Pre-Kinder / Kindergarten (3–4 Years Old)
The 3–4-year-old years are a critical time for preparing children for kindergarten and school and lifelong learning. During this important stage of development, children are becoming more independent thinkers, communicators and problem solvers. Our educators build secure and trusting relationships with every child to extend their learning, confidence and sense of belonging. Our curriculum is flexible, child-led and responsive to children’s interests, while ensuring all key learning and developmental areas are intentionally supported in alignment with the Early Years Learning Framework — Belonging, Being and Becoming. We provide an interactive and engaging environment where children are encouraged to explore, question, create and discover the world around them.
