About our preschool
We listen to and respect the voice and rights of children to access a high quality early years learning program.
We strive to create an inclusive, responsive and emergent play-based curriculum that is flexible to the needs, interests and goals of our children.
As we do this we seek to celebrate each child’s uniqueness, embrace diversity, support positive relationships, wellbeing and cooperation.
We nurture curiosity, exploration and promote positive outcomes and success for all children in a happy, flexible and supportive environment.
We respect parents and carers as our children’s first teacher and seek to work in partnership with them.

Thank you to The Secure Relationship💙
After our CAFHS appointments last week, some of our families have been talking about screen time recommendations for young children.
The nurse reminded families that no more than about a half an hour screen-time is recommended for children between 2-4 years.
No screen time is recommended under 2 years.The weekend is here! ☀️ Encourage your child to go outside and play instead of spending too much time on their screens! 🏀 🚲 ⚽️
Sharing with you the recommended screen time for kids, from the World Health Organization. 📱 👓
