Bronte Kids Preschool

At Bronte Kids Preschool we understand that children learn at their own pace through play, interests and meaningful interactions with others. Early childhood is a vital stage in human development and lays the foundation for future learning. We believe young children should have time to play, try new things, have fun exploring the world around them and just be.

We strive to create a healthy and safe environment that will allow children to be creative, stimulated and curious.

We regard the environment as the third teacher therefore a constant effort is applied to all of our indoor and outdoor spaces to create natural learning environments that are designed to encourage wellbeing, wonder and belonging. We recognise that we all contribute to the wellbeing of the environment that we live in and we encourage educators and children to discover a respect for the land, nature and animals. We provide opportunities for the children to care for and watch our plants and veggie patch grow outside, whilst also encouraging the use of our worm farm, where they sort their food scraps into appropriate bins each day.

Bronte Kids Preschool strives to provide a meaningful, integrated, emergent curriculum using the Early Years Learning Framework; a child lead program that is embedded into our everyday practices and routines. We highly value the role of our educators in building genuine relationships with each child as this underpins our program and enables learning to occur. A balance between intentional teaching and play-based activities is essential to children�s learning and fosters every aspect of the �whole child�. We also incorporate extra-curricular activities into our program from outside agencies including tennis, yoga, drama and music.

Our educators observe and share the children's learning experiences, extend the child's thinking and intentionally introduce the children to new learning. Educators are committed to ongoing training in the childcare field and meet on a regular basis to continually update and improve the quality of service and standard of care we provide. All staff continually take part in up to date professional development workshops.

Bronte Kids Preschool endeavours to create a "family-like" atmosphere and recognises the importance of creating a link between home and the preschool, where both parents and educators work in partnership to develop the child as a whole in a mutually supportive and caring environment. We regularly organise morning and afternoon teas with parents as an opportunity for everyone to come together. We also host parent evenings throughout the year and these provide a platform for parents to have a voice and chat with educators.

Our service is open from 7:30am to 6pm
