Preschool Learning

Preschool Learning
In our preschool classroom, children’s wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do. We create a warm, inclusive environment where every child feels safe, supported, and confident to explore. Through play-based and inquiry-led learning, children build friendships, develop emotional resilience, and grow into curious, capable learners. Our educators support their journey with both spontaneous and intentional teaching moments, helping each child thrive.

Preparing for Kindergarten
We support children to become independent by encouraging self-help skills such as dressing, toileting, mealtimes, and caring for their belongings. Our School Readiness Program builds strong foundations in early literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving. If your child is preparing for school they will receive their own prep booklet, guiding them through meaningful learning experiences that help prepare them for a smooth and confident transition to school.

Connecting to outside world
Our weekly sports program also forms part of our curriculum, supporting children’s physical development while building important social and emotional skills. Through active play, they learn teamwork, cooperation, and confidence in a fun and encouraging environment. We regularly explore our local community through excursions to parks, cafés, and aged care centres, helping children feel connected and develop a strong sense of belonging. We also invite community members into our centre for engaging incursions that inspire learning and curiosity across topics like sea life, sustainability, and cultural diversity.

Our learning program 
Our program offers a rich blend of literacy, numeracy, STEM, and sustainability, all brought to life through hands-on, play-based experiences. Guided by the principles, practices, and learning outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), we support children in nurturing creativity, responsibility, and a lifelong love of learning. Whether they are caring for our garden and worm farm, exploring patterns, or investigating the natural world, children are encouraged to become confident, curious learners. We are committed to working in close partnership with families, supporting each child’s unique growth and celebrating every milestone along the way.
