About

Early experiences lay the foundations for future learning & we know that ensuring these experiences are positive leads to greater success in school and adult life. We strongly believe that children learn through play and hands-on experiences. At Belmont North Preschool we are guided by The Early Years Learning Framework to achieve the best possible learning and developmental outcomes for each child. We believe children are capable and resourceful learners. We carefully plan, curate and reflect on environments both indoors and out, that support and provide opportunities for children to discover, explore, investigate, express themselves, problem solve, be creative, resourceful and interact with one another.

GOALS

Provide a balance of individual, small and large group activities and spontaneous play and teacher guided and intentional teaching moments and activities.
