Preschool

Encouraging kids to reach further..

 

Our Preschool cares for children between the ages of 3 to 6 years. We have a specialised learning program directed to this age group that allows the children to learn, explore and build knowledge that will make them ready for the big new world to follow in their next steps, all whilst having fun in a safe and nurturing environment. The Preschoolers are right next door to their young friends in the Babies and Toddlers groups, and some of them like to give hugs to their younger siblings during playtime, now that we have a large see-through gate. They have their own outdoor area with age appropriate equipment to help inspire their imagination and use their energy mentally as well as physically.

We offer a number of services for the children to engage in whilst at the centre, on a weekly basis including: Music and Movement lesson, Gross Motor lesson, and weekly bread making. We provide all children with three meals; morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. Our very own chef cooks healthy and nutritionally balanced gourmet style meals.

We are accredited by The Australian National Childcare Accreditation Council and approved for all Government rebates.

 The hours of operation are Monday to Thursday from 7:30am to 5:30pm, and Friday from 7:30am-4:30pm.
