Woollahra Preschool has recently expanded to cater for an additional 20 children/day. Their new playroom opened on 12 October 2020, thanks to a capital grant from the NSW Government and funding from the Council.
This service is a recipient of funding under the N.S.W. Department of Education’s Start Strong for Preschools program and fee relief is available for families of eligible children.
Start Strong aims to make 600 hours of preschool participation in the two years before school more affordable by reducing fees for children, with priority given to reducing fees for children in the year before school, and children aged three years and above from low-income and Aboriginal families, and children with disability and additional needs.
Woollahra Preschool is committed to providing a high quality play-based curriculum that enables children to lay the foundations for success in life.
They work in partnership with parents, staff members and other related services to ensure that the children develop a strong sense of their identity and well-being, establish connections with their world as well as build effective communication skills, confidence and involvement in their learning. Their curriculum is culturally diverse and builds upon individual strengths and interests while valuing play as the most effective medium for learning and development.
They strive to maintain a high standard of professional development to invigorate their delivery of a relevant and emergent curriculum. They share information about current practices and research findings influencing developments in the field of Early Childhood Education and Care.
