Pathway to School

Our 3-year-old Kindergarten and 4-year-old Pre-Prep programs nurture young learners as they gain confidence, make decisions, and develop emotional strength and social connections. Children learn to collaborate, problem-solve, and express themselves while building key skills in literacy, numeracy, and communication. They also explore healthy choices, personal responsibility, and creative thinking in an engaging and supportive environment.

We provide inquiry-based curriculum through play - across exciting learning areas, including:

• STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths)
• Language and Literacy
• Active and Involved Citizens
• Nature Play and Sustainability
• The Arts
• Health and Wellbeing

With a balance of small and whole-group experiences, both indoors and outdoors, children are encouraged to wonder, discover, and grow - preparing them for a bright future ahead!

Our amazing in-house chef, Margarita, has been serving up nutritious and delicious meals here for over 10 years! She crafts wholesome dishes that cater to all dietary needs and allergies, ensuring every child enjoys fresh, balanced meals. Families love her menu, packed with variety and flavour.
