Pre Kindergarten | Learning Ladder ELC

As children approach kindergarten they start to develop a stronger sense of identity and independence.

Pre-Kinder Room’s cater for children approximately from 3-4 years of age. In these room’s children are given the opportunity to explore new ideas and concepts as well as prepare them for kinder the following year.

The program is developed from children’s interests as well as incorporating activities that assist children to achieve goals set by their parents and educator, children begin to develop independence skills in this age group, they begin to dress themselves, choose activities and become aware for other children and form friendships.

Children are given the opportunity to contribute to the program their ideas and activities that they wish to engage in.

Active exploration

Through educational experiences such as as painting, building, cooperative and imaginative play, physical activity, making and creating. Our learning environment encourages children to play together to explore their world and develop important social and physical skills.

Literacy & Numeracy

Through play and music our qualified childcare educators help your child build the foundations that contribute to a life-long love of learning. We encourage children to count, look for patterns, discover shapes and recognise their numbers and letters.

Caring and warm environment

Along with high quality learning resources and facilities, our qualified childcare educators are well equipped and passionate to create responsive and respectful relationships with children and their families. We believe these positive relationships lay the foundation for exploration and discovery, giving children a safe ‘base’ to return to and share their experiences with.

“Before hurting anyone, especially those who cannot protect themselves, feel their pain with your heart. Take care of them as your little child.”
