Wilberforce Pre-School provides a fun and nurturing environment where children feel safe and supported. Every child is encouraged to participate in the program.

Our program focuses on quality education and preparation for school. It is play based and provides a variety of opportunities and meaningful learning experiences based on children’s skills and interests.

The daily program incorporates intentional teaching by educators and active learning through play.

We implement the Early Years Learning Framework V2.0 (an early childhood curriculum) to ensure quality education to all children. The framework sets down five learning outcomes for children that are recognised to support them to achieve happiness and success. The outcomes are in relation to a strong sense of identity, connectedness, wellbeing, confidence as learners, and effective communication.

Educators plan experiences with specific outcomes in mind and collaborate with families and children for input.
