Our Programs

Providing a rich curriculum.

Each of our five preschool programs are led by degree-qualified early childhood teachers and are supported by experienced diploma-qualified educators. In partnership with families, teachers develop a ‘priority learning goal’ for each child. This ensures teams are focused on providing teaching and learning attuned to individual needs and strengths. Each room provides a rich curriculum based on the Early Years Learning Framework.
