Prepare Early Education Centre - Forestville

The educators provide an environment that is inclusive, warm and secure for each child.  The highly trained and enthusiastic educators will respond to children’s ideas in play, follow their evolving interests and extend upon their learning. The toddlers have the opportunity to grow their independence, create friendships with others and learn new life skills.  The children enjoy the centre’s fun phonics program, large construction areas, as well as music and movement activities.

The educators offer an inquiry based and play based learning environment that promotes children to use open-ended questioning, predicting, explaining, shared thinking and problem solving supported by a diverse range of learning materials to extend and enhance the children’s ideas and interests. The children prepare for their school readiness journey but also with the skills and strategies to support a love of lifelong learning. The children enjoy the focussed literacy and numeracy program, investigations, research and project-based experiences, and other activities within literacy, numeracy, science, creative arts, health and wellbeing and sustainability.

The preschool programs are run by experienced university qualified teachers and offer each child a range of stimulating and thought provoking opportunities to grow and develop in all areas, ensuring that preparation for school is at the forefront of the curriculum. This will ensure that the children will be able to challenge and extend their own thinking, understand various concepts, create new knowledge and are given opportunities to enhance their skills and learn to value a love of lifelong learning.  The educators take a holistic approach to teaching and learning and focus on children’s physical, personal, social, emotional and cognitive development and wellbeing. The centre’s transition to school program includes school orientation visits and various incursions, lunch box weeks and school uniform week, to ensure that each child develops the necessary independence and self-help skills to assist with their school transition.
