Pre-Kindy Program
Where bigger questions get bigger answers
At this age children are ready for deeper learning. They ask more complex questions, seek out collaborative play and are beginning to make sense of letters, numbers and the world around them.
Our pre-kindy program builds on this curiosity with inquiry projects, early literacy and numeracy, creative arts and collaborative group work, all planned around the EYLF learning outcomes.
Through intentional teaching, educators guide children in investigations, experiments and projects that develop critical thinking, problem-solving and confident, involved learners.
