| Preschool Program | |||
|
A stimulating program of educational and fun activities is carried out every day. All classes engage in indoor activities, outdoor activities, group time, story time, lunch, rest, puzzles, games and craft. A 'transition to school' program is provided to children who will commence Kindergarten the following year. This involves preparation for literacy, numeracy and the routines and demands of 'big school'. 'Journals' are prepared for each child throughout the year and include portfolios of their work, paintings, photos of their achievements and interests and written comments. These become treasured keepsakes to be enjoyed for many years. | |||
