children had access to quality early education.

Today, these kindergartens continue to serve the community, providing a safe and nurturing environment where children can learn and grow. The legacy of the church’s commitment to education remains a vital part of Canning Garden Methodist Church’s identity, as it continues to be an institution that not only serves the spiritual needs of its congregation but also plays a crucial role in the broader community development.
