Established in 1948, the beachside Parkdale Preschool is a vibrant, community-minded service. Wholly owned and run by a parent-led committee, the kindergarten is experienced in delivering a three-year-old group and two government-funded four-year-old groups. Our families work in partnership with teachers to ensure the preschool year is a positive learning experience that nurtures each child.
Each child is supported and challenged to grow and learn at their own pace in a safe, warm, caring and most importantly fun environment. Our pre-schoolers are encouraged to explore and investigate our learning spaces, both indoors and out, which are rich with natural and man-made materials. They are encouraged to be independent in making their own choices and be actively engaged in their own learning. Expert visitors are invited in to the three and four-year-old programs to share experiences and topics including dance, drama, dinosaurs, healthy eating and road safety. The four-year-old groups also venture out on excursions such as to the local pool for a water awareness day, story-time at the library and discovering sea life at Rickett’s Point. The specialist Smart Movers session is integrated into weekly sessions for our four-year-old groups to extend our children’s educational experiences. Smart Movers includes a range of experiences such as yoga, meditation and mindfulness, ball and sports skills, physical group games, exercise/fitness knowledge as well as incorporating learning about wellbeing and healthy lifestyles. |
