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.
We acknowledge each child’s individuality
and encourage independent thinking, self-motivation,
perseverance and a belief in themselves and their abilities.
We recognise that a cooperative effort
by parents and teachers is essential in providing a
continuity of experience from the home to the kindergarten.
This positive and open communication is essential
to ensure the individual needs of each family regarding
the care and learning of their child are met.
Our kindergarten provides a safe, happy
and stimulating environment where knowledge, interests,
skills and understanding are discovered, challenged
and nurtured through play. This in turn provides
a wonderful foundation for instilling the joy, love
and thirst for learning, which is essential in formative
educational years.
