Parents and carers receive a comprehensive Welcome Pack when they enrol, providing clear information about our programs, policies, and daily practices to help families feel confident, informed, and supported from the very beginning.

Educators create opportunities for children to experience mathematical ideas through play + problem solving + exploration. Children engage with numeracy when they build, sort loose parts, pour, compare, notice patterns, turn-take and investigate
Children develop literacy through rich, hands- on experiences that invite communication, storytelling, mark-making and exploration of symbols. Children build on the foundations of reading and writing by engaging in conversations, listening to stories, experimenting with drawing, exploring books, acting out ideas and using materials to express their thinking

Prep Preschool Program

Prep Literacy + Language + Numeracy
Extend literacy by offering meaningful provocations and experiences that allow children to practice and develop vocabulary, phonological awareness, comprehension, narrative sills, early writing behaviours and a love of language
Extend mathematical thinking by offering materials that invite counting, grouping measuring, estimating and exploring spatial reasoning. Numeracy becomes a language of discovery, co-constructed through dialogue and collaboration and honours children as capable.
