Our educational philosophy

Preschool is a wonderful stage of development as children move beyond a self-focused toddler stage and develop a keenness to explore their world and extend their social group.

Our aim is to prepare children for school who are capable, confident and sensitive to others and respectful to adults. The children going on to kindergarten will know many academic concepts and have developed excellent skills, but more importantly, they will have developed a confident and enthusiastic approach to learning!

 

As dedicated Early Childhood Professionals, we regard children as unique individuals who learn and develop skills through exploration, creativity and investigation.

We support their learning through providing a developmentally appropriate program that caters for individual needs and is implemented within an encouraging, warm and safe environment. We communicate the program through a regular newsletter and wall displays, and it is centred around your children, their interests and their level of development.

This program is designed to foster and develop:

·      feelings of self-worth and high self-esteem

·      positive attitudes towards learning

·      caring attitudes towards other people and the environment

·      language and communication skills

·      skills and knowledge in all key areas of children’s development

 

Optimal development of young children is promoted through a rich variety of firsthand experiences, focusing on six key areas of children’s development:

·      Cognitive

·      Social

·      Emotional

·      Language

·      Fine Motor/Gross Motor

·      Creative

The way we organise the environment, select toys and materials, plan the daily routine and talk with the children, are all designed to give your child a successful start in school.

Above all, we are committed to providing consistently high-quality care and education, whilst promoting a partnership with all families, through encouraging family involvement. And we recognise that you are entrusting to our care your most precious gift, your child.
