OUR PHILOSOPHY

Hurstbridge Pre-school prides itself on being a part of a strong and unique community.

We provide an excellent educational program that goes beyond numeracy and literacy and assists children with the development of life skills such as resilience, problem solving, individual thinking, cooperation and inquiry. This is accompanied with an adherence to values including a genuine care and respect for others, for property and for our environment, embracing cultural differences and tolerance. Read more...

PROGRAMS

PLAY is the most important learning tool in early childhood (0 - 8 years) education.  Our 3 and 4 year old kinder programs facilitate and promote intensive, individual learning through play - the children role play, create, improvise, explore, solve problems, etc. Read more...

At this time Preschool education was acknowledged as an important part of the early years of learning. The money raised by the local community was used for buying equipment. Read more.
