Our Curriculum is based on the children’s interests and ideas along with key learning areas.

We pride ourselves on delivering a curriculum that provides a balance between intentional teaching to scaffold children’s learning and play based learning opportunities.

Our environment allows children to be involved and hands on learners as children enjoy engaging in our well-resourced and carefully designed indoor and outdoor play spaces. 

Our Transition to School Readiness program is especially designed to equip our Preschool group with the social and emotional skills, independence, confidence and pre learning skills ensuring the best possible start to their Primary School journey.

Our School readiness Program is developed by a qualified Early Childhood teachers with every child’s best interest at heart. We see children as individuals and work to their strengths and interests.

We have combined the best of traditional Preschool teaching methods with more modern teaching Frameworks, including the Early Years Learning Framework for Australia.

Our Program enables children’s interests to be recognised and extended within the Program. We observe children at play and whilst engaging in more structured experiences.

Our School readiness Program encourages opportunity for children to be exposed to:

• Provocation inquiry learning 
• STEM
• Develop scissor skills along with fine motor control
• Learning to use a comfortable and suitable pencil grip and develop writing skills
• Exploring literacy and numeracy
• Gross motor develop and health and safety awareness
