To ensure the ongoing success of our preschool, we rely on a positive community of individuals actively engaged in various ways. Families can contribute by joining the Management Committee or P&C, participating in fundraising activities, assisting during maintenance periods, sharing expertise and community connections, spending time playing with the children, and more.

We highly appreciate the active involvement of families, recognizing its significance not only for our preschool community but also for the broader society.

We have a true open door policy with families welcome to join us as time allows. Some families stay and play in the morning, join us for lunch or come in to share interests and talents with a small group.

Certainly, your child will be assigned to a focus group and stay with the same educator and group of children for the entire year. This fosters the development of strong relationships and enables personalized planning for your child. All educators cultivate robust connections with every child and work together to support their learning. Educators eagerly embrace the opportunity to embark on the learning journey with both children and families.

The preschool follows a predictable routine to ensure that children feel secure, happy, and settled. Extended periods of uninterrupted play provide numerous opportunities for children to engage with the environment, interact with friends, master skills, explore interests, and express creativity.

Additionally, intentional teaching and learning occur in small group settings. For an example, please refer to our page on a typical preschool day.
