Our preschool
Elizabeth Park Preschool
At Elizabeth Park Preschool, we offer a high quality learning program. Using the early years’ learning framework Being, Belonging and Becoming as a guide, our program is taught using the framework’s stated principles and practices.
Our educators discuss each child daily and the program weekly, ensuring that all activities are child-centred. This ensures the program is focused on individual children’s needs and provide challenges and stimulation for children of all skill levels.
We strongly value the voice of the children in our program and run an emergent curriculum based on the children’s ideas and interests. This ensures they have a strong voice in the running of our learning program.
